Agetec used to publish games like Magic Pengel (pictured), but aside from Way of the Samurai 3 the publisher hasn’t been very active. Seems like they’re jumping into DSiWare with Paul’s Shooting Adventure.

Recently, an ESRB listing confirmed that the game is being localized by Agetec.

Pick up Way of the Samurai 3 at Gamestop and you get a digital artbook and strategy guide.

A key feature of the Way of the Samurai games is choice. Do you stab everyone in your way or avoid altercations with diplomacy? Publishers Agetec and UFO Interactive had a decision to make too – how to market the game in North America.

Way of the Samurai 3 has two publishing paths. We contacted UFO and Agetec to tell us about the agreement and what the North American version of Way of the Samurai 3 will be like.

Spike drafted a unique publishing deal to bring Way of the Samurai 3 to North America. Agetec and UFO Interactive will publish the game in North America.

Look, Bubble Bobble Plus has always been on track for an international release. An ESRB leak (thanks Justin!) just reaffirms Bub is coming to our shores sometime in the future.   Also found on the ESRB is a rating for Silver Star Chess, a WiiWare chess game published by Electronic Arts in Japan. Agetec, who [...]

The doors are wide open for PlayStation 2 publishers. We’re seeing all kinds of games thought to stay in Japan only like Shining Dragon. Women’s Volleyball, which is coming out from Agetec in August, is one of them. This might be the first time most of you have seen the game, but it is a [...]

Yesterday, we saw Agetec listed LOL for sale “online only.” LOL will be “hard to find.” When I asked Hiro Fukuoka, the Producer of LOL at Agetec, he candidly confirmed there is a limited supply of LOL for North America. I’m still surprised we’re getting any localized copies.   What is LOL? Let’s skip to [...]

I was wondering how Agetec planned on distributing LOL (aka Archime DS). Since the game requires other people to play, LOL didn’t strike me as a title retailers were lining up to place orders for. My guess was it would be a Gamestop exclusive. Chris over from Cosmos Gaming  (thanks for the tip!!) discovered LOL’s [...]

Agetec sent an e-mail officially announcing LOL, a localized version of a Skip published game Archime DS. Skip created Chibi-Robo and the cheerful, but woefully lost in translation (read: never been localized) Giftpia. LOL sticks to Skip’s light hearted tone and it challenges players to write humorous responses to each other via local wireless play. [...]

Once the home for Armored Core, Agetec has been branching out in new directions. Recently, they built a relationship with Ivolgamus, a Lithuanian developer behind Fading Shadows. On top of publishing the orb rolling game on the PSP, the ESRB suggests Agetec is releasing Falling Stars too.   Falling Stars puts players in control of [...]

While were on the subject of quirky puzzle games it’s a good time to mention Fading Shadows. Chris over at Cosmos Gaming (thanks for doing a better job watching Agetec than me!) discovered they picked up the rights to publish Fading Shadows in North America. I mentioned this game before when it was only confirmed [...]

Sometime last year Sega Europe developed and published Touch Darts, a Nintendo DS title where players “throw” darts with the touch screen. Since the game was already in a familiar language (read: English) it seemed like a no brainer that Sega USA would publish it in North America in the future. Heavens no! Instead of [...]
