[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Apparently, their idea of fan service involves releasing the ninth Mario Party game over quality games like Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. charizard1605

I like Mario Party. :[

So do I. However, we already eight of those and we have no Xenoblade here. Moreover, there is a dearth of quality RPGs on the Wii, as well as an absolute lack of quality hardcore games outside of Zelda and Kirby on the Wii this year. Nintendo are sitting on a great core specific RPG here, why not release it? Why release the NINTH Mario Party instead, when it's likely to be the same as the other eight?

Nintendo loves to troll?

:P

Clearly :P It's like them going 'nyeah nyeah, cry all you want, but you won't be getting this really cool quality RPG! Here, have the ninth Mario Party and the third Mario and Sonic game instead!' :(

Which is why we are trying to prove by sheer numbers that Xenoblade will sell too, if it is localized. Maybe not as much as Mario Party, but it will still sell.

Okay, I'm pretty sure Xenoblade won't jeopardize Mario Party 9's release :P But if it did... would you still be supporting its release in the US? :o

This is BS. I've preordered the game on Amazon, and I'm tweeting repeatedly to NoA as we speak.

They're both the same game. Xenoblade was originally called Monado. It's name was changed a year ago, but looks like Amazon didn't update its database to reflect the change.

Xenoblade (i.e. Monado) is not 25th in Video Games topsellers on Amazon. :DSaltyMeatballs

It's now 16th, going up :D

It should keep going up, as Americans log on. Still quite early there.

Yeah. I'm honestly pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of people that want this game released, I never thought it would be so popular.

I think that the most positive thing from this would be the Amazon preorders, if they see large enough numbers it may make them reconsider.

If you're using Chrome, right click on the image, and click on Copy Image URL. Then copy it into your sig. If it still doesn't work, try uploading it to Picassa.

Honestly, I think the game is coming to NA, and always has been. Why would it be listed for release this fiscal year if Nintendo had no plans to sell the game? I just think they are being stupid(like normal) and havent said anything about the game, maybe because they plan on releasing it after Zelda...

Well whats the point in me asking Nintendo of America to release something in US ?!

It is bad that nintendo stuck there middle finger up to US on this release and im happy that so many people are supporting your crusade :-). Why release a EU version which will be multi-language but no american version with English?!

They've done it before with Mother 3. Still, I refuse to let a travesty like that occur again, I want to play my goddamn Xenoblade! (or they could remove region-locking on the Wii U, that would be cool too)

Nintendo confirmed that the game will NOT be releasing in NA. That's actually what caused this sudden uproar, actually.

Mother 3 was different, it was always going to be a tough sell. Xenoblade has an audience though, and Amazon proves that. Hopefully, that should spur Nintendo into action. And if the 3DS is any indication, then I don't think region locking is going away from Nintendo systems anytime soon :(

I don't advise people to write letters. Its Nintendo, not some mom and pop store. They probably just have interns shred the letters. Same goes for cold calling.

The best bet is just buying it. It shows demand, but personally I don't see this happening. You think you can just demand a product? Thats not gonna happen so easy, but it can. You need marketing dollars, PR, etc etc, plus Nintendo has OTHER games they are releasing in North America. They would need a target release date thats not conflicting with the company's goals and other set projects. Sure you have demand, but how and when are they going to get it to you is the question that needs to be anwsered.

All in all, I hope it works out. It looks like a great game. I probably won't be buying it though even if it did come to North America. Last Story though.......

Yeah. It's funny how people keep demanding new IPs from Nintendo, and then they go ahead and make three, but they won't release any of them outside of Japan...

Come on, Nintendo, stop trolling us and release the game in NA already!
