Former Working Designs head readies next project; "game-related news" expected this summer.

As the president of the now-defunct niche publisher Working Designs, Victor Ireland was prone to making headlines as much for his outspoken opinions as for his games. He's making headlines again as the Web site for his new project has surfaced, but there's little indication as to what exactly it has to do with games.
At the moment, Gaijinworks ("gaijin" is a Japanese term meaning "foreigner") contains nothing more than a gear-shaped logo and a webmaster e-mail address. Ireland told GameSpot that he should have "some game-related news" this summer, with the site going live in the late summer or early fall.
While there aren't any concrete details about exactly what Gaijinworks is or what it's working on, there are hints. Ireland said he would like to help bring Japanese Xbox 360 role-playing games to the US when he announced the death of Working Designs last year. On top of that, the meta tags (keywords that search engines look for on a site) on the Gaijinworks Web page include a number of telling terms, such as "japanese role-playing game," "xbox 360," "anime," "playstation," "import games," and "localization." They also include the phrases, "11 is over" and "one nation under games." |

I hope that Dragon Force re-release is still in the works. I also wonder how well they'll do against NIS, since they are sort of similar. |

Yeah, it was rereleased in Japan as part of the Sega Ages Collection, and it was supposed to be in translation sometime before Working Designs kicked the bucket. Still, it is a Sega title, so Sega could still port it if there was enough fan base. Who knows, Gaijinworks could still do it. |

It'd be cool if they could start by just bringing over all of the Sega Ages games. Some may not be too heavy hitting but that would give them a nice catalog to start with and I'm sure they could get them out at $20 each, especially with the PS3 launch coming. Compared to other (new) $20 games out they would be quality purchases.
But please no more Lunar. |

I really would like to play Dragon Force 2 without having to learn Japanese to understand it. |
