Nintendo answers to Operation Rainfall

[QUOTE="locopatho"]

Wow aren't you just a peach of a person :|

People want some good games for their Wii, instead of just having crap like Wii Play, Conduit 2 and Mario Sports Mix for the entire year. Why so happy that they won't get these games? And yeah it is Nintendo's fault not releasing the game despite already being in English.

If this was a PS3 game, it'd be released everywhere more then likely, and if not, could be imported and played with 0 problems on any PS3, from any territory, cos that's how Sony rolls 8) It's only natural to be ****ed off at Ninty being stuck in the past.

gamenerd15

Finding good wii games on the wii is not a problem, and it never was. Anyone can select mediocre titles and throwing out the several dozen good/great ones from a system, so that's not valid.

And it's NOT Nintendo's fault because the consumers would not buy these games. Advertise and Market all you want; none of these 3 would sell. The consumers don't want them. It is smart move of Nintendo from a business perspective not to ship them to North America because they wouldn't sell.

Oh, and why the crap would I care about what lesser company would do as opposed to Nintendo?

How do you know that these games would not sell? You do not know because they will never be released. It is funny how people tend to claim that these games will not make a profit, but no one knows how many copies of these games need to be sold in order for Nintendo to make its money back.

Well Nintendo would have done research & looked at past similar games that was brought to US, & looked at how much was sold, maybe they the sales didn't meet their expectation. Its not people who make claim..Nintendo is not bringing it over because it won't meet their sales expectation. Blame people who says they want it BUT then look at review score of 5 to 7 out of 10 then don't buy it. :P

Keep pushing them. Keep pushing them. We will not stop!

What one can achieve is better than one doing nothing even if it is for not.

Yes! But it gets annoying whensome of the people in the comments are threateningNinty with dropping their support or are posting in any new non related localization of these gameswall posts ninty makes with talk about these games making it harder for their actually fans to respond to the wall posts ninty puts up.

That is false. The reason why it wasn't released in North America isbecause Reggie Fils-Aime openly stated that if it reviewed and sold poorly, they wouldn't release it. And that is exactly what happened.Oddly enough, NOA did all of the localization work, including the voice actors, for that game.

Start buying other games like these and encourage others to do the same, that's the only way to get these kind of games in the future.

At the same time, those games could have been done on the Gamecube. Consumers are not going to buy games that look and play like last generation. Radiant Dawn was supposed to be on the GC, but was moved to Wii. It is a good game, but I can see why it did not have a lot of sales. Radiant Dawn also came out around the time Galaxy 1 was released, so there is your answer for that game. Tales of Symphonia was not that great, the characters were annoying, the game looked old, and the controls were not that great. The mini games were really stupid. Why would anybody buy third rate RPG? Everybody says, "look how poor sales of other games in the genre have sold," but the thing is that a lot of the other RPG's on Wii are not that great. Xenoblade and The Last Story look 8 times better than previous RPG's on Wii. Nintendo has to take all of this into consideration.

From what I've heard the only game worth playing out of the three is Xenoblade. The other two arent worth the time and probably have no chance of coming, so I would stop worrying about them. I hope Xenoblade makes it to America, but if not I'm not going to fret over it. The game isnt anything stellar (just good, 8's or 8.5 reviews), but I would certainly buy it if it did come here to show my support. dragonball3900

Donkey Kong Returns, both Metroid games, both Mario Galaxy Games, Warioware, Zack and Wiki, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Trauma Center, and others. Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros Brawl would not have had online. Some parts of Goldeneye look better than GC games.

The only difference is that Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn was supposed to be on GC. Symphonia only had motion controls with mini games. Those mini games were dumb and did not need to be put in the game at all. You could also move your character in field mode with pointer controls. This movement option did not work so well. Other than those two things, symphonia 2 could have ran on GC. My point was that Symphonia and Radiant Dawn were just ok games. Radiant Dawn was good, but the first one was better. Symphonia 2 was a game made by a different team than the one that created all of the main entries in the series. No one wants to buy a second rate RPG, so Nintendo cannot judge how well Xenoblade and Last Story will do based off of games that were a bit meh in the first place. If a high quality RPG came out and sold poorly, then maybe I could understand Nintendo's position on things.

That comparisan is way off. Graphically, most wii games could have been done for the GC and the motion controls are typically tacked on and don't feel very inspiring. And for the guy above who made a list of games that couldn't be done, are you bloody kidding me? Donkey Kong Country could have very easily been made for the wii. The first 2 Metroid Primes were on the gamecube and look just as good as the Corruption or Other M. As for Smash Bros not being online, you don't find that many people playing online now anyway.

Nintendo is concerned with the Wii U launch line-up, yet could buy essentially 2 Months of Wii life and thus push back Wii U just by bringing these games to America. I'm sure they'd be titles that would rank pretty high on the Wii's best games list.

These games likely wouldn't sell very good in North America, that's why Nintendo won't bother localizing them.
It's as simple as that.
Nintendo can't release games just to be nice, they also need to make a profit.
If you wan't to blame someone, the fault really lies in your collective gaming culture as that is what makes these kind of games unattractive to the market as a whole.
So in reality, the same culture that brings you more games of certain genres inevetably makes you lose some games from other genres.
It's your culture, deal with it.

A couple software titles aren't coming to North America, and that is all. This isn't anything new. We've had licensed software exclusive in Japan since even before even the NES and up until now, and there will continue to be software that doesn't make it in certain regions in the decades to come. This isn't anything major, it's ridiculous with the amount of feedback and backlash Nintendo is getting for it.

And another thing: These titles wouldn't sell beans in North America. There's a larger part of the picture that is commonly not being seen here.

^ I think the backlash has to do with the fact that not many games are coming out for Wii this year. That and region-lock making it more difficult to import.

There's a lot that does into the decision making to bring games over. A lot of work (American voice acting and such), plus a lot of paper work. They don't wanna say "YES" now when they havn't even started work on the games, and they'll arrive in like 2 or 3 years, when people won't even want them anymore. I'ms sure though they will take this into consideration for the future and plan ahead and know what type of games to bring in the future!
