Board 8 > Further Xenoblade news, this time impressive as hell

(+) Yeah! (+)

Looks like I'm importing then, at least I can get the CCP. NoA can go f*** themselves though.

Wow, NoA.

To import you have to have a foreign console right? Or can the game work on a US console? I don't want to derail the thread, so if someone can PM me I would appreciate it.

Don't worry, you also don't have to ask where to score some hookers and blow, because I'm way ahead of you.

And I really don't think there's anything the fans can do at this point besides continue spamming the Facebook wall to no avail.

Honestly at this point I wouldn't even import the game because that would give Nintendo my money anyways

dammit nintendo this is the worst

Seriously baffling on the part of Nintendo. While a full effort could lead to a big success, would it be THAT difficult to just directly bring over the European translation? If you're worried about it bombing, just print 30,000 copies or whatever.

god dammit NoA is pathetic

Well, I'll probably have to get it now. Hopefully it's as good as everyone says.

Really though, this is like opposite day or something. How much could it cost to bring this to America? They're really not getting people hyped for the Wii U by doing stuff like this.

Yeah, I would prefer to just buy a copy instead of having to go through the hassle of homebrewing it up but it seems like the only way to play the games now. Man.

NoE deserves your money for giving us a chance to experience these in English at all. It's NoA being the dumbasses.

--

NoE deserves the money because THEY are listening to their fans and bringing out the game. Xenoblade not selling well would just make Nintendo of America go "See? We shouldn't bother with these."

Black Turtle won the Guru Contest.

Yeah, because "Mystery Case Files - The Malgrave Incident" will surely sell well.

--
Congratulations Black Turtle, for having the least wrecked bracket out of the Gurus.

Sure feels good to be European.

That said, NoA, what the hell? Seriously, quite literally the entire rest of the world is getting this game. And getting good treatment for it! So why exclude America despite the support? That is just dumb.

For Americans who still want the game, it comes out on September 2nd. I highly recommed you import the game (imports have convinced publishers to localise games before). Also, continue with Operation Rainfall, why give up? Might as well keep going and see if they change their mind

--
Something something something

It would take significantly less effort for me to mod my Wii and import the game than it would for me to bother trying to convince NoA of something.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

it's funny how NoA plays Xenoblade off as something that would sell like trash, but on the flipside, NoE has been promoting it like hell since they announced it.

--

Are there any good sites for importing? And what's the general shipping and customs cost and the like?

this. I'll still import the game and play it anyway, but now I'll be buying skyward sword used, even though gamestop will probably sell it at like $5 off full price. normally I always try to get new games because I'm paranoid about scratches but I'll definitely make an exception for SS or any future nintendo title(not that there are any more coming for the wii and there's no chance in hell I'm buying the U now)

Or you could import Skyward Sword from Europe since they're going for a simultaneous global release. And import any Wii game for that matter.

that...is brilliant. I may actually consider this even though it'll probably cost like twice as much lmao

NoA is literally the laughing stock of nintendo globally

Honestly, I feel their pain. I too had a precious game taken away by greedy American wings of video game companies.

After AE, I'm never buying another Capcom title ever again. They screwed me out of AAI2, and I'll screw them out of a paying customer.
