Nintendo Directs - 22.02.2012

A few surprises, especially for Europe.
I'll probably import Pandora's Tower and Fatal Frame 2, now that I know I won't have to import TLS.

So what is left for NoA and NoE to do on Wii?
For the Americas: How about NPC Pikmin 2, Another Code, Disaster (surely XSEED would be willing to do this, with such little work involved, and now that we know they have a relationship with NoA). Anything else I've forgotten?
For Europe: How about ExciteBots, Trauma Team.. Are there other games that never left the US?

For both regions: More VC LOVE!! There are tons of games Japan got exclusively!
Also, if the following could be published outside Japan, please:
NPC Chibi Robo
Captain Rainbow
Fatal Frame 4
Rodea The Sky Soldier
Earth Seeker
DQX
Zangeki no Reginleiv (such a shame this doesn't get a chance at more love!!)
Tales of Graces (I know... just venting here...)

Honestly the best news for me is that Nintendo is broadening their view on business models for distribution: Partnering with 3rd parties and increasingly relying on online in order to get more types of games out to more people. Selling DLC for Fire Emblem may also be a part of this strategy as it gives them the opportunity for bigger return on investment, considering it's a franchise with not as many fans as the big ones.
Let's hope they keep improving at this!
