Nario Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 you know what it means when nintendo says 'no plans for release at this time'it means 'no plans for release at this time' They said the same for Mother 3. And Fatal Frame IV. And now Xenoblade. In Nintendo terms, they're really saying 'no plans to ever localize'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NoA terms anyway. EU is getting it, which if you have a region-free Wii then it isn't a huge problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legendary Zoltan Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 I agree with British voice actors. All they need to do is change the format of the disc to play in American Wiis so I don't see why they don't just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 SNES would like to have a word with you. the SNES has three Final Fantasies, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger everything else is shit He's backed up by his supporters GBA and DS. the GBA has two Golden Suns that are technically the same game, Mother 3 and Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire the DS has Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light, Dragon Quest IX, Pokemon Black/White, Radiant Historia and Golden Sun 3 keep in mind, here, that I said good jrpgs, which on their own are few and far between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleck Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 They said the same for Mother 3. Mother 3's localization would have required an unfathomable amount of legal action to make sure that all of the copyrighted things in the game didn't end up costing Nintendo millions of dollars in legal damages from a business perspective it really just wasn't worth the effort or money And Fatal Frame IV. this game didn't even sell very well in Japan, of course they aren't going to waste time localizing it for a market that it'll probably do even less well in In Nintendo terms, they're really saying 'no plans to ever localize'. you mean like when they said they had no plans to bring over the black Wii systems or the Classic Controller Pro basically the thing here is that; a) there are 'no plans' until they decide to have plans, so bitching and whining about this is a waste of time because they haven't really directly confirmed anything either way Nintendo is one of many companies that is starting to realize that, despite what you may believe, North America is not really the most profitable market for jRPGs (because they tend to be pretty shitty by North American standards) the thing about jRPGs is that as a rule they are uh not really that good; every really good jRPG that someone can think of is strong because of things that have nothing to do with it being an RPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XZero Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 mind-blowing spoilers: [aside from the music, mario rpg isn't very good] I'm not trying to debate the game's merits, but I'm just curious: you really don't think so? I know the music is awesome any way you look at it, and maybe I can't take off my nostalgia goggles, but I really liked it. In the interest of full disclosure, it was the first RPG I played through to completion that didn't have the word "Pokemon" in the title, so it holds a special place in my heart. It was also the game that really got me into RPGs in the first place. Oh, and you forgot Mario & Luigi 3 when you listed good DS RPGs on the last page (I know, I know. Your response is "No I didn't.") On the topic of Xenoblade, isn't there some E3-like event coming up in August that Nintendo regularly attends? Stupidity/optimism suggests to me that they realistically have through that event to announce a North American release of the game if they're going to put it out here at all. If they decide against it, I can understand from a business perspective, but it still is somewhat of a middle finger to the fans. I've blindly bought every Nintendo console and handheld except for Virtual Boy all my life. After the giant slaps in the face of the 3DS "launch window," Nintendo's refusal to localize 3 major RPGs, and the fact that the Wii won't likely have a good game in 2011's entirety except for Zelda and maybe Kirby, I'm really considering waiting on a Wii U and sticking with my PS3 for a while instead. If the company really doesn't give a shit about its older (or otherwise non-blue ocean) fans, I don't see much of a reason to give a shit about that company. Years ago I never would have predicted myself saying this, but I really wish Nintendo would just get out of the console business and start putting its games on PS3 and Xbox. Their biggest highlights are their games, and it'd be great if they could put more emphasis on those and less on ridiculous "innovative" control schemes. Video games are about the games, and denying fans the games without at least the courtesy of an adequate explanation is honestly sort of rude.

Video games are about the games, and denying fans the games without at least the courtesy of an adequate explanation is honestly sort of rude. As long as Nintendo can break serious bank(and this generation has proven that's definitely the case), then they're going to stay in the console business. The problem as I see it is that they got complacent with the profits that the Wii and their "Blue Ocean" strategy made for them, and aren't as inclined to take "huge" risks anymore unless they can be generally sure they'll break numbers that are probably unrealistic for certain properties(like JRPGs) no matter how you look at it. They're a lot like Activision in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If they released these 3 games, and promoted them properly, I definitely think that they would move a lot of copies. Xenoblade is one of the reasons I got a Wii (again) to begin with, just like how when the PS3 launched a bunch of people bought Ps3s just for the idea that there could potentially be a ff7 remake. Oh and that ff7 tech demo.. The Last Story too, that was a selling point for me... I will hold out hope that they are localized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
