If we cancel our pre-orders for Skyward Sword, would it make Nintendo of America reconsider not localizing Xenoblade, the Last Story, and Pandora's Tower? Their update did not confirm that they won't localize them, but it seems highly likely that they won't localize them. Would do you guys think?

Here some Xenoblad and The Last Story music for this thread. (Finally embed it)

LOL. have you seen the hype for SS?

No one is going to cancel pre-orders. That is a day one game!

There are still people out there who want to play Zelda regardless if those games get localized or not. But in theory it probably wouldn't work because Nintendo has no reason to see how Zelda ties in with those other games anyways. The way I look at it, is a lose/lose situation. Basically if nobody buys the game Nintendo will say, "Oh, well if nobody is buying Zelda, then who would buy the lesser known Xenoblade. If we do buy Zelda then Nintendo expects that to happen anyway and still won't localize."

Zelda's looking hot man! I'm sorry, but as much as I would like the other games there is no way I'm missing out on a day one Zelda purchase.

If getting Xenoblade to the top spot on Aamazon didn't get their attention, neither will canceling pre-orders for Skyward Sword.

I don't think Gamestop goes running to Nintendo to report every fluctuation in preorders. Does it?

[edit:  nice music though]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

If they've made up their mind, they probably aren't going to change it.

Nintendo would notice if enough people do it, it's one of their flag ship titles after all.

I don't know if Gamestop does that, but they do order the units from Nintendo to meet their pre-order. If the pre-order goes down, I'm assuming they would cancel their shipment from Nintendo if enough people cancel their pre-orders. For example, a million total pre-orders to a 500,000  total pre-orders the next week would warrant a cancellation of their shipment from Nintendo, but that's a huge decrease. Maybe I should look this up if I have time later. 

And I agree the music is nice. It's too bad I couldn't embed it with the html codes I'm finding from Google within the last half an hour. Nevermind, i got it to embed! Yay, learn something new today!
