In a Q&A session, CEO Yoichi Wada disclosed that they are in fact “considering” an overseas release. They still have yet to determine which regions to export the game to, but he did say that they are looking at a possible 2010 release, most likely for the next fiscal year.

Look forward to it, fans.
