I don't see how this is any different then australia or europe missing out on plenty of games that get released in america only.
TDWP FTW said:Yet, when other games in different genres don't get localized to the US, but say Europe or other areas where the game will be in English, everyone just says "Oh, guess I have to pirated the Eur version." Why should a group of JRPGs get more attention that other games?
Not sure which titles you're referring to, but for the most part I hear those titles are generally rather meh. Also when the Wii is getting so few good games, it's kinda dumb to not localize some good games when they're already translated
And don't even say "Oh well buying it to support the devs blah blah blah" because you probably wouldn't anyways. If you REALLY want to play the game, you'll either import it, or pirate it, because guess what...That's the only choice you have.
If you import it that generally means you're supporting the devs if it's not used correct?
And I like how Nintendo is being put on the spot, because they're the publishers. What about other companies that don't localize games? Just because Nintendo is bigger, doesn't mean they should get more hate because they aren't giving into a bunch of fanboys whining and spamming their Facebook posts.
Pretty sure other companies get complained at as well.

Dick move Nintendo. It's not going to help you (you pulling a Namco?)

Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say “never,” but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!
Cool! Thanks for the tip, I will have to look into that.duffmmann said:Amiti said:Aren't some of these Wii titles? Wouldn't the be region locked already or can you play PAL games on a US Wii? I was sure that Japanese games don't work on a US Wii.

A softmodded wii can easily play imports from Japan, Europe, or Australia. All you have to do is if you're using the USB Loader, change the settings for video mode to "Force launch NTSC" once in a while you might have to change some other settings, but once you get it working, you save the settings and never have to toggle them again, I've got all sorts of great imports running on my wii (such as Fatal Frame 4).

I don't think very many people leave because of things like this. Plus, it's likely NoA's fault, not real Nintendo. Plus this isn't NoA's biggest mistake, I can think of some other NA excluded games that were wanted more.ShadowSoldier said:QUOTE said:We never say “never,”*GASP!

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...............
Seriously Nintendo? Biggest mistake ever. And you wonder why people leave you for your competitors platforms, because you pull dick moves like this.
What exactly happened? I saw the status by Nintendo and either everyone was commenting "FFFFFUUUUU!!!" or "What games?!?!" I didn't see any comments saying what games it was.Ikki said:I saw this a moment ago.
Dick move by Nintendo. Should've said "no" from the beginning.
You can even remove the region lock from the wii itself so that it can play imports with no need of laoders.duffmmann said:Amiti said:Aren't some of these Wii titles? Wouldn't the be region locked already or can you play PAL games on a US Wii? I was sure that Japanese games don't work on a US Wii.

Uh what? There's nothing to blame here EXCEPT Nintendo.
This is nothing but a kick in the balls to each and every one of their fans. It shows that no matter how much people want a game and no matter how much a game might sell, Nintendo refuses to give North American's the types of stellar games that JP/EU gets. Thus everybody in North America is still left with Shovelware with the exception of a rare gem, but those are too and far in between.

Uhh... you realize that EU get screwed over far more often than North America in terms of game releases. This is just a rare instance of it being the other way around, thats why its being made into such a big deal this time.
