Talks with Capcom Japan over the matter have been continuing and things are looking “encouraging” and “optimistic,” which is good news considering earlier in the month it was reported that the game would not head to the US at all. While a DS release is out of the question, if it does head west, expect it to land on 3DS or if plausible, the eShop. Thanks, GoNintendo.
