Topic: Kizuna - The Return of Jaleco

[Caliban]

Good news, good news indeed.

[Stratos]

They probably only lost their support and funding from Jaleco. The game itself was only relying on money from Jaleco so all that may need to happen (and may already have done so) is another publisher to step in. They could not have a publisher but are confident enough in the game that they are still working on it in hopes of a publisher agreeing to pick it up.

This looks like a job for...XSEED! Seeing as they are the hero underground-indie publisher of the hour.

Jaleco was always a small publisher worldwide, and it's impossible now for Jaleco to publish anything anymore since they are out of business Kizuna will be funded by Game Yarou, I have a feeling that Marvelous will pick up the rights to publish in Japan and have a copublishing in NA of Marevlous/XSEED (xseed is helping marvelous build a US presence afterall).

Ja(xseed is helping marvelous build a US presence afterall).

Is that why I've seen a growing number of projects they both have their names attached.

Weird commercial without game footage.

Japanese teaser.

I hope it's fun to play, and that it eventually has a North-American release.

In response to the commercial: "LOL Wot?"

[Caliban]

It definitely made no sense whatsoever.

What happened to my cool dramatic shading?

[Caliban]

Maybe lack of funding. I still think the game looks interesting.

[SirSniffy]

This looks very nice...this would be so cool if it got translated.

A little bit of info about the status of Jaleco Limited and if the title will make it out of Japan

- Jaleco Limited will operate normally under GameYarou’s full ownership
- no changes will be made
- the Jaleco brand name will be kept
- work on Kizuna continues towards a May 28th release in Japan

When Mr. Takakura was asked about Kizuna coming outside of Japan, his answer was “Unfortunately, I can’t tell you yet, but wait for it.”

Hmmm, does that mean he unfortunately can't tell us a date yet but it is coming or that unfortunately he doesn't has a US publisher yet? Curious.

Thanks for the update Maxi, it is appreciated

I take what he said as that they are working on it.Well I guess we got to wait it out.See what comes of this situation.

Your welcome Stratos.
