People who love obscure video games now have another ally on their side. Rising Star Games, which brought games like Contact, Little King’s Story, Rune Factory, Harvest Moon and Bit.Trip Saga to Europe, is now going to be publishing games in North America as well. It just opened an office in California.

It’s a wonderful thing when video game companies are willing to listen and work with their fans, and the latest news from Rising Star Games is particularly heartwarming. See, in Europe Rising Star Games is releasing the Wii game Fragile Dreams: Ruins of the Moon. The company was going to only release it in english, until DSWii.es asked if it would be possible to put together a Spanish translation of the game with the help of volunteers.

And so, a great endeavor began. 50 DSWii.es fans have begun working with Rising Star on a Spanish translation of Fragile Dreams: Ruins of the Moon! The 35,000 word script has been handed over to the fans, and once the fans have completed the Spanish translation and localization Rising Star will use that to release an official translation.

There’s no word yet on when this remarkable feat will be accomplished. However, Rising Star has stated that once it has been finished, the translation will be released as a free, digital download through the company’s website…

Siliconera has discovered an interesting tidbit from checking ESRB information. Apparently Atlus is going to be bringing Steal Princess an action-RPG/puzzle game where the goal is to get out of a room in a certain amount of time, to the US. Steal Princess: Touzoku Oujo originally was released in Japan on July 24, 2008, and has already been confirmed for a European release, courtesy of Rising Star Games. It looks like the US won’t get left out after all.

Steal Princess stars Anis, that brown haired girl with the eye-patch on the cover. She’s a master thief who, at the beginning of the game, is trying to steal an evil lord’s treasure. She fails, but word gets around that she actually made it out of the castle alive. The royal family then calls Anis for an audience, tells her that the prince is held captive in the castle she was trying to rob and asks for her assistance. She agrees, and so players spend most of the adventure working through different areas until they are skilled enough to make another attempt at stealing the treasure and rescuing the prince…
