It appears the only way to play Valkyria Chronicles III: Unrecorded Chronicles for PSP will be in Japanese.

Sega's team manager of console sales Hiroshi Seno recently told GameSpot the company has no plans to localize the title in North America and Europe, citing poor sales of the sequel and dipping popularity of the PSP system in those regions.

What about perhaps bringing the title to PlayStation Vita? Seno said the company would make that decision that next time it meets with Sony.

Bad year for things not getting localized. First those promising Wii games and now this? Sad indeed *goes back to Dark Souls*

Is it just me or are more and more businesses in the gaming industry shooting themselves in the foot?

man that sucks it was a pretty good game! it would be even better for the vita maybe that is when it will come here hope so!

Maybe a PS3 collection? (ala GoW:Origins) Please? "citing poor sales of the sequel and dipping popularity of the PSP system in those regions." Why the hell didn't you stay on the PS3 in the first place?

That really sucks, though i wish it wasnt on the psp to start with. I guess the gameplay kinda makes sense for a portable system, i would just rather sit down in my house and spend a few hours playing it.

Boo! I am not happy about this at all. In fact it makes me want to join TEAM GIO just so that I feel better! http://www.gameinformer.com/blogs/members/b/jeremy78_blog/archive/2011/09/19/need-a-good-karma-boost-help-some-sick-kids-and-all-will-be-forgiven.aspx

That sucks. I still think they should of stayed on the PS3 for the sequels. The first Valkyria Chronicles was a great game!

I feel bad for Joe Juba. But still I have enjoy both the 1st and 2nd of the Valkyria Chronicles.

Nooooooooo!

Time to break out my Pimsleur Japanese tapes again...

Is localizing not worth the potential money of bringing it to another market? It would be logical to sell it here too if to at least to make more fans for better sales for the next game... like an investment...

Anger rising... urge to kill, ri- wait I forgot 2 and 3 are PSP titles. *shrug* I would get upset over the lack of more proper console releases for the franchise but, I won't waste my breath.

Why would they need to?

by Boyzby Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 05:43 PM

This makes me very sad. :(
I hope that they do an HD Collection with these PSP games because they should get more attention.
by jmeyer2039 Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 05:43 PM

Is there some sort of grand conspiracy going on to completely separate North America from Japan in the gaming industry so that we're no longer playing anything that was developed within their shores? What the f***ing f***?
