Yeah... some dev's really make doubtful decisions, like Bamdai with releasing/developing Graces F for Wii.. and now, they dont even publish the original version, but the PS3 version instead. still, there should be enough Wii-Owners to embrace this game, tho' i get the point in not buying it, since it does not only look like a Wii title (a damn good looking wii title still!), but this more often than not also affects gameplay. (or so people might THINK) @WRPG: yeah, Xeno is probably one of the few the the westernization worked, simply because they didnt westernize it, but make an Open-Worlded JRPG instead. |
They didn't have a choice- Monolith is owned by Nintendo. Xenoblade is a first/second-party title. And it would never have got GOTY, however, it has had nominations in the EU, beating out Skyward Sword for best Wii game in some places, winning the overall GOTY in others, and narrowly missing out in more. No doubt when it's released in America it'll be even bigger!
However, the previous comment pretty much nailed it. It's nice to have a lot of free-roaming in JRPG's, something which has been cut out of recent JRPG's, sadly.
