In May of this year, Japan based publisher Marvelous, best known for its work on the Harvest Moon series, announced that it would be partnering with LA-based XSeed to establish a co-publishing presence in the U.S., starting with PSP RPG Valhalla Knights 2.
XSeed is now owned by Japanese company AQ Interactive, and consists of Square Enix veterans - XSeed's published titles including Wild Arms 5 and Shadow Hearts: From the New World in North America.
Following the agreement, the two studios also announced that they would be bringing Marvelous' Wii-exclusive action/RPG Little King Story to the U.S. for the holiday season.
To find out more about Marvelous's future plans for the states, Gamasutra talked with Harvest Moon creator and Marvelous managing director Yasuhiro Wada.
