It's amazing at the sheer number of DS games Japan releases like every month. They're already talking about another Blue Dragon DS game when the first one has yet to even make it over here yet! I see all kinds of interesting Japanese DS games that'll never make it over here. For instance, what about the awesome looking Front Mission 2089? We just get the SNES remake while they get Front Mission prequels, sequels, the whole bit. Dang.

I read somewhere that we never got 2089 because the first Front Mission sold very poorly in NA. Which makes me feel bad because I only picked up my copy a few months ago =(

Yes, good ol' no-localization Namco. If you want any hope of seeing this game in the U.S., fire off an email to XSEED. Apparently the localization/distribution rights to certain Namco-Bandai games are actually attainable, provided they're not a flagship series like Tales. I asked one of the XSEED employees about Fragile for the Wii and they didn't outright say that it was impossible for them to get it, but, rather, that it was one of their most-requested games and that they'd look into it.

Believe me, they have no qualms about dashing your hopes when you make a request, so when they say they're going to look into something it's not just empty placation--I've been flatly told "not viable in North America" multiple times. With Atlus sitting on their hands churning out half-baked Success Corp. and Global A titles, XSEED's probably your only option.

Of course, they are very sales-conscious considering that they survive on the thinnest of profits, so this slight hope itself may be contingent upon Blue Dragon Plus' sales in NA.
