| Soriku said: NoA really are being idiotic about this game. Really can't believe NoE is one-upping them on this game. If this game doesn't come over then I'm going to import for sure but that's the worst case scenario I'd hope I don't want to do. There's no reason not to bring such a hyped RPG that's already localized by NoE but decide to bring over DQMJ2 instead (not saying it shouldn't come over though, just doesn't make sense not to bring out Xenoblade as well). Good luck bringing hardcore gamers over to the Wii U NoA if you're not even bringing over your best games. There's still time to wise up, but... Lots of people on other sites are complaining as well. |
I'm baffled why they don't localise as well
Surely given that text and voice translation has already been done they can essentially 'free ride' off NoE's efforts, most of the work has been done for them. They can publish it, incurring little costs and make a certain profit, even if the game sells very poorly. Americans will just have to put up with our strand of English in text and voices, that's all.
With DS games (such as Jam with the Band, Solatorobo, etc which NoE localised, but not NoA), I can partly understand as due to the fact that the DS is region free. One in the US can import from Europe and therefore could reduce US sales and therefore NoA's profit and incentive to localise. No such reason exists for a game like Xenoblade Chronicles which is on a region locked console.
