If this is real, Gamestop's perception among gamers is probably going to change dramatically - ESPECIALLY if they consider doing things like this for similarly-stuck overseas import games.

Thank you, Nintendo!
This was great news to wake up to. I had held off on importing mostly due to not having a huge amount of disposable income at the moment, but now I know that I can just get the game in the US and pop it into my Wii. This and Type 0 confirmation have made this an awesome week.

Maybe it will have GS exclusive content?

Other than "an overseas version is being worked on", no.

Nothing specific, just mention from the game director in an interview that his team is currently working on the overseas version of the game.\
EDIT: Beaten, not fast enough

Also, no joke - you people better buy the SHIT out of this game.
If they went out of their way to do this, and it still bombs, you know how companies are going to think of the result.
Fucking BUY IT.

Nothing's official just yet. For all we know, the GS exclusive part could mean some bonus of some sort.

That belongs to Lost Odyssey, but second place isn't that bad. Also, there are tons of rpgs this gen, but mostly on handhelds.

So, it finally came through! Amazing.
Yeah. Otherwise, I'm kinda in shock Nintendo would agree to actual retail exclusivity.

Frak! Gods damn it, now I have to buy a Wii again!
It could be an exclusive at the store. Wasn't Chibi Robo: Park Patrol a Wal-Mart exclusive?

the praise alone on GAF has me hyped for this game. shit, I don't even own a Wii. Does anyone think the console will be $99 by the time this gets a NA release?

U.S. GAF is given the hero it deserves!
Some awesome tracks to celebrate this occasion:

Man, I hope the same team will do the music for their next game. But Takahashi made the ACE+ girl cry, so maybe not... :lol:

Such a silly concept. I bought the first Chibi Robo but not many people did. A niche game on the Gamecube with a sequel on the DS that is only sold at Wal-Mart where essentially no gamer buys their games? The comparison is not valid.
Yeah, Nintendo made Chibi Robo an exclusive for that retailer. It's pathetic excuse for choosing Walmart was how the game has an environmental theme and Wal-Mart is known for its "strong environmental program and social giving campaign."
So basically NOA's releasing the game but making it a dick move by limiting it only to GameStop. Nice one, Reggie. What's your beef with Monolith Soft anyway?

Xenoblade is trending on Twitter right now. This is insane.

This is good news.
My favorite track in the game, probably best battle theme music of the last decade. 1:00 is when it really kicks in.
You Will Know Our Names
And then they'll use it as a basis for not bringing over any of their other grand scale RPGs. The same thing they did with Chibi-Robo 3.
Yeah, that is true (about the handhelds part), though a lot of major franchises from the PS1 and PS2 era have had basically little to no representation this gen, Wild Arms, Grandia, Shadow Hearts, SMT, Suikoden, etc.

Electroplankton was a GameStop exclusive in Canada, and Nintendo.com store exclusive in the US.

Wish there was an easy way to convert my save in the PAL version to the US version :/

That doesn't affect the game disc from slipping gently into the hungry slit of an unmodded Wii and basking us in the warm glow of greatness.
Without spoiling too much, the bulk of the game (only played like 60 hours so far) is actually more of a revenge plot than anything else.

Only 25 hours in but this track is my favorite thus far. What happens the first time you hear it actually shocked me... something that I wasn't expecting after being a jaded JRPGer for 25+ years.

amazing area spoiler trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/usermovies/344433
I think there was a much larger one that really showed off all areas if someone has a link I'd be grateful.
