I'm tempted about doing a list of games that didn't make it and arent gonna make it. NoA has some power, because there's no way NoE can get more games out when America is a bigger market. In fact the biggest market. Those saying that Disaster is niche are delusional people. It's an action game that if properly advertised could have sold well enough. NoA doesn't want to take a risk anymore. And I believe they don't want to ruin the image of Nintendo because many people would go against them if they ever released a game with ratings higher than E. FF4, Disaster, Captain Rainbow are all T or M games. NoA doesnt publish T games anymore. And then games like Endless Ocean 2, Trace Memory R and all the Japanese conference games are also too niche to come here.
What we will see from them is mostly Mario, Zelda, Wii Series, sequels to past franchises and GC ports. New IP's, T or M games, Japanese oriented games or smaller games arent gonna make it here. That's really arrogant from their part, seeing that majority of their 1st party games sold the best on America. They are too conservative and also very rude with their fans. It would hurt bringing a game that's already translated to USA English. I wonder how many games they are going to release these year. Last year it was 8 new games (4 in the first half), so far none and only 2 announce for the first half. 4 new games this year would be infuriating.
