I've doubted their effectiveness since the late 90s. Part of why I only give a crap about pre-ordering, bonus in that it's at least a little more commitment than signing a petition or making a Facebook comment entails.

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

lol, please. I know there's other factors involved too but please don't think the fan requests haven't helped.

okay now people just need to tell me when this game will come out in the UK I am all set to import

-1 sale for NOA is the best way to do it

September. Also less sales for NoA really is not the best way to do it...that just makes things worse.

I went ahead and pre-ordered a copy of Monado on Amazon. I see the comments also have hit 1,200. Gonna post something about this on my website and maybe that can help spread the word as well.

In this day and age you can't just ignore fans feedbacks, it's not like single emails or petitions. If 50,000 people flood your facebook page with comments you can't just ignore them, they aren't nobodies from the internet, they are people with names and surnames, the perception is pretty different.

I'm surprised its in the top 100 now. Heh, I wonder if Amazon is wondering why there's been a sudden surge in pre-orders for the game. I'm glad this whole campaign got started because I feel like I can finally do something. Whether it helps or not remains to be seen, but at least we can let them know we want the games to be released in English.

Well, there's more to it than that. The game is already being released in English, but seems to be snubbed for America.
On top of that, the campaign is to show Nintendo that there are still Wii Owners that would like certain types of games (particularly JRPG)

Definitely. Fortunately for me I own these games already, but I would easily pay for them again in English so that my wife can play them. She was drooling over Xenoblade while I was playing it and being able to play it in English would win Nintendo another fan. :)

Wow, Monado right now is:

#54 in Video Games
#1 in Video Games > Wii > Action
#6 in Video Games > Wii > All Games

Craziness!

The game is still climbing the charts :)

#33 in Video Games
#1 in Video Games > Wii > Action
#5 in Video Games > Wii > All Games

At this rate it will be the best selling game for the Wii tomorrow.

The whole movers & shakers chart shows a surprising tastefulness currently. :p

I doubt it'll do much for the cause, though.

I watched some videos of this game and the game is definitely not for me. The huge boring world with hours of walking just doesn't appeal to me. If games like GTA, Oblivion, or any free roaming game bores the living crap out of you, I suggest you reconsider. I mean, I'm sure people out there will enjoy it, but there might be some huge backlash if it's not that great of a game.

Don't order multiple copies if you're not going to buy them! This will work against it if the game has 100,000 pre-orders and 50,000 actual sales. Do it only if you intend to buy it. Don't do it out of support and then cancel the order.

I'm pretty sure Xenoblade rewards exploration in ways GTA can only dream of. And I guess it's obvious that if you don't like free roaming games you won't like this

The Amazon campaign is a brilliant idea.

During a massive poll earlier in the year Japanese gamers voted Xenoblade the best JRPG of this generation.

Nice work! Keep it going guys. I find it ridiculous that a company such as Nintendo would hold a game back when there's already a lot of people intending to play the game.

It's not really hours of walking. Xenoblade practically rewards you for doing anything, and there are tons of landmarks you can teleport back to at any time.

Think of it more like FFXII than GTA or Oblivion.

Oh, I'm sure there are people out there who enjoys this game, but the style seems geared towards a very specific group. If everyone loves the game when it comes out in the rest of the world and votes it their RPG of the generation, that would be fine as well. I will probably give it a chance by renting it if it does come out.

Got a couple of questions about this game..

1. What is the difficulty like? is it something you can blow through without thinking?

2. How long is it?

3. Is there a new game+ or any post game content?

KEEP IT GOING! If we get it to the top, they can't ignore that. Even NoA should realize that.

It's pretty amazing how this seems to be going so far. I just hope, should Nintendo listen and actually release this in NA, that people will be prepared to turn their energy used attracting NoA's attention, into recommending the game, keeping word of mouth going, essentially doing the job NoA probably won't do, even if it does get released, ie, promoting it!
