Ascii Cancels Three

When Ascii's E3 lineup was revealed in mid-April, two games especially caught people's attention - RPG Maker and Fighter Maker. Unfortunately, videogames.com learned on Tuesday that these two games have been removed from the company's lineup. The reason is that the company had trouble in finding ways to localize (translate) the two games.

Also affected by the localization problems is Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, a third-person action title originally scheduled for release in the first quarter of 1999. It too is no longer on the schedule.

So if you were looking forward to these titles, guess you'll have to settle for the Japanese versions.
