This didn't go well, OP deleted.

Please lock, if someone else wants to post the news go ahead, since it won't be duplicate.

Wii music and Animal crossing were not good to the "hardcore" also wii music was bundled with nouthing and Animal crossing is just a remake of the ds which was a remake of a GC game which was a remake of a N64 game. (wow lots of remakes) NSMBwii is actually a "hardcore" game which means its going to sell and wii fit is bundled with somthing now look at why it failed the last 2 from last year

You're making it hard not to.

The NoA localization thing, first off, isn't NoA's call, and secondly isn't over games that were going to do well anyway, except for Fatal Frame IV, and that was an issue of a quality-control dispute between Nintendo and Tecmo

Who said it's not NoA's decision? Last I heard they were responsible for Mother 3 not getting released here.

Also, Wii games that didn't get released in the USA, even if they are "too niche" they are favouring a region over the other:

Disaster: Day of Crisis
Fatal Frame 4
Captain Rainbow
Trace Memory R
Takt of Magic
Eyeshield 21
TV Show King
NPC Chibi Robo
NPC Pikmin 2
Multiple Wii Channels
Multiple WiiWare and VC Games

Wii games in the USA not found in Japan:

ExciteBots

Games announced for Japan, but not for America:

Dynamic Slash
Kensax
Cosmic Walker
Span Smasher (Was at E3, but Nintendo said they weren't sure it was coming)
Line Attack Hero's (Same as above)
Monado (Same as above)
100 English Lessons (Don't say anything, since there's no 100 Japanese Lessons coming here)
Everyone's the Star at NHK (No everyone's the star at Fox or WBTV)

Games announce for America but not Japan:

Rock N' Roll Climber (WiiWare)


Then you have the insane amount of DS games that never made it here. Last gen was a lot better in terms of localization. This gen it's either they don't have enough resources, don't want to take risks or simply don't need to bring half of their games here.

Nintendo's in a position where they can't win with people like you ... If they release enough games on their own to fully drive hardware sales they are monopolizing the market and hurting third party publishers, and if they leave room for third party publishers to be successful they aren't doing enough to please their customers.

If they are making the profit they are off of every Wii sale, would it not be better to wait until after the holiday season for a price cut? Nintendo will still be selling a ton of Wii's during that time.

Really? I had heard it was the creator's fault, that Itoi himself lobbied against it.

It's gone back and forth, but right now the consensus is that NCL has the deciding power.

Yep. Nintendo oversestimated the want for those two games. This coming year will be a 180 from this year thus far.

As for price cut, I bet we'll see the black Wii's by October.

what a surprise tres tres bitching like a troll about Nintendo

I think NSMBWii has more selling power than Super Mario Galaxy. 3D mario games are still a bit intimidating to a lot of the casual audience. NSMBWii has casual-friendly family fun written all over it AND it's going to rake in the hardcore because it's the first console-based 2D Mario title in ages.

I heard that Wii fit Plus was going to sell at half the price of a normal game unbundled. If that's true, then I think it will pick up a lot of custom from the original Wii Fit purchasers.
