You can raise more than 160 Digimon, and including bosses, more than 200 unique Digimon appear in Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode.
The petition for Bandai Namco America and UK to localize the Digimon video games, such as Digimon Story: Cuber Sleuth for the PS Vita, has successfully reached its goal of 50,000 signatures.
I'd take Digimon Cyber Sleuth and God Eater 2 localizations over Sword Art Online and One Piece anyday, why are Namco holding back the better and more demanded games?
I remember them (Namco) saying that if the petition reached its goal they would certainly start having a look at bringing the games to the west.
Here's hoping they do, or at the very least localise Cyber Sleuth when it gets released, that game tickles my fancy in all the right ways.
GamingLives' writer, Keegan, laments on how his passion for Japanese games is hindered by only two things - he has no idea what's being said, and region locking.
"Case in point? Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode. A remake of the first ever Digimon game for the 3DS, there are (for the moment, at least) no plans to localise the game anywhere but Japan. For those of us who would love to get our hands on it, this is nothing less than a tragedy. I’m not the only one to think that way, as the rather large petition known as oprainfall proves. With well over 16,000 signatures, it proves there is an enormous demand for the game, and though the publishers, Namco Bandai, are “extremely impressed” by that demand, there are still no plans for those of us not in possession of a Japanese 3DS to get our hands on it."

"Namco Bandai Games have officially acknowledged us: some of their PR and community managers from both European and American branch expressed an interest in our campaign by replying to our tweets or by sending emails in answer to some of our supporters."
