I think we're on different wavelegths here. You said that Last Story was originally a 360 project and that Microsoft would not have refused it if Mistwalker went to them, and I want to know where you got that idea from. My point about Cry On is meant to show to you that Microsoft and Mistwalker's relationship is essentially over, which is why Nintendo funded (you know, gave them the money to create) their next project, which eventually became The Last Story. Mistwalker is just a design house. they couldn't have started development on anything unless they had funding/publishers.

Saying it's his fault... without much evidence. Isn't really a good thing.

I'd prefer them let Xseed do it because they do a better job localizing anyways imo. Not that this is gonna happen.

even (especially) if these games are planned for release in America, this is still a major screw-up in terms of public relations. A simple Yes or No would have done wonders to appease and inform the fans. They would either have something to look forward to, or get over their disappointment and move on..

Instead, Reggie has been quoted saying there are 'amazing Wii games' we don't know about yet right around the corner. He has done this more than once this year alone, and in each occasion nothing came out of it... For many people E3 was going to be the last straw, and that's understandable.

Nobody expects games to materialize from thin air, and fans - despite their occasional bickering - know just as well as anybody that quality takes time. In that respect, even something like Iwata's announcement of Smash Bros., while disappointing to many, was at least made in earnest and with good intentions, and after the dust settled on E3 could be appreciated as such.

But when Reggie says: "there are games coming before E3" when nothing could be further from the truth, somebody owes an explanation. Was there a game that saw unexpected delays? If so, tell us... Maybe something happened related to the earthquake in Japan? Fine, we're all human, we'll understand.. But throwing out baseless statements only to pretend they never happened later down the line is the sort of thing I'd expect from Sony during their darker hours, and even they know to expect a ton of crap for those kinds of turnarounds.

Your Missing my point still.

"If it wasn't for Nintendo, we wouldn't even have The Last Story right"

This is a False statement, Nintendo funded and puublished the Idea but concept was developed by By Mistwalker

The Last Story could have been published by anybody, but it was Nintendo in this choice. If they had taken the idea to nintendo and they said no and then they took it too.. Konami and they said yes..well theres last story published and funded by Konami

regardless of who published the game the concept still xxist so to say if it wasnt  for _________  this game would of xxisted is not always true.

I guess you post assumes the nintendo blessed them with concept and without nintendo concept would never have xxisted

I definitely agree with you. The way this entire issue has been handled by the NoA suits leaves a lot to be desired. It's not like there's a full schedule of Wii games next year, so why not give us something to look forward to if the games are, in fact, scheduled to be released? It seems like they think they can take the fans for granted since they're an obvious minority. They'd never do this for a bigger title.

I think you have to stop assuming that I think Nintendo created the concept. You've mentioned that a couple of times, and I never said anything of the sort.

As for what I said, it was poorly worded now that I read it over, but I never meant to say that no other company besides Nintendo would pick up the game, I was specifically responding to the idea that Microsoft would have been a better publisher than Nintendo. If Sakaguchi went to Microsoft with the premise for The Last Story, he wouldn't have gotten funding, just like he didn't get it for Cry On before moving on to AQ Interactive. Another company may have published his idea if Nintendo declined, but we'd just be speculating there.

I would like Reggie kicked out of NoA IF it is proven that it was 100% Reggie's fault that Disaster didn't get localized. If they have a more legit reason (like Fatal Frame's bugs), then I would like for him to stay, just keep away from the localization dept. . 

I disagree with you for several reasons. 

1. Monolith Soft is one of a few Nintendo studios that can make a legitimate mature game. 

2. Monolith's games bring diversity to Nintendo's lineup

3. Other then Square Enix, what publisher would treat them any better? 

I agree with you on TLS.

Hirinobu Sakagucji is well known well respected figure in the Japanese Industry. You dont think that Atlus, Akyss games, NISA exct would have localized  a JRPG from a big name?  They would be like flies on shit to have that oppurtunity. Hell Xseed wanted badly to localize Tales they wanted so bad to have there name on a big scale JRPG probaly the biggest they ever had...just think Hirinobu sakaguchi!

I going to tell you right now: Not Only would all JRPG developers with ability publish localize TLS... The West Would Also have both Xeno and TLS  by now thats a fact. I gaurentee you.

I doubt Reggie has any authority on these matters, the decision is probabily made in Japan when the first months sales come in. the problem is even if they get rid of Reggie, he'll be replaced by someone else anyway. and Reggie isnt that bad imo.

OT, even if NoA localise and publish this on the Wii, i doubt the Wii has the right fanbase for this sort of game. i suppose Nintendo will correct that with the Wii U, and they will possiblily have a chance to make these games a lot more successful than they would on the Wii.

That line is referring to funding a big budget JRPG, not localizing it. You're right that companies would line up to localize if Nintendo let them, just like companies would line up to localize Tales, Ni No Kuni, etc if the parent company allowed them. Would companies line up to fund Sakaguchi's projects these days? I'm not so sure.
