IntelliHeath said:I am pretty new with NoA and Localization.
Can anyone give me complete list of games that NOA decided to not bring to America.
I am aware of The Last Window, The Last Story and Xenoblade.
Ulairi said:NoA under Reggie brought over Baten Kaitos Orgins so I would hope they'd bring over the 3rd title. If not, heads will roll!
I just can't stand the static scenes with character drawings. If it's WiiU it should be decent looking enough.Solune said:Why would you ditch the most visually appealing part of the games?
Alrus said:I'm not getting my hopes up. BKO bombed horribly and there's no way Nintendo is gonna fork money for a sequel.
And even if it gets made, we wouldn't get it here. Europe didn't get Origins and it sold like 10k copies in the US.
Just for the record, of these gamesEffect said:I admit it's hard to tell at times if it's NoA deciding themselves not to bring things over or if it's NCL saying no but for the purpose of this situation lets put the blame on NoA.
Soma Bringer (DS)
Disaster: Day of Crisis (Wii) (Bad or not people weren't given a chance. Japan, Europe, and Australia got this. This certainly suggest I think that Xenoblade isn't coming over to NA.)
Fatal Frame 4 (Wii)
Solatorobo (DS) (not a Nintendo game but Nintendo is handling it in Europe with nothing coming from NoA regarding it)
Another Code: R A Journey into Lost Memories (DS)
Mother 3 (GBA)
Friend Collection (DS)
Pikmin 2 New Play Control (Wii)
Though Mother 3 and Friend Collection might be more NCL not even making them an option.

I'm still hurt about the lack of BK: O in Europe :'(ivysaur12 said:It's curious that Europe didn't get BKO, because I assumed the only reason that America got the game was with a mandate from NCL.
Ah understandable. I'm sure with what they've done for Xenoblade, BK3 would look incredible especially if moved to WiiU.Van Owen said:I just can't stand the static scenes with character drawings. If it's WiiU it should be decent looking enough.
Rightfully so. It's the best RPG on GameCube.Sadist said:I'm still hurt about the lack of BK: O in Europe :'(

I'll also only accept* a localization if done by 8-4.
*Not really but it's highly preferred

JJConrad said:Who exactly controls the franchise?
- The first game was published by Namco.
- The second game was announced by Namco, but then was later picked up by Nintendo.
- Nintendo didn't purchase Monolithsoft until about a year after BKO was released.
The battle system is slower, but just as interesting. The VA is bad, but other than that its an excellent game. If you liked Origins you should enjoy BK1 very much.Seda said:Having played and liked Origins...should I play the original? I hear its harder to get into
Europe never got Mario Super Sluggers either.wrowa said:However, Glory of Heracles, the Fossil Fighter games, Starfy DS and Excitebots were US exclusives.
Smart? Debatable. Good for North American MonolithSoft fans? Definitely not.kokujin said:Really, I didn't know that, smart move on Nintendo's part.
BK:O came out only 4 months after Reggie became President of NoA, and I doubt he had anything to do with the decision when he was VP of Sales and Marketing.Ulairi said:NoA under Reggie brought over Baten Kaitos Orgins so I would hope they'd bring over the 3rd title. If not, heads will roll!
