When I first heard of Captain Rainbow I remember wanting to play it so bad, but I know that one would have a hard time hear. There are several titles there I would want to play especially the RPGs but in reality I probably would only buy one of the RPGs at full price and would end up waiting for the rest at a bargain bin. If buying New control play pikmin 2 would have gotten me pikmin 3 then I would have gotten that but other no since I already have the GC version

So, let me get this straight, just in case I'm missing something. Are you justifying NoA's decision to leave all these games unlocalized?

I'd only buy Line Attack Heroes from that list. Takt of Magic and Zangeki No Reginleiv  sounded interesting back then, but I don't know how those games turned out. And from Fatal Frame... I prefer a Wii U version now, offscreen ghosts!

I get it you are not really into RPGs or action games then :O

Plus, what's the point of waiting for another FF that will never make it here ;)

Action games - which? But that's correct about RPGs, last one I played was DQIX due to the team customisation, shame I got bored of grinding halfway through.

And FF 4 the Wiin U >_<;.... "but, but, Nintendo said, they said, they wanted to reach everyone with the new console", that surely means FF on the west >_>

Xenoblade and The Last Story are coming to the US. NOA has had trademark and legal issues with them for months which is why they've been held up.

Why is this the first time I'm hearing that? I would have thought the people from operation failfall would have mentioned that. Or perhaps NoA on their facebook. Don't blame me if I have a hard time believing that.

Check it.

Issue date: 7/12/2011

Notice the dates.  They've been fighting to get the legal rights for The Last Story in the US for 1.5 years.

Oh well, that's really recent, no wonder no one's talked about it. Still I'd pretty much doubt it will come over, Disaster:DoC for instance was trademarked, had the websites registered, was even announced at E3, but got never released. But it's now more possible than before that we might end up seeing the game here, perhaps in 2012 or 2013.

What about xenoblade? I couldn't find that trademark anywhere. Not even by the name of Monado.

I knew about the filing for The Last Story last year.

As for Xenoblade, that one always had a greater chance of a US release since NOA was even touting it on their release schedules. They removed it because they wanted to better schedule it with The Last Story and since NOA wasn't sure when the USPTO was going to grant the trademark, they couldn't be sure when they could release Xenoblade.


Can't find Monado?

lot of great games, wtf is Nintendo doing

huge mistake: region-locked consoles

i thought Wii/Ds were family consoles, how many parents took gifts for their children from/to Europe and they were not working!?

also, games should have been released in English and Japanese on the same disk and region-free



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Stop defending Nintendo, can't you see it's all their fault?

You are in EU and have those games, so you don't know what it feels like to be backstabbed by Nintendo.
