Cool I guess, but what about Zangeki and Tales of Graces Nintendo??

Now that you mention it, Nintendo is now helping Tecmo Koei with Samurai Warriors 3, but what the hell happened with Fatal Frame IV!?

 

NoA not releasing Disaster doesn't make any sense. I mean, it's already localized!

Didn't Reggie say that the writing and dialogue sucked though, or something to that extent. I think they'd redo the localization with that one if they were to ever release it, otherwise they'd see tiny sales like in the EU.

 

It probably needs fixing in more than just localization though.

Uh, it's cheesy as hell but that's part of the game

If they fixed the car controls in an American release then I would probably buy the game again. Those were close to broken.

 I used the wii whell from mario kart and they worked really well. i especially loved  the volcano car bit

Seems a bridge too far to me. Nintendo doing it as a gesture to third parties and nothing else. If the game couldn't even hit it off in it's home country, why should it here? Making Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest popular in the West will be a challenge, making Samurai Warriors popular will be a whole lot more difficult.

I could not agree more.

And I'll add that I find it personally frustrating to see Nintendo expend resources promoting games like this when there are so many Nintendo-published games that they aren't bothering to localize for the West. I'd much rather see Another Code: R, The Last Window or Zangeki make it over than another generic Koei action game.

This.

Looks like Nintendo is trying too hard to convince 3rd party devs, but it's not working. Why help them instead of helping their own games? Let the 3rd party devs swallow their own failures if they don't want to put any effort. Look what Nintendo got for helping Capcom with MH3, a MHP3 announcement a month before MH3 is released.

A month before it's released in the West, though, where i'll bet Tri will handily outperform Portable 3, given the PSP is more or less DOA in the west, especially for software sales and especially for something like Monster Hunter. In the West, Portable 3 is going to be a blip on the radar, whereas Tri actually means something

 

So it isn't as cruel. If they had announced Portable 3 a month before the Japanese release, that would have been ruinous, but not beneath Capcom (announcing RE4 PS2 before RE4 GC came out)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
