I most likely worded that wrong.
I'm just saying that NISA should get the games as well, the anime could be used to advertise the games.
Also, how many people in the West would read a light novel with several volumes being 2000+ pages, I'm also not surprised at that. Besides LNs aren't very popular here especially in the US.

I was thinking about going to their Twitter as a back-up plan, given if Nintendo were to turn us down.

If NISA licenses the anime, they will need pressuring, they can't just grab the series and not localize the games, it would be strange and kind of in the realm of bad practice. It's not strange. That's like saying it's bad practise to licence and release an anime without thinking about or releasing the manga or light novel it was based on. That happens all the time. Fate/Zero costs hundreds of dollars for each boxset and yet the light novels it's based on... well it's as if they don't exist. The same with Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. That's releasing on Blu-ray in the US sometime and yet the novels are not even thought of. (Although to be honest, I'm not surprised considering the size of them: i.imgur.com/Cf6Ov.jpg)Also, Udon are translating and releasing the Valkyria Chronicles 3 artbook whilst the game itself hasn't even been released in the West. I'm sure there're plenty more examples. What your talking about is completely different from a "bad practice." Most of the companies in America license only the anime because they're an anime studio only. Every property Funimation released this past year started off as a Manga/novel or other form of book but Funimation only picked up the anime, because they're an animation only studio. If you want the multimedia goodies localized you need to turn to Viz Media or a company with a lot of cash or the willingness to give a huge percentage of their profits to the original copyright owner. And how do we know if those are official twitter accounts? There's a lot of role players on Twitter and Facebook when it comes to people like Reggie.

If you read my comment properly I was pointing out that it is not bad practise and is merely what (I think because I don't live there) happens in the US market; anime licensed without a care for the manga/games it was based on.

What? Focus, you wing nuts, This about the plans for our next comm mission, save NISA for our back-up plan. Also, it's not a given if they decide to localize the games with the anime. With luck, they might do both if we succeed with our aforementioned back-up plan.
