From GoNintendo:
Quote from: RMCReader PAX24 got in touch with Atlus to see if there was any way possible they could publish both Trace Memory R and Soma Bringer in the states, and this is what they had to say...
"Thank you for your suggestions. We will look into both Another Code: R and Soma Bringer, as both of these titles look like something we'd publish."
I almost get the feeling that the person that answered this email doesn't realize that Nintendo is involved in both titles!
Now...it's obviously very difficult to procure first part titles/series. Much like RMC, I think the rep is just a tad confused. But it brings up questions best left for this board - which third parties do you trust with those titles? And do you think there should be as much red tape for a third party to get their hands on any first party series when the publisher does nothing with it?
