It's happening, Touhou is coming to the West.
Raikaria:
Curious.
Slightly curious as well as to how it took this long.

If anything, I hope this means that people will think twice before pirating the games, now that there's a way to legally purchase and download them.
With that said, I shall vote with my wallet as soon as the games are released. If enough people show their support, we might see some interesting things in the near future.
Also worth mentioning: What would an "official" translation look like? I remember coming across a thread claiming that it's possible that the current unofficial translations we're so used to might be "wrong". It's always interesting to see how things like this would work out...

I'd be totally okay with that. If they don't translate it we probably will.
Addendum: Whoever manages the front page should probably update it to include this breaking news.
Third Eye Lem:
The good What-If: Very strong possibility we'll get at least the Windows Touhou games stateside.
The also good What-If: BRYN4444 accepting Touhou characters into VGCW Women's Division if the series gains enough momentum in the US.
The bad What-If: A possibility ZUN uses the bad translations from one of the less-liked translators (you guys know whom I'm talking about), or the more "recent" ones where most of the humor was removed (IE: Mari/Ali's story from IN).
Regardless, I'm excited for this. Can't wait to see what becomes of the series now that it's spreading!

Well in the grand scheme of things buying it in the digital store is a lot easier than pirating.
Firestorm29:
Glad to see this is happening, trying to figure out if it's worth re-buying some titles if the old ones come about.
I'm also betting on translated enough to be playable, or there's some sort of way to import translations into the game. I think he might prefer the fans handling the translations.
