At this point, it's no secret that the game has sold rather poorly, which would lead one to believe that the game has a small chance of coming stateside. Strangely though, an email from a Nintendo customer representative may indicate otherwise...
Monolith Soft revealed a plethora of details regarding future games. As could be surmised based on sales charts, Disaster: Day of Crisis has not sold very well at all. Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami has stated that the game is "performing lower than expected."

Yet believe it or not the game still has no release date in North America and the latest news is a strong indication that the game may never arrive in North American shores...

It's not typically an encouraging sign when a company hides their game from the press.

"Disaster: Day of Crisis is still in development," a Nintendo of America representative told Sports Legends on Monday. Unfortunately, the representative would not comment on a tentative release date or when Nintendo might divulge further information.
Yesterday brought the news that Nintendo's oft-delayed 2nd party title Disaster: Day of Crisis, under development by Monolith, had been given a classification by Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) ratings board. This has helped to renew hopes that the game will actually see release, since it seems likely that the board would only be asked to review and classify the game if it were on the verge of completion.
The OLFC have taken Nintendo's upcoming Disaster project and slapped a rating for it in Australian shores.
