They probably don't want the stigma of a "bad" game following them, especially a hardcore game like this, and IIRC Fatal Frane IV didn't release in NA for the same reason. If the game gets good reviews then they may reconsider.

It isn't like Xenoblade where the game got a 92 on Metacritic as well as several awards, and Reggie flat out wouldn't acknowledge the game's existence until several months after Operation Rainfall when the game got an extremely hampered and limited release in NA. Believe me, they have learned from that.

The game being "niche" isn't the problem either. Look at the marketing for Bayonetta 2 and the fact that Fatal Frame is releasing in NA as proof.

like yeah as someone pointed out in this thread eariler this no matter what would of been a loss for NoA cause while the Wii U does have a small library and could really use more games. bad games on the other hand though stick out like a major sore thumb in such a small library and if they had released it chances are it would of bombed harder then wonderful 101.
