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.

 

I spoke to a guy from EEDAR at E3 this week about this topic because I'm a huge freakin' nerd and was hugely dissapointed by Ninty not talking about Xenoblade or TLS and he told me there's a lot more involved with the localization than I might think because the Wii is region locked.  Seems a lot has to be changed in the switch over from one regions's discs to another.  

Unfortunately this doesn't fix us not getting it, just thought you guys may be interested.
