Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's Facebook bombarded with Xenoblade/The Last Story/Pandora's Tower comments

Come on people, Fight The Power!!!!!!!

Right, I'll do it...

EU please Nintendo! :)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I made several comment already on the facebook page, and my friend is sending letter from my to Reggie (I am not in the US)... I read this on kotaku, has anybody seen this elsewhere or is just fake?

I sent Nintendo of America the following e-mail about a week ago:

Hello,

I was curious if the games Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower were going to see a North American localisation/release? I would love to play all of these without having to learn Japanese!

Thank you,
Smash Bro

And received the following a few days later:

Hello Smash Bro,

Thanks for contacting us. According to our information, Xenoblade has been officially announced for release here in the Americas. It will be titled, Monado: Beginning of the World. However, it hasn't been given a release date yet. When it is, our website's Game Guide ([www.nintendo.com] will be the best place to find it. Once there, use the questions on the left to filter based on system, genre, online play, etc.

When you have narrowed your search, click on the game's title to see all the available information. If what you seek is not yet available, please check back later. When there is new information to share on announced games or other upcoming products, our website is the best official source!

Remember, any posted release dates are estimates and subject to change. As a product's estimated release date approaches, you may wish to check with your local retailers to see when it may be available in your area.

As for Pandora's Tower and The Last Story, so far, there hasn't been an official announcement of a release in this market.

While I’m unable to offer a specific reason regarding these titles, there are many reasons that Nintendo or any other publisher may decide to release a game in one market, but not another. These can include difficulty or cost of localization, the size and financial strength of the publisher, the size of the distribution network, and (most often) the idea that the game will simply not be accepted or enjoyed in another market.

However, there are (like you) real fans of those games or franchises in this market who would love nothing more than to see these games on store shelves here. I understand (and sometimes even share) your frustration! Having said that, please understand that those fans may constitute too small a portion of the gaming public to justify the costs associated with bringing a game here.

Of course, you never know what the future holds, as evidenced by the appearance in this market of previously Japan-only franchises like Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. Keep an eye on our website ([www.nintendo.com)] for all the latest news as it becomes available.

Sincerely,
Alain Dao
Nintendo of America Inc.

I'm from Europe so I'm in a better position (just yesterday even pandora was leaked to release here). But great work americans, you're giving all Nintendo fans an help, they need to understand releasing everything there is the only way to win in the modern gens...and as you say, Wii has little to no games, so why not localize them? Come on Reggie!

I just sent another email... While I know this may not change anything, I feel good of doing everything I can...

THANK YOU!

If this works, I can see this happening quite often when a game doesn't look like it isn't going to be localised for a certain region.




Anyone from Europe want to start one for Trauma Team? There's never enough games :)

What else are we missing?

Btw, if anyone wants to call Nintendo to inquire about these games, their corporate HQ number is 1-800-633-3236.

Haha, you can bother them at their HQ?

I've asked a friend to send my comment, as I'm not on Facebook...

"There is no reason not to localize those games in North America given that they already are Europe-bound and the localization work you need to do is barely there... the Wii is a console loved by its fans, and on its way out with Skyward Sword being its last American fanfare, which is pretty lonely and sad. Give us two more reasons to celebrate with The Last Story and Xenoblade!"

Don't have a Wii, but those games certainly would be nice... 'cuz I'm gonna get one.



I really hope something comes out of all this pestering... I want The Last Story and Xenoblade



I hope this persuades them to release it, at least we're certain to get xenoblade in EU.
