WOW this is really sad, even from a business standpoint it is very stupid. The localization wouldn't cost that much even if they wanted to take the "lazy" route and go Japanese with Eng subs. Even selling 100k + LTD it would be profitable, but I guess Ninty doesn't care about $$ unless it's shovelware or another Pokemon game. Honestly a huge dissapointment because even I would actually consider buying Xeno and LS to give to my best friend for his bday AND then borrow his Wii with both games.

Xenoblade and TLS are already being translated into English for the European release. All they have to do is to print and distribute about the amount they can expect to sell.

There is NO WAY Nintendo Of America can sell those games here using the british accent. They just can't.

Is it better to sell them with a different accent or to not sell them at all? English people are used to get NTSC translations, the opposite is acceptable too.
