"Unfortunately the 3DS system is region-locked, which means we can’t release region-free 3DS games. If you’d like to see VLR in Europe, I encourage you to contact your local localizers, like Rising Star or Ghostlight".
Does that mean a) IF it is released in Europe, the script will be different? b) I thought publishers could choose to make their games Region Free or not? At least theres the option of a Vita but its a lot to buy for 1 game only, grrrr.
Thats a shame I'll probably have to get 2 different machines, it sounds like unless a 3DS version is published in Europe I won't be able to play it on there.

Or maybe there is no such thing as a region-free 3DS game. If so, color me surprised.
EDIT: As for the differing scripts, the European localizers could pay Aksys for their game script. I'm sure something like that's been done before, since it would be easier than translating the game from Japanese twice.

I wasnt sure either. Guess I just have to wait and see if it gets a European release or not but if a European 3DS version has a different localiser, I'm worried the script/localisation may not be as good (don't understand how that works anyway, can't Nintendo just bring it over and optimise the game for European 3DS?)
This game is a third party title, so the only thing NOE (Nintendo of Europe) does with this game is approve its release on the system. Another company, the localizer, is the one actually responsible for bringing the game over and adapting it to the region (translation, local censorship laws, etc.)
Aksys is the company localizing the game in the United States. They translate, localize, and publish the game. The only thing NOA (Nintendo of America) does is give the game the Seal of Approval (and other small things, like providing the developer kit).
As I said, the European localizer may be able to strike a deal with Aksys to use their script for the English translation, so the European version might not be immediately different in English. But they may find the need to change some things anyway.

I'll wait and see what happens (or get a Vita if there are other games I want on it). It'll be even more annoying buying a USA 3DS for one game :D
I dropped Rising Star games an email to see what would happen, just asking about localisation.

It's not the first time a game has a completely different publisher in Europe than in the USA.

That's quite clearly a picture of 999's Zero.
I hope this rebranding will lead to a european release of the 1st game... leading to a EU release of the sequel ;)
I wonder how they'll call 999.... Zero Escape: 999?

Also, I think that Amazon date might hold some truth in it. I went back and looked at who posted it on the Aksys forums. It's the same guy who gave us that "No plans" message.

The rooms are colored coded. There's a Cyan, a Magenta, and a Yellow room. These are the secondary colors of light, or more importantly, the primary colors of print, sans one, but I'll get to that. RGB stands for Red Green and Blue, the primary colors of light. The shorthand for the colors of print is CMYK for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Black's initial is 'K' so when talking about the two spectrums, you don't confuse blue for black.
My bet is that K's story will have to deal with the yet unseen Black room.

To be fair, No More Heroes wasn't really censored. The blood wasn't present in the Japanese version either; it was specifically added for the US version. Apparently, Suda51 thought it'd be more appealing to the US audience that way.
I don't think VLR would get censored if it got released here; it'd just get rated PEGI 18.

You're right it could be rated 18 (certainly 999 would be rated PEGI 16 if not higher IMO).

I agree PEGI 16 (or BBFC 15 maybe) seems more likely.

Though with BBFC game ratings they will say things like "Contains strong language" or whatever whereas the PEGI ratings just have the symbols.

Does the Vita have a stylus like the DS? Touching with your fingers could leave many prints on the screen, no?
I still hope for an EU 3DS release but if the worst comes to the worst, Vita it is.

The 3DS has a resistive touch screen, which depends on pressure rather than a conductive finger, so that's why you usually use a stylus with it rather than your finger (would be more expensive to make the screen fingerprint resistant).
I'm sure that the glass on the Vita is fingerprint resistant, like the iPhone, so I don't think that's an issue.
Interesting...

I'm not too familiar with how resistive screens work (Other then they work with pressure, and that the DS cannot track more then one item at once), but I'm lead to believe that capacitive displays work by tracking the static electricity in your fingers.
You are correct about capacitive.
Resistive touch screens are essentially two thin sheets of material that are conductive (with resistance) separated by an air gap, and pressure causes the two sheets to touch. The position is measured based on the resulting voltage across the two sheets. The (3)DS touch screen doesn't have multitouch, but resistive touch screens can be designed to have multitouch (which is not really needed on a screen designed for a stylus, but would be desired on a smartphone).

Plus, they seems rather focused on JRPG, though that's not the only kind of games they've published.
And frankly, it would be rather useless to have the only version of the game that isn't region-locked...
Then again, I can't say I can predict what will happen, but I doubt Ghostlight will be the one to publish the game in Europe, at least on 3DS.
Hope you get an answer anyway, grim_tales. Who knows, if we end up getting VLR 3DS in Europe, it might be thanks to you ;)

The reasoning behind the localization name (No spoilers)
And this... There's no spoilers to the magnitude of X, the killer's, theme, but this IS the english names of the OST (aka the soundtrack). (Don't know if this was posted yet. As far as I see, it only spoils locations, sort of. And check out the first / last track names. "Virtue's Last Reward" as a title haters are going to rage / hate. (Love all of you.)

Thats a very good article on why they decided to go with "VLR" as a title, I know the phrase "Virtue is its own reward" but not the other one. Really looking forward to it.
IMO if (say) Rising Star were to publish VLR, they should release it here at the same time as America.
