I still can't believe that in the year 2011 we are sitting here screaming at the clouds in hopes that Nintendo might publish a well reviewed, in the process of being fully translated videogame in North America. Sometimes you have to wonder what the fuck is in the water over there in Redmond.

It's the easiest system to turn into a region free video game player, but it isn't naturally region free. All it takes to make it region free is a quick download, a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and 5 minutes of your time.

Still waiting...and waiting........and waiting............

Disaster Day of Crisis & Another Code R were released in Europe and never released here. (Although I imported both anyway so suck it NoA!)

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Another Code R has its fans. It's still a point & click though, not exactly a popular genre. I don't think anyone would disagree Disaster was dodgy though. Even if they enjoyed it. Also, someone mentioned there were some floods or whatever in the USA around that period so maybe they cancelled it for that reason? Idk how true that would be. I guess they could have released it by now anyway but now there's this Japan thing. I dunno how they decide such things. I think they just saw no potential.carlo6529 said:

You just described the last 30 years of my life as a gamer in Europe : endlessly waiting for games to be translated, or just ported to the pal format. I can't count the number of games I missed because I couldn't afford to import from the US, or the console was zoned. Somehow, it seems to have changed a little these last years...Shalashaska161 said:

It's not like the US hasn't missed out on some games which came out in Europe over the years though, as your avatar painfully reminded me.moozoom said:

The ratio is still in favor of the US, I think... All those missed PS1 and PS2 Rpg's made me cry at the time. But it's true that I was pleasantly surprised to see Another code and some other (niche) games released in europe. Pal-land is finally aknowledged as real market, despite the translations costs and there is a real hunger for different types of games here.
About Vib-ribbon, the sad part is that it was marketed as the next parappa, but it was too weird to catch on and sold very poorly. I bought several discounted copies as gifts to friends to try to spread the love but most didn't like it because of the visuals (which is the thing I love the most about it and the stupid voice of the rabbit, too).
Peter Dickson is working on Xenoblade, he says it's due out in Sept:

If this isn't at E3, NoA has lost their damn minds.

Holy shit Peter Dickson? That's hilarious.

If NA got The Last Story and EU got Xenoblade, I'd be fine with that. More than fine.

Is Xenoblade related to Xengears/Xenosaga?kiryogi said:
grandjedi6 said:
Maybe. NoE sourced some local actors for the Layton games but they still game to the US. I just can't see how NCL would ever approve a localisation for a game this huge and limit it solely to Europe. They've never done that before.

Well, I hated those, vehemently.kiryogi said:
Is there any reason I should to pay attention to his newest creation?

This could be one of those times where the subsidiaries go it alone and come up with their own versions, a la Another Code/Days of Ruin, but that would be a colossal waste of time and money on a project this big. We'll find out what the heck is going on at E3, I guess. Or maybe at their end of fiscal year briefing.

Higher res look at the game (no need to skip) but you may want to stop midway thru if you decide you want to play later on and you dont want to spoil anything else

Installing the Homebrew Channel doesn't actually modify important files so it's actually impossible to brick. And if you just use HBC to load GeckoOS to region-free boot, no further modifications are made. The only time you would have to worry about it is if you went on to use USB Loader.Amir0x said:no i'm not modding my console. I refuse to do it. I don't risk any shit that can brick my things. I did it for PSP and it got bricked once and never will risk it again
i don't care how easy it purportedly is
No, hopefully this will be too big to ignore. I'm not sure if you'll get any vibes because of it, but the main writer and planner of BKO, Koh Kojima, is the director and game designer of Xenoblade.sphinx said:
It depends, what did you hate and what do you look for in an RPG? Takahashi described how different Xenoblade is when Famitsu revealed the game:Princess Skittles said:
