Yea, there's a couple of those that I've seen.
It's just the massive work of translating the game, adding voices, and whatever else that has to be done is probably too much for Namco to do.
In addition, there is also no character database in the game, meaning people over here in the US will have no way of knowing who some of the obscure characters are (they'd have to dig through the net). Games like Super Robot Wars offers a whole database on all the characters you get / fight - it's quite nice. One of the main problems noted was that "many characters are unfamiliar to the Playstation era of gamers".
It's also been noted that this game is very easy, although long, and the characters come in pairs that can never be changed. Ryu and Ken will always be together, same with Felicia and King. That kind of kills it for me right there.
I would have liked to have seen newer characters such as Viewtiful Joe, but Namco mostly stuck to lesser known people, espically for their games.
Also, Famitsu wasn't very kind to this game - all the evidence is leading to Namco not bringing it out over here. All the characters having their theme music is nice plus, though.
Namco's goals for this in Japan were 500,000 I believe... it's only sold roughly 87,000 in it's first week, and sales generally go down from there. Plus, from browsing through GameFAQ's, it seems there are no hidden characters or levels... in Super Robot Wars Alpha, you can gain allies depending on who you defeat them with, and other conditions... no such thing in NxC.
I think I'll import it when it gets cheap.
