XSEED is definitely joining ranks with Atlus and Ignition in bringing some of the most unique and desired obscure games to North America. It’s just announced the games it will be bringing to E3 2009, and it’s an impressive list of nine games.

In fact, XSEED seems to be using E3 as a means to announce some greatly expected games. For example, we now know the rumor about the company localizing the PSP version of Lunar is true, and Half-Minute Hero and Fragile are on the way too.

XSEED’s E3 game list is as follow, and it’s showing the Wii and DS lots of love:
