So i'm a Sony fan who has always also had Pokemon games for the handhelds ( I love pokemon!). I had a Wii at one point but there was a massive flood in my town a couple years ago and my Wii was destroyed and i just never got another one.

I feel kind of bad for missing out on some of the great Nintendo exclusives. Aaaanyway. With talk of the new consoles and handhelds I'm definitely going to go with both Sony and Nintendo to get my gaming fix :D. Microsoft never really appealed to me for lack of exclusives really.

This first thing i looked into was getting a 3DS for right now (Vita a bit later), but the only color i like so far has been Ice White. The problem is it isn't released here (NA). It bugs me because it's released in Japan and Europe and I'm jealous lol.

Then I read in this thread that the game might not make it here, and Mr. Khan said "this is NoA we're talking about"

So tell me all you Ninty fans, does NoA have a bad image? Do they normally trail far behind the other regions?

 

Basically, in the last couple of years, NoA doesn't exactly have the best record for localising games, especially RPGs.  For example:

 

Xenoblade Chronicles will see a NA release 8 months after we got it in Europe.  It's NA release will be exclusive to Gamestop as well

The Last Story will hit the US in the Summer (done by XSEED as well, not NoA), while it came out last month here in Europe

Pandora's Tower is coming soon to Europe, but no NA announcement

NoA hasn't released any of the Inazuma Eleven games, NoE did the first last year and the second soon

NoA didn't do Solatorobo and let someone else do it

Neither NoA or NoE localised the second DS FE remake (thought that was most likely due to the impending release of the 3DS)

NoE has confirmed a 2012 release for this game, but NoA are silent.

 

 

Make up your own mind, but I personally believe this FE game will get an NA release.  The £ is pretty weak at the moment, so you could take advantage of that and get a fairly cheap U.K 3DS if you want.

Ah i see, well thank you very much for the history lesson. I learned some new things and I really appreciate it. Yeah i'll think about getting a U.K 3DS. (Sucks they are region locked >_<) Thanks again friend!
