Nintendo should sell some strategic games regardless of sales. Xenoblade, Tales of Graces and The Last Story should have been among them. The fact that it didn't happen was a huge let down for me as a fan.


Tales of Graces is a NamDai game, nothing to do with Ninty, and besides it is being localized, just not the Wii version


That's true, but Nintendo could have picked up publishing rights to other regions if it wanted (and has with other games like Samurai Warriors 3, or NoE is doing with Go Vacation!)    If NoA wanted to maintain it's 'core' base, this would have been worthwhile.    I can't see even NoE doing this now that the PS3 version is coming out though.


Not necessarily. Namco would have to be willing to allow Nintendo to publish it. I'm pretty sure I recall an article in which a publisher, Ignition I think, was asked about Tales of Graces localization. They said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Namco wasn't interested."
