Yes,because Nintendo is just ooooh so reliable with localizing games. Remember how quickly Nintendo brought Last Story, Pandora's Tower, and Xenoblade over? Wasn't Captain Rainbow awesome? And those Fatal Frame games? Day of Disaster? And don't forget how quickly they gave Earthbound fans what they wanted when they localized Mother 3! Seriously, comments like these crack me up...if anything, Nintendo is worse then SEGA when it comes to localization. Getting Xenoblade out of them was like pulling teeth. We had to rely on other publishers for LS and PT, and a fan translation for Mother 3. We will NEVER get the other gams I listed. And the real kicker? Pretty much all of these games were localized in NoE, and NoA STILL wouldn't bring them over. I can assure you, if SEGA had Mario, Zelda and Metroid, they would have absolutely NO problem bringing them over. |
So you bring up the only black spot on Nintendo´s localization west (operation rainfall), disregard that those games made it over to america (I´m a European, Ididn´t have to wait for the games as long as the US) on the dead Wii (yes the Wii was dead by 2012)
...ignore that Nintendo pushes niche japanese games like Fire Emblem : Awakening and SMT IV (30$ if you register SMT IV and FE:A), has already confirmed that SMT X FE will be published around the world, they handle the Western distribution and localization of Bravely Default !
...and Mother 3 ? Earthbound was a commercial failure, Mother 2 came out in 2006 in Japan on the GBA, we would be looking at a 2007 release for the GBA in the West !!
Calling Nintendo worse than SEGA when it comes to localizations is downright insulting !
