aw man they didn't get the greatest WarioWare game of all time? And you can't even emulate that one!

Pretty sure Smooth Moves came to Europe

Miyamoto: [cats] are kind of like girls. If they come and talk to you it's great. But if you try to talk to them it doesn't always go so well

In all fairness, Twisted had a pretty decent reason for not coming to Europe.

That said, I had no idea Europeans were so well off with Nintendo games. Now if only that would happen with other companies.

Also, yes, Biolizard, you are correct. Largely because Doshin the Giant is kinda bad.

Just when you think you're out of it and a decision is final, so just move forward...BAM! Even more rumors.

I'll believe it when I see it.

But I'd love to see it.

I don't want to boycott Nintendo. ;_;

Now this is entertainment!

why not say something like Fire Emblem 3 DS and not a game that's already coming out here!

I really doubt that rumor. if nintendo were already finalizing a NTSC version of xenoblade, they wouldn't have phrased that facebook message that way. that has been a PR nightmare for them

They explicitly said "never say never". It was a glorified maybe, as it has always been.

Hell, maybe the decision was brand new. The EU release went from announcement before any localisation work had been done, to being ready for release in just a few months.

The guy who made that message got fired. So yeah.

At least two people have been fired as a result of OP rainfall

Good to see Nintendo's response to this isn't "maybe there is a demand here...", but instead "someone needs to lose their livelyhood over all this noise".

Yeah, when an employee makes such a colossal eff up, they're out. It's pretty standard across all companies that have reputations to maintain, y'know.

--

It's only a colossal F up if they actually did have plans, if they told him to put something up to break the news to us gently well...what did they expect? Aside from lying(again), there was no way that announcement wasn't going to be met with rage.

--
I desperately want to be a part of the B8 hierarchy-BlAcK TuRtLe

The NoE guy I do understand though seeing as he obviously broke his non-disclosure agreement...several times. Though while I understand the forced retirement there, it makes me think even worse of Nintendo that they wanted to sweep the game under the rug without ever actually telling us that it had been canned.

Which they obviously did. So he dun goofed and lost his job for it. Not hard to understand.

Unconfirmed, I'll believe it when I see it. For now we have two confirmations that the game isn't coming to America from official sources and one rumor that it is from an unidentified source. How can you say it's "obvious"?

--
I desperately want to be a part of the B8 hierarchy-BlAcK TuRtLe

Because the confirmations were partially debunked and never straight up "it isn't coming". So I'm assuming that yes, NoA called NoJ and worked out the details for the localization, as it is the most logical thing given the circumstances.

--

Where were they debunked?

I'm not saying the game won't be released in NA, just from everything I've seen I don't think Nintendo has indicated that yet at all.

wait, you mean the one who made Nintendo's facebook/twitter post about the whole deal?

interesting. I knew about the NoE guy "retiring" but not this.

Anyone have a source for the guy being fired? I only heard about the NoE guy.

at least that sounds a bit more reliable than the one Vesperia guy 'confirming' he had recorded new lines for a PS3 version
