Fans Rally to Get Xenoblade Released in NA (It's #1 on Amazon now!!!)

Can't pre-order the games on amazon.ca as there aren't any listings, but a Canadian site called videogamesplus.ca has joined in with Op. Rainfall, and anyone in Canada can use them to pre-order the games.

What ticks me off the most about this is that they didnt even bother to release a official statement, or a press release, they just sent some freaking tweet! Not classy at all.

We have to be more harsh. Spam them to the point it hurts them business-wise.

I'm in Europe and it's all good, but I just don't trust them when it comes to this **** Sony and MS more reliable when it comes to this. Wii U? Yeah when it's $100...

**** You NoA. Seriously. ****.YOU.

Nintendo of America used to be really good about localizing games. Now they are just terrible at localizing games that the fans want. They just ignore them.

**** Reggie especially.

Did anyone really expected otherwise?Arach666

Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say "never," but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!

Nintendo

They just posted this on their facebook

They think we're just a horde of mad sheep. If they really want the "core gamers back" they shouldn't be doing this bs.

I knew that'd happen.

Oh well.

Sadly I knew it was a long shot but I had at least a little hope. :(

Wow! Ninty just owned a bunch of the fans.I guess it's time for plan B.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Arach666"]Did anyone really expected otherwise?Arach666

Yeah, sure you are Nintendo. We ask you to release three games over here that have already been localized so it will literally cost you nothing, but you can't even be f***ed to do that, and you can't even be f***ed to give us an actual press release.

F*** you, Nintendo.

I just honestly dont understand the logic behind this decision. We have proven that these kinds of games have a market in north america, why are they being so stubborn? I still love Nintendo but my faith in Nintendo of America is all but gone. These may be the first games I SERIOUSLY consider importing

I wasint shocked by this at all.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Giving us something other than a pithy tweet (which is basically the equivalent of giving us the finger) would have been nice.DarkLink77

oh snap!

Well I expected such a response but still, screw you Nintendo!!!

And thanks for making my choice easier for next-gen. I've owned every single Nintendo consoles since you started in this biz, but for the first time I'm thinking of looking elsewhere for next-gen.

At least we can say we did what we could...bobcheeseball

I am prob going to get their console next gen. I'm just not going to give them my money and buy all nintendo games used. Not going to miss out on great games when I can have them and still make a point.

Reggie's reaction to Operation Rainfall.

Jesus Christ...Nintendo continues to disappoint me once again. They haven't done ONE THING right this year NOT ONE..

The 'reveal' for the WiiU was the most disappointingly horrible console reveal ever.. Most people don't even know WTF it is and the only games announced for it are 360 multiplats and a Smashbros game that hasn't even started development yet Great.. I am SOO excited.

And the lauch of the 3DS is the single most disappointing launch for a console ever. I know launches normally suck but my god.. Its been out for months and the only good game out for it is one I've played 100 times already and have no interest in playing again. I rebought a wii last year for Zelda and I figured some other good stuff would be coming as well but NOPE NONE OF IT IS RELEASING HERE... Why?... BECAUSE **** YOU.. Thats what Nintendo is saying to me as a Fan right now F*** YOU..

Just read on Nintendo facebook that they got no plans to bring Xenoblade (and the other two games.) to NA at this time.

I'm sure I'm a bit late but damn this sucks.

ActicEdge

This is the only correct answer.

Do something that shows your disappointment, but don't do it in a way that hurts the company nor its fans.

Smashbros game that hasn't even started development yet Great.. I am SOO excited.

Just wanna point out that Sakurai is still working on Kid Icarus so yes, Smash Bros. U is only on a planning stage, but the megaton announcement was that the game is coming for both 3DS and Wii U, and it will feature some kind of connectivity.

Perhaps they are right that these games will not sell well here... but the backlash from doing this to fans could be substantal. I for one have been looking forward to Xenoblade since it was first shown at E3. They maintained for the following years that it was coming to NA as well, but really they were just stalling, hoping we would forget about it by disclosing their intention during their WiiU announcement.

Media will report this and it is really bad press. Can we even beleive Nintendo will release the games they show off at E3? Why should we be excited for any game announcement, we dont even know if it will be made available to us.

-1 fan, Nintendo.

I agree it sucks but, I'm not really going to boycott their consoles and I don't really think anyone should because three games aren't hitting North America.

They've still offered lots of great content on the Wii.

Though, there really shouldn't be any excuse for the absence of The Last Story and Xenoblade, as both are coming out in Europe. Me thinks the cost to bring them to North American wouldn't be as big.

Disapointed, but I expected it in the back of my mind :/

They have their own plans and it doesn't revolve around Xenoblade, Last Story or Pandora's Tower.

The joke that super600 made was true after all.
