Unless you are clueless about it, its been confirmed that 4kids entertainment has dropped the One Piece rights and will no longer dub and distribute the rest of the series. So far they have only dubbed 100 episodes of the series, leave the other 100 up in the air.
So how does this play in the grand scheme of things? Well, you all know that Nintendo has been touting "One Piece Ultimate adventure" as a Wii title worth checking out. Its been shown in all the Wii trailers and it was even demoed at E3!
My question is, with 4kids no longer dubbing One Piece does this mean that the game might not get released in the US? Does this leave Bandai/Namco in charge of localizing and releasing the game?
Before you say "the game will not come out!", keep in mind that the game WAS demoed at E3. Why would Nintendo put money into demoing games that will never come out in the States?
From what I know, the One Piece games have done well and people have knowledge of the franchise so it wouldn't be like Bandai is dropping a bomb on people.
Can anyone contribute to this? Anyone know any information I may be missing?
