I'm in full rage mode now. These were the only two games I was looking foward too. Now I'll need to reconsider Wii U if NoA will not properly support it like they apparently won't do with their current system.

Does NoA still have time to announce more titles? Knowing how secretive they are, I still don't understand why they're not doing these localizations...

Xenoblade is out in September, but no word on The Last Story aside from rumours.

Quote time. sorry 'bout that.

Why Japan? Don't want to play wait three(?) moths to play it in English? Anyway, firmware version doesn't matter. Got Brawl and a normal SD card? You're sorted (check the GWHT wiki link at the end of my qutoe-o-rama).RurouniZel said:I KNEW I should have bought a used Wii when I was in Japan.
You can't get your Xenoblade now. September maybe. For importing games I'd suggest game.co.uk. £4.95 per order delivery which is 3-6 business days and expect the game to be about £40 (if it makes you feel better just think we have to pay this sort of money everytime). Its not up for pre-order yet as retailers tend to add most Nintendo published games about 3 weeks before release unless its a big one, for some reason.M-PG71C said:
Okay if you were Nintendo why would you choose not to announce it? NOA must know its a big subject of debate.Kaijima said:
Theres games called June 16th and Holiday coming out. OTs now!! Sarcasm aside the OP is terribly formatted the TBAs refer Mario Party 9 and Rhythm Paradise.Zwei said:
But its going to cost like $70 instead of $50 and $20 "free" Amazon money I have spend in 2 weeks.FTH said:
Bother. I opted out of importing that to support an English release just like I did Shadow Dragon (I have no qualms playing Fire Emblem in Japanese as I've played it more in that language than English), looks like I'll have to import sometime and now that its a won't come out play-asia will price it sky high and/or all the copies will be eaten as soon as it goes on offer. Oh and since I'm Europe were we didn't get Fossil Fighters 1...yeah so probably no to that too. A dark day for my DS. Then again Shadow Dragon and the fanbase completely kind of killed my inclination to play the games ever againlunchwithyuzo said:
See what I said above. Also, its not a steelbook but a double sided-reversible cover. Which is still nice (I prefer that steelbooks which tend to be destroyed too easily in the postRPGCrazied said:

Not sure what you mean about the fanbase, but Shadow Dragon is the least enjoyable FE game I've played. It's not bad, and it's a great strategy game, it's just so bare bones that it's tough to play after the Wii and GCN games.Starwolf_UK said:Bother.

I'd still like them to release FE3r over here, but I don't think there's any chance of that at this point.
Doing so may sidestep NoA's nonsense, but companies like Atlus tend to favour the American market. No-one wins with region locking, regardless of which side of the pond you're on. You'll likely still be grumbling if you buy a PAL machine, only with a different crowd.MoogPaul said:

I'm taking your advice. Will be homebrewing a Wii later this week. Shame it's come to this but such is life.Alextended said:
Anyone want to recommend a quality site I should be looking at to import Xenoblade Chronicles from Europe as close to its overseas launch as possible?
I think the last Euro-only release I picked up was Tales of Eternia on the PSP but at least I didn't have to jump through any hoops to get that to play.
I'm at least happy with the strong 3DS software lineup going forward.

Nintendo didn't even clarify that their new console had a console in their presentation
This conference was what it was, which to say, a mess.By the same turn, a few E3s ago Nintendo didn't even announce Smash Bros Brawl at their press briefing - they waited until a roundtable a day later. What could be more controversial than the existence or denial of a Smash Bros. entry?

You can get a Japanese copy of Soma Bringer and a flashcart to play your translated dump for the same price it would retail for here. At least you could a few months back.Brettison said:Failtastic Nintendo...
One of the biggest things that has pissed me off about Nintendo over the past few years is the number of quality Wii and DS titles that never make it out of Japan. FFS I'm still waiting on Soma Bringer.
Seems like a lot of shit I'd easily want to buy never makes it to.
Been out for a while now, no idea what you are "waiting" for.

Yeah.Lard said:
By the way, does PlayAsia sell import Wiis?
Although I'm pissed off at NoA right now, it's not the end of the world. So I won't import just for two games.
But IF Dragon Quest X is announced for Europe and not America, than I'll import for sure.

You'll feel a lot better once you give up hope. I know I do, but I gave up hope over a month ago.ninj4junpei said:Must not give up hope.
