Do you have any idea what leads a game to possibly become localized? Is it just whatever they can get or do certain factors play a role?

I know that certain localizers do surveys among their customers. If there's a game that's heavily in demand, and they can negotiate the rights to redistribute it, then it's obviously in their best interest to pick it up. Another factor can be pre-existing relationships, such as JAST has with Empress, and MangaGamer has with Clockup. And if a popular game has a sequel, it's a no-brainer that they'll be interested in that too.
