Anybody buy them? Lets be honestpeople. We all know what huge blockbuster games are being released, including Zelda Skyward Sword. How many people here would but these three games above such a tight compition. I can't believe theres very many here you would take Pandora's Tower before Zelda

Why are we putting Pandora's Tower in with these two? Seriously, where has this game come from and why does it matter as much as the other two? I don't think the studio behind it ever did anything else before it.

I'd probably ask for Xenoblade and Zelda: Skyward Sword for Christmas. The other two, I don't know when I'd get them. I wouldn't wait specifically for a price cut, but I don't think I'd get them right away. That being said, if they did release these games, considering they'd be concerned about it selling well, why would they release them around the same time as their biggest game between now and the end of the Wii's lifetime? I mean, Zelda is no Mario, but even so, that would be a terrible decision by Nintendo.

I have reasons to get Studen Loans from my good-for-nothing government, and this is one of them. I buy all three, Zelda, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted 3, I buy goddamn everything like a man should.

LaytonsCat
Yeah, I realize there's a limited period that they could release it, though even within that period, there are smarter times to release them. Maybe they could release them twithin the first half of 2012? Between the holidays and whatever time Wii U will come out next year. That way they could fill in that brief gap for their main console games. Keep in mind, while I'm certainly upset that I won't be able to play these games, I can see why they feel that it's not worth the risk. These games, no matter what time they're released, probably won't sell as well as some of the Operation Rainfall people think they will, but if they did, then I just feel like there are better times to choose to release it, even with more limited options.

Nintendo stated they wanted the Wii to co-exist alongside the Wii-U. It was in one of the many E3 videos. Not sure how so many people managed to miss it. But even then, it'd make a lot more sense to release on Wii-U since these are core games, not kiddy/casual games.

of the ones you mentioned, only battlefield matters to me, and i have the money for it separated :P there is, however, the looming threat of dark souls, saying "i shall be your RPG of the year".

I agree! If they come, they are likely to come during 2012 and before the Wii U is released.

Let's get something straight, that game sure as hell ain't niche in Japan. It may be niche in the U.S., but if you are posting on a video game forum, at least get your **** together and use Google/Wikipedia/etcetera.

it's a game for anime fans. that never even got a chance of being localized in the US. i'd be surprised if more than 100 people have ever heard of it on gamespot. so no, it's not assumed that because you're on a videogame forum that you're supposed to know every single thing about it. it's like expecting a math student in a math club to know absolutely everything about math. or, to make it metaphor free for you, assuming that because you have access to google, you know everything that google can possibly link you to. so quit raging on people for no reason and shut up. you do it on every thread and i'm fed up. inb4umad.

I'd buy all of them in hopes of causing a massive Skyward Sword bomb which will convince NoA not to localize any more Zelda games. Hilarity ensues.

If Nintendo of America really has no plans to release those games and fans convinced them, it will be likely to get the games released next fiscal year (April 2012 or later) and before Wii U release.

NoA is wasting the fresh new IP they need. Xenoblade and The Last Story clearly may transform into strongcompetition for Final Fantasy (whose major iterations haven't reached Nintendo consoles in a while). Besides, Pandora's Tower seems to be clear competition for the fast-paced action games on Sony consoles (i.e. God of War and Dante's Inferno). Why not to release the if they are already translated?

Look at my username and you'll know why I'm very envious for Japan right now.

On Topic:
I'm more interested in Zelda and other blockbusters. Xenoblade, Last Story or Pandora's Tower hasn't really caught my attention yet. If they do someday, I doubt I would buy all 3. There are so many great games coming out this Fall and there's a limited amount of stuff I can get for christmas. :P

The percent of american users on GS is surprisingly small and if its a holiday no ones at work. But if the Wii U is coming middle of next year the last thing NoA wants to worry about is three japaness games

Xenoblade and Skyward Sword are day 1 purchase without a doubt.
The Last Story might be day 1 but that's a maybe.
Pandora's Tower, I'd probably wait for a price drop unless it actually gets great scores everywhere.

Why are we putting Pandora's Tower in with these two? Seriously, where has this game come from and why does it matter as much as the other two? I don't think the studio behind it ever did anything else before it.

It's because all three are new Nintendo IPs that all just so happen to be RPGs

It pays to do a little bit of research.

Nintendonly

So they made an apparently needlessly overcomplicated immitation of Super Smash Bros with maybe 5 or 6 familiar liscences and the rest only distinguishable from one another by the colour of their hair? And is not getting an international release due to legal issues? And probably isn't that impressive anyway since I've never heard of it up to now (not even one person casually mentioned it in another thread)?

My point is that Sakaguchi and, to a lesser degree, Monolith were both well established names that any enthusiast could tell you about, but the guys who made PT seem to be complete nobodies.

I'd probably buy all three (haven't looked up much on PT though) and Fire Emblem 12 if they translate that for the DS. Get sales up for some new things in my pathetic hope that Nintendo will stop developing/publishing the same generic crap over and over again.

I've heard of those games and seen them played. They looked like they could be a lot of fun. And even if it is like Brawl at least we could play that while waiting the years it will take for another Smash Bros game.
