That Facebook post is getting depressing.

What are you talking about, exactly? Link for the ignorant?Bulzeeb said:
And I didn't know you could pre-order Monado. I think I may do that right now.
I hope this push from gamers works and that it doesn't go the way of Mother 3.

This is Nintendo's official Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/Nintendo
It's relatively new (opened in early June).
While Facebook users cannot actually post (share) anything on the page, they can comment on anything Nintendo posts on the page. Several of the the topics Nintendo posts are being flooded with comments on Xenobalde, The Last Story, etc...
The count is referring to number comments on Nintendo's latest post for Mario and Sonic 2012, none of which actually have anything to do with that game.

How the heck do I comment? I don't see the comment box! I must let my voice be heard.

No. Dedication will be doing that for everything Nintendo posts on their FB page for the next month or two.

If it worked for Namco, it might work for Nintendo, we'll see.
I just wish Nintendo had a forum we could bitch on, too.

I wonder if it would be effective if we got NoA's Twitter followers up to 150,000 with people asking about Xenoblade etc. It's worth a shot.

It's better this than the equally useful activity of sitting on one's hands and doing nothing.AniHawk said:

Pretty much. Logistically speaking, it seems much easier, at least from an outsider's perspective, to reverse this decision. Of course, if they do release it in North America, then get ready for a bunch of insufferable gloating from Nintendo about how Nintendo listens to and cares about their fans, even as they let other games languished, unlocalized.

I finally added a comment, myself. Took me forever to figure out you had to "Like" the page first. I only knew that because of the Soul Calibur V/Namco one.Bel Marduk said:Well the Facebook page has reached 1000 comments

Fan requests sure seemed like it helped to me.

Just a heads up, as of this morning Game.co.uk still hasn't opened pre-orders or ordering on the site, I have the page book marked and have created my account there so when orders do start and I expect that within the next month I can order quickly. I would encourage everyone else who's going to import to do the same. It will just save you a lot of time when that time comes and will probably mean you'll get a copy.
HOLY damn close to 1,100 comments when I looked a little while ago. Good! Reggie and NOA need to wake up to this, quit their backwards decisions, and bring out these games. What's remarkable is this is just ONE day's worth of comments. If this keeps up they're going to HAVE to address this and hopefully change their mind. I certainly voiced my opinion on there that's for sure. Even if it's already been said, as one of the comments on there said, it's worth it still to make your voiice heard. Tell them you're done with the crap, and let them know there is most certainly a market in the US for these games! I don't think the Tales campaign had this hard of a push in one day. The Tales and Yakuza campaigns are the only ones similar to this coming to mind.
This push is great, keep it up! They're going to have to deal with it soon if people keep pushing this...here's a few other things people can do to make a difference.
If you can afford to do so and have the time, actually call NOA directly and ask to speak to Reggie directly. If he doesn't andswer leave him a voice mail! Regardless of if you get to speak to him directly or get his voicemail, be civil..tell him what's on your mind..and that you will not put up with this any longer. Between having to talk to upset people and voicemails, he will HAVE to address this and re-think all of this. Here's their phone number:
(425) 882-2040..that's their DIRECT phone number not the toll free customer service one. That's probably the number you'll want to use. Note to Mods: I normally never post phone numbers for companies but in this one case I hope it will be ok since people should stand up and make their voices heard.
Also, if you can afford it I would even call Mr. Iwata in Japan directly, I've always liked Mr. Iwata and thought of him as a good guy. I have a feeling he's being left in the dark at least on some of what's going on at NOA. He needs to be informed about all of this..again be civil and courteous. This is Reggie's boss and it's time for him to do a complete job evaluation on Reggie, holding him accountable for the decisions he's made and actions he's taken. Personally, I believe Reggie's time at that company needs to end and Iwata needs to oversee NOA for the short term if not permanently. Here's their phone number:
+81-75-662-9600
I'm wanting to give people all the ideas I could think of that may make a difference because this decision to not bring these games is completely asinine especially when they're already in English and full voice overs. Hope this will be helpful to others!
