Forums - Nintendo - Games that never made it to the USA (Wii 1st party edition)

trestres on 20 July 2011

Just because I'm bored and due to the recent failure of the so called "operation rainfall", I'm gonna make a list of games published by Nintendo that never saw the light in the USA or aren't planned for a release there.

  • Eyeshield 21
  • Wii Chess
  • Yakuman Wii
  • Disaster: Day of Crisis
  • Everyone's Common Knowledge Television
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad!
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!
  • Fatal Frame 4
  • Captain Rainbow
  • New Play Control! Pikmin 2
  • New Play Control! Chibi Robo
  • Another Code: R
  • Takt of Magic
  • Line Attack Heroes
  • Everyone's the Star on the NHK Red-and-White Quiz Battle
  • Zangeki No Reginleiv
  • Kensax
  • Xenoblade
  • The Last Story
  • Pandora's Tower
  • Fatal Frame 2 Remake

Meanwhile NCL keeps on localizing 3rd party games in Japan like Goldeney, Just Dance 2, Epic Mickey, etc.


Now games that were only published in the USA by Nintendo and never left

  • Excitebots
  • Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident

 

Are they ever going to make it here? Which ones do you think have the most chances? Which ones do you want the most? Do you hate NoA as much as I do (impossible)

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Xenoblade and The Last Story are coming to the US. NOA has had trademark and legal issues with them for months which is why they've been held up.

Why is this the first time I'm hearing that? I would have thought the people from operation failfall would have mentioned that. Or perhaps NoA on their facebook. Don't blame me if I have a hard time believing that.

xenoblade, the last story, reginleiv, fatal frame IV, another code R are quality titles, which is what the Wii needs.

I want Captain Rainbow. Everything else is just boring.

I'd only buy Line Attack Heroes from that list. Takt of Magic and Zangeki No Reginleiv sounded interesting back then, but I don't know how those games turned out. And from Fatal Frame... I prefer a Wii U version now, offscreen ghosts!

I get it you are not really into RPGs or action games then :O

Plus, what's the point of waiting for another FF that will never make it here ;)

When I first heard of Captain Rainbow I remember wanting to play it so bad, but I know that one would have a hard time hear. There are several titles there I would want to play especially the RPGs but in reality I probably would only buy one of the RPGs at full price and would end up waiting for the rest at a bargain bin. If buying New control play pikmin 2 would have gotten me pikmin 3 then I would have gotten that but other no since I already have the GC version
