So little actual footage.
Atlus USA, do your thing.

I want to see images of the guy who showed it. That 30s swag :lol
Give it another chance? I wouldn't mind but I'm under the impression the initial K. Banchou game didn't sell well to warrant releasing the other games.
Their thing has been to not localize these games. They one and done the franchise with the KB3 on PSP. There was five other games in the series that they skipped.
Hiroyuki Sonobe was teasing a new Derby Stallion, not Kenka Banchō.
Not too familiar with the franchise outside of Badass Rumble, but would the 3DS be a more potentially profitable platform to publish these games in North America for than the PSP was at the time?
Niche games tend to sell the same no matter the platform. That's why we're seeing so many Vita games come over despite the fact that no one in North America owns the machine. With that in mind, I'm not convinced a 3DS localization would automatically do a lot better than what the PSP release did. It could leave Japan, but I'd say it's more likely it won't.
It was also a period where Atlus USA massively cut back on picking up 3rd party titles in general though. In fact KBBR was the last fully 3rd party PSP game they published at all, everything else came from their Japanese parent or Sting distribution deal. It might have been low sales but there was also a clear policy shift then too.Atlus USA's last PSP game was Growlanser in 2012. KB: Badass Rumble launched three years earlier. Clearly PSP was still a viable platform for them to stick around. If BR sold well, I imagine they would have tried at least one more.
Kenka Banchō is totally unrelated....Wait, so they basically announced two titles at once? What did he actually say?
So did anyone see this coming? Like I said it's interesting how they decided to bring a Sony-exclusive series to 3DS all of the sudden, when they did multiplatform development of previous exclusive games, such as:
999 DS -> Zero Escape 3DS and Vita
Conception PSP -> Vita and 3DS
The PSP installment is a great hidden gem on PSN if you have a Vita. Fingers crossed for a localization.
And live in america. It's not available in Europe.

Only way would be to import a UMD copy, if you're in Europe.
Do we know this is exclusive yet or are you just speculating?
I know it was in a 3DS Direct, but I didn't know what the guy was saying so I was wondering whether there was a chance this could come to Vita as well.
The guy speaking wasn't related to the game, he was teasing a new Derby Stallion for 3DS. Also when has a game been unveiled for the first time in a direct ever been a multiplat game? Multiplats have been covered before, but no games that were world first in a direct have been IIRC.
Oh I remember, OH GOD NOOOO.remember Escape from Bug Island on Wii?
Zero Escape and Conception II would have both been green-lighted in the first year of the Vita's life
I guess spike feel the numbers they'd get from a vita port aren't worth the porting costs.

Couldn't you just open a NA account in EU?
