You are right. You survived the N64 and you survived the Gamecube. If your doom and gloom bear gloomy, doomy fruit then you will, ultimately, still play plenty of games you enjoy, even if you lament the lack of 2D Mario.

Yeah, Miyamot0 was me @ trolling and waiting for Khuutra bash

But I'm rightly pissed at Reggie, dunno if Iwata is involved, they pissed me at their awful Q2 line-up, but me ok, they'll fill it with Japan Games.
Now this... I'm too freaking mad.

lol

Malstrom's advice to us:

Email: Operation Rainfall: What should Nintendo fans do?

Hi Malstrom! Since you understand very well how Nintendo directors thinks, would you like to give an advise for all those Nintendo fans out there trying to make the company localize Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower?

What they shouldn’t do is make a blog. I tried that. It doesn’t work.

This one finally broke my back. NOA seems to be doing all in its power to piss me off with these lack of localizations. First no Zangeki, then Fatal Frame 4, then Tales of Graces, then Last Story and Xenoblade. I'm sorry, but if freakin FRAGILE and SIN AND PUNISHMENT 2 can come out in America, there is NO reason whatsoever that Xenoblade shouldn't be.

I agree with Reggie and Miyamoto, but how does Iwata only care about himself. 

I think the blame should be on Reggie. He's the one running NoA. He decides what's to bring over.

I agree, we have to have find a way to blackmail him until we get all the games we want...

Ignoring the Malstromisms and BAAAWWWing, I still think this is a pretty bad move by NoA for the following reasons:

1: Just a few weeks ago, they announce a console that is supposed to be for everyone: Nintendo will now care about third parties and care about its "gamer" audience (which, I might add, is a pretty large part of the Wii's audience anyway). In light of this, not printing up the perhaps 150~200K copies they could effortlessly sell of (at least two of) the most awaited games released in the past year-and-a-half or so is a pretty bad signal of intent, not only to the people actually waiting to buy these games, but to the people who are suspicious about Nintendo's attitudes towards what they want their console to be.

2: Reason number one also shows another thing: that Nintendo is still very, very bad at, or at least disinterested in, communicating. I do not think that is an advantage in the long run.

Compare  localization effort of Last Story or Xenoblade which are rpg with tons of dialogue lines to Mario game or Wii something. Then compare sales expectations for those two.

*sigh*
Oh Nintendo. You make no freaking sense.

Oh well, I will be getting a PAL Wii anyway... so these games, I will get.
