Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The TRUTH on how Nintendo games get localized (+surprise coming)

Well it could be the Nintendo Conference games like Cosmic Walker or Dynamic Slash. Or even Tact of Magic.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

I don't care one bit unless the word "Mother" is involved.



Where are those who told me NCL made all the calls? Oh wait, they will not even dare to come here.

Now we know that if a game doesn't make it here it's not because NCL prohibited it, but rather than a joint decision. Sorry, but NoA isn't something to be proud of.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I never did, I said NoA had as much say as NCL, then people told me that why even blame NoA when NCL made all the calls, and made paragraphs to tell me how much of a troll and hater I was.

I just wanted to take this off my chest, so people can realize how wrong they are sometimes. I still blame NoA for the most part since they are the ones who decide if a game that could have made it here never makes it. In other words if NCL didn't oppose and gave them the chance to release it, then NoA probably said no. Like Disaster for example which was already translated in USA English.

I could make a list of games that made it in Japan and not in the USA and it would be quite large. But I guess I would still be wrong, like always, even when evidence pints out at me being right about Nintendo, I will always be a hater no matter what.
