Kacho wa Meitantei - Game Center CX 2

[Imsmoke855]

The "No export for you" game, too bad. I downloaded the game instead...lol

[jonjon4401]

I actually played this game, and I beat the first challenge, by guessing, no joke. xD lol.

I haven't gotten any farther though. -.-

And THIS is the reason that no matter how many copies the original sells, the sequel will never come out in English-speaking nations. Not just the "KKK" dust-up, but ALSO that it's a text adventure/visual novel sort of game, and not only do I see XSeed not wanting to translate it, but I also see most players (who aren't Japanophiles) not wanting to have anything to do with it. And that sucks, because it's ALSO the reason I can't import. It'd be a roadblock for me, forever, this game.

@Procyonidae

it's not a kkk dust-up... you ever heard pf 20th century boys?

[sgutsman]

too bad this is not going to be localized untill

retro game challenge reaches 100,000 sales

:(

[Misterebony]

I hope we see this is the US and soon. the fiorst Retro Game Challenge rocked!

[TrueSoreThumb]

Omg! Talk about an Adventure Game XD

I love this. Arino's an Adventure Game hero? XD

[GrinningColossus]

Famicom Tantei 2 for the SNES has an english patch out...

[Makron5]

I hope we get the KKK in our version of Game Center CX 2.

[Monstevr]

Really. What the hell was that? Do the Japanese just not get what the KKK are? I see this kind of imagery a lot, and it's all pretty haphazard (Mother 2, Giant Robo, et cetera).

Maybe they're just Spanish priests.

[genredleader]

Of course, they don't. They're JAPANESE. They create everything for themselves, with no thought about export potential or symbols or imagiary that might be looked down upon in the West. And considering their population of African Americans, or Americans in general is so low, there's nobody to protest or get offended by this stuff so they don't care. [SHRUGS]

[NotABot55]

Who say they're Klansmen? They could be:

1) Mabu's henchmen from Namco's sidescrolling classic, Rolling Thunder

2) Coneheads

3) a mixed convention of executioners and sorcerers

So let's not go up in arms over some guys in pointed robes, all right?

Think about this; how often do you see the Star of David in various popular media? Now amongst those times, how often have you heard any Jewish people raising a fuss?

[Makron5]

Don't ruin this. It's funnier that way.

[SwordOfCrystalis]

They will probly stay true to form and Nintendo of America will censor it, but at the end you will still get to see a KKK members head blow up.

[genredleader]

I don't know where you've been for the last decade or two, but Nintendo doesn't censor other people's games anymore. In fact, they haven't since the N64.  If it gets censored, it will likely be by whoever publishes the game in the US.

[MaxxTheSlash]

I was about to comment asking if they were supposed to be the Ku Klux Klan. Thanks for confirming it for me. I hope that game let's us kill them..

[Makron5]

Why not have a game where you are one of them and you have black friends and then you have to hide it from them and feel disappointment and shame and conflict in a choice of a brotherhood that seemed to accept you the protagonist who never felt true acceptance before joining up or morality and your new friends who seem nice.

[rotate1991]

hope this one gets an english release aswell!

[Devilbat]

Thee games represent the 16bit era. The first game represented the 8bit era

[NotABot55]

There's a sequel already? Oh yeah, they've gotta put this one out overseas sometime after RGC, man!

[jirom]

I'm looking forward to Game Center CX2 but I will probably get stuck in this game :(

[1983parrothead]

XD. Some of it was inspired by the Famicom Tantei Club series and several RPGs.
