The official US name is "War Tech: Senko no Rondo"??

How fucking lame. Senko no ronde literally means Dance of optical rotation, that would have made a cooler name.


War Tech? sounds like a game that's just begging to be a failure in sales. "Rondo" is technically the proper english character spelling instead instead of Ronde, but the deed's been done and I'm too used to it being spelled "Ronde".



And yes, if they make Cuilan a girl or a robot with no gender that will be lame.





Edit: For the record, this is still the best Xbox360 game so far IMO. However, just like any very good arcade style game stupid Americans won't appreciate it.

It's great to see that the game will be coming out in America...even with a lame ass name like "War Tech". I think I'll end up buying the game before I get my 360 so if it becomes rare, I won't miss out on owning a copy of it.

Expect it to go the way of the dinosaur, just like Ikaruga and Marvel vs Capcom 2. If people ever learn to appreciate it years down the road, I'm sure it will be a gem.

I'm glad this games gets released outside of Japan, let's see if it' comes to Europe. I don't care about the name "change" as long as the game is intact.

I didn't even know what this game was until I heard it was getting a US release.

Just don't really pay attention to Import stuff anymore, so...

Looks interesting though, so I'll be picking it up.

I don't think the average consumer is going to concern themselves with the spelling of Rondo/Ronde nor the meaning of the word/phrase.

I still think it beats "Mobile Light Force".
I'm just thankful this and Sylpheed are coming here.

war tech. lol

i realize theres pretty much no amount of marketing you can do to make it sell like halo, but tacking on a generic name is only going to make it worse.

reminds me of earth defense force.

I bet they're going to change Cuilan's gender. :oh_no:

I hope not. For the sake of your Avatar, they were nice enough to *not* change the gender for that one. Maybe they'll be just as nice and keep this one's gender similar.

Yup. Then I'm going to end up ordering it and I'll have it before I get the system. I just want to make sure I get this and a good Arcade stick before I get a 360. Don't think I'll have to worry much about getting a copy of Virtua Fighter 5, I'll just pick that up when I get my system.

earth defence force is a translation of the japanese name, not a tacked on one.

this game aint as all cracked up as it suppose to be..the game gets kinda boring quick via single player..the boss is extremely challenging but its a fresh new genre for the 360 so i support it..worth 40..not 60..the online play is half way decent ..thats if you dont midn getting p'wned by japanese players

"Dance of optical rotation" would have been a horrible name IMO.

And if you want to see funny title translations, just look at how are most USA movies titled in Spain :loco:

The PAL cover is pretty close to this... just that everything is blue.
