Nintendo of Europe Hears RPG Fans' Pleas

[Onyx Oblivion]

Now watch them bomb and scare Nintendo away from doing this again because of people waiting for a "price drop" months later.

While it's smart to wait for the consumer response, I'd still say that with Nintendo of Europe doing all the translating for them, it wouldn't be that costly to bring them to the US right now. Still, as a European, I'll take any chance I get gloating over you Americans with your $60 dollar games. Here they cost well over $100..

You forgot to mention they usually get delayed releases and that's if they release at all. I'll take any chance to gloat and if I hear any Americans complains, I ATTACK. They get more than enough. They don't get to complain.

I actually edited that in right before you posted this
I think that's a little extreme though, everybody should get to enjoy these games.

It would be extreme if the reverse wasn't happening in abudance. Just recently, Catherine. Gets great reviews, great sales, gamers love it, then you read about, you run to the stores to buy and... oh wait what's that, you live in Europe? Well, fuck you, you don't get the game. And I find it ridiculous that it's ALWAYS Americans who complain... Like they don't get enough already.

3DS is too expensive at 250$! While here it released for 270?...

Bah. My Wii needs some action. It's been in a dry spell since DKCR. Oh, sure, it still gets the occasional replay disc, maybe partly out of pity, partly out of how comfortable it once was, and it has a kind of disc-buddy relationship with SSBB, when they're both around and not playing with anyone else, but it could use some new action. Skyward Sword in November? But nothing until then, eh? Alright, emulators it is, these older games need some playin' too.

Eeh, I may be wrong here but didn't we get Catherine just a few days ago, or will in a week or so?
I agree that Europe usually get's fucked over and that that sucks, but two wrongs don't make a right.

 

[kebab4you]

How much extra work would it be to just take the europe english version and release it in US(serious question)?

Also won't be buying it just for the simple fact I do not own a Wii <.<

 

[night_chrono]

So because I haven't bothered to look into anything unofficial in regards to the Wii I fail as a person? Well, thanks for that, I guess, but you may want to consider for a moment that people are *gasp* different and that not everyone has the same priorities and interests that you do. You may be able to guess, but I don't even know what the Homebrew channel even is. Guess it's something to look into, though.

You do realize that by saying "Seriously" at the start of a sentence, that means the previous one was in jest right?

As far as I know a publisher was announced and the game is slated for release in late October. It's fantastic for an Atlus title only to wait 3 months (Demon's Souls took 9 months, that's a nice and long wait huh?), but still. And yeah, you're probably right about two wrongs not making a right, but I'm just pissed about all the shit I've had to endure as a European gamer over the years and it almost brings a tear to my eye to hear we're actually getting something that the US is missing. I guess I'm just like that.

To be honest, I could care less about these particular games (not because of the games themselves, mostly because I don't have a Wii), so I'm mostly happy about Europe in general.

 

[Josh123914]

Oh come on Nintendo, if you're gonna give Europe those games why not just bite the bullet and let us give you our money.

now you know what it's like, we had to wait 17 years for Super Mario RPG, now let's see how it's like when the shoes on the other foot, failing that, you could always import.

 

[Littaly]

Huh, it seems Europe is getting shafted less and less these days. Shame America has to take over the short end instead :-/

 

[moseythepirate]

I find it strangely disconcerting that the North American and European people are deciding to stand at odds to each other. It isn't about NA gamers being entitled whiners and Europe being long suffering. It's about the company having business practices that the consumers consider unfair (whether that's true or not isn't the point; the companies success is based on how it is perceived, not how it actually performs). Gamers on both sides of the Atlantic need to fight for each other.

Take this case, for instance. Europe would benefit from having more people demanding fairer treatment, and America would benefit from sales of the Rainfall trio making localization more likely.

Bottom line: we're in this together, guys.

Shhhhhhhhh, just a little longer, I'm bathing in the tears of American JRPG fans...

Ok, all done.

Ahem.

You bastards! How dare you treat Europe with fairness for a goddamnded change!

 

[ryo02]

Yes Europe totally gets banged...big time when it comes to this kind of stuff so sure it is about time for NA to get its fair share of action but thats just not the way we roll. NOA can bite my shiny metal ass for not releasing anything other than re(...)releases of games just about the whole gamer world owns 5 times over already. At this point I don't think giving it a release would even win me back. NOA you broke my heart so now my wallet is closed. I say good day to you!

You can't see it, but I'm laughing my arse off right now.

No really, it's great to see the US get screwed by game publishers for a change.

Wow, being an European gamer actually has it advantages for once.

true you rarely even here about it when Europe gets screwed over America speak up next time the Pal region gets shafted and maybe your region wont get shafted next. also Earth Seeker please no one but japan got that one T_T.

 

[teebeeohh]

wow, the one time it's an advantage to be a European customer and it's nintendo.

 

[orangeban]

Woo! Apparently Nintendo loves Europe! First we get Zelda earlier than you, and now this! Nice, thanks Nintendo!

 

[deckpunk]

Is it possible this is a sales tactic? Announce that the games are not being released in America and let desire for them build to breaking point, thereby guaranteeing strong sales figures upon eventual release... Or is it really the case that one of the "big 3" is breathtakingly stupid? Maybe Nintendo have made so much money that they are sick of it and never want to see it again... Joking aside this has not made sense since I first heard of it, I suspect a ruse or at least a ridiculous marketing strategy

Why thank you, you saved me the trouble of looking that up and using it, and I agree.

OT: GodDAMMIT Nintendo! Look, I'm happy for Europe because they screwed over all the time, but would it FUCKING kill you Nintendo to localize both and release them at the same time? Why this run around?

I'm honestly asking because this makes no sense to me.

I've ordered Xenoblade Chronicles, hopefully it will arrive tommorow.

I'll shall see how interesting these other two games are closer to release.

I decided to cut out the middleman as well. Preordered a UK copy last month, should be getting delivered no later than Monday, unless Customs decides to quarantine me against the dreaded superfluous "u" in British English.

If anything, it will probably be the lack of 'Z's replacing 'S's.

I know how you yanks love your zeds (not zee, that's just madness).
