Do you know if American sb can play Japanese created games with the Namco licence?
Or do you have to "own" the Namco licence to even play the Namco games?
Hopefully one day we can get them here (and in Europe too. I'm more excited for the euro release than the Namco licence. Because I will be able to actually play the games created by Europeans.)
Now,"Namco IP Catalogue" is Japanese custermized 3DS and Petit Computer 3D only.
If foreign(Except Japan) users download programns with Namco IP,they can't download and run.Uploaded programs with Namco IP in foreign country are deleted on server.
To enjoy Namco IP for foreign users,
1.Go to Japan
2.Buy 3DS and set Japanese custmerize
3.Make,download and run in Japan.
As Kouyama said, the IP Catalog assets are not available outside of Japan, and attempting to download a program which uses them from an outside copy will not work.
Basically, Namco says "you can use our characters and IP (in SB programs) for a small price (and the receiver must have a license for those assets as well), but this licensing is only valid in Japan"
