Wow, Nintendo fans turning on other Nintendo fans, what a site to behold.
This whole thing is just boring, this has practically been Nintendo's attitude this whole generation, the difference is that their line-up for the year is much worse than their line-up of recent years and they just don't give a shit. They want the 'hardcore', they want third party support and they want more games that don't involve some form of sports or dancing to sell at least half a million units, but they aren't willing to put any effort into getting any of these things, it's the same old story, all talk and no action.
The least they could do is let a competent publisher like Atlus to take charge and just reap any benefits that come from that relationship, but they'd rather let their userbase suffer a little more until the Skyward Sword releases. Hell, the Dreamcast had a much better last year and this was all while Sega was basically on the verge of disappearing.

Nobody is turning on anybody, sir. I think you need calm down. Nobody is suffering because they can't play video games.
There have always been games that were only released in Japan, and there will be more in the future. I don't see this as being the end of the world.

Like you say this has always happened, and to a bigger extent in Europe, but the situation here is that it involves America. The tides are turning, European market is becoming more relevant and is starting to get treated fairly. PAL is the new NTSC. There are still many games that don't show up in our shops, and localizations takes months to years; but then it's us, not US. The game will come down the line sometime, people are just impatient and Nintendo doesn't disclose their release schedule enough.
Obviously in an ideal world, global releases should be the norm.
