I wouldn't mind it to be postponed for America too if that meant it's gonna be perfect. I want SNES Yoshi's Island quality on this one, and its quite logical to expect that standard to take some time.

That's only the case if you don't play western games - I know you acknowledged that, but for Western tastes America is a pretty great place to be. Hell, even for Nintendo fans. You can argue that Europe gets more, but they never buy anything.

True, that's why I always found it weird that NoA localized less games than NoE, considering it's only 1 language to localize in the US, while in Europe they have to translate everything multiple times and one of them is english.

One good thing for Latin Americans this generation is that they are translating most games to spanish, making a good use of the european translations and sometimes even making a american spanish translation. I usually rather play them in english because it helps me to improve my skills and I don't need to trust the translators' efficiency, which is not excellent in many cases but mostly just plain good.

Is this just speculation or...?

Speculation, but i would say the likelihood is higher than not. If NoE did Disaster, NoE will do this.

I see. Well, if NoE releases Reginliev then waiting for Kirby wouldn't feel as painful.

woo still 2010 for me!

I was just going to say that. US games also have English, Spanish and French in their releases (I've imported to be greeted with a Spanish title screen :P). And translating doesn't take that much if you include it in the project lifetime. Of course if you want to make quick bucks and only translate it in one of them,k then I understand. But for big companies like Nintendo, they should look after all their markets equally, they have the money to do it.

Europe being shafted for Xenoblade, and now this?

Why NoE, Why???
