Xseed Games explains their hopes for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter in North America.

"We have been keeping an eye on this title for awhile. Thankfully, due to our good relationship with Namco Bandai, having done Fragile Dreams and Sky Crawlers with them before, we have an open channel of communication," said Ken Berry, Director of Publishing at Xseed.

"We were weighing before whether to do this title or not and once we found out Nintendo of Europe was already localizing this into English it made our decision much easier. This is a title the developer, CyberConnect2, are super passionate about and they really wanted to see it released in the U.S. and they worked with us to make it happen."

How well does Xseed think the title will sell in North America? They're not quite sure, but they don't want to get their hopes too high.

"We're definitely worried and that's one of the things we discussed with Namco. We had to make sure that their expectations are inline with the realities of the market now. I think both of us, meaning Xseed and Namco, are going into this project hopeful because its such a great title, but we're also realistic about the type of sales we may see due to overall environment of the DS market right now."
