I pressed Atlus about that at E3 and this is what they said...

Will do! But, I wouldn't count on it. Retailers are barely supporting the PS2 for mainstream games and a Summon Night title would be niche.

I'm still kind of hoping against hope someone will pick up SRW OG for PS2, but I suppose it's never going to happen now.

I don't think it's as easy for them to land Banpresto titles, so it probably wasn't worth pursuing direct ports with most of the VA removed. I hope they give Summon Night X a chance though.

Yeah, I guessed so. I'm just somewhat aquainted with DS/SNES hacking, not personally, any kind of programming related stuff is “very hard” to me, heh. But since you never read about any PS2 hacks, all translations you find for PS2 games are read-along-scripts and I read about all the different hacking difficulties for DS roms I figured PS2 hacking might be just way too hard. Pity though… there's way too many great PS2 games which are never gonna leave Japan, since the good old PS2 is nearing it's end. *sigh*

It's very hard.

Are you talking about the Swordcraft Story spinoff?

It's not a matter of 'moving on', I think it's more of a matter of the developing difficulty.

The Remakes of 1 + 2 for the DS and the new DS one, Summon Night X, are currently being fan translated. PS2 hacking is just not very popular – probably because it's not that easy?

Yeah I agree that Flight-Plan needs to at least get to porting their PS2 line-up to the Wii, it's an issue already discussed to death, but it's nonetheless still a thing that needs to be done.

Well hopefully that's next on Flight-Plan's roadmap, because jumping to HD development would not make much sense, especially for a 2D-focused dev like Flight-Plan, unless they want to say, start a game on Wii retail and port to XBLA and PSN? While too big for WiiWare, 2D games like the ones they make should fit whatever limits the other consoles have.

Just an idea.
