I won't believe anything until I have the game(s) in my Wii. I was jerked around too damn much with the Earthbound series, NoA isn't doing that to me again.
I'm with Popyman on this one. Cautiously optimistic. And slightly impatient :/ Wish they'd realize that just because it's not gonna sell like Pokemon hotcakes doesn't mean its not a good idea..
Wow that was quite a few negatives in that last sentence.

I'll love to be optimistic about this but the truth is that this seems as hopeless as all the other bullshit NoA has given us. Nintendo has disappointed me too many times and if they don't localize some of those awesome Japanese games, after Skyward Sword I'm done with them. As for Megaman Legends 3 goes, MML1 was one of my favorite games back in the day. It's just a shame that even if they would off released it I wouldn't buy a 3DS just for that game.
Nintendo's feigned support of the 'hardcore' is utter bullshit and they've demonstrated that for, at least, two console generations now.
Further more, of the 12 Operation Rainfall supporters that I personally know only one of them actually plans to pay to import any of the relevant games; the rest have simply soft-modded their Wiis and plan to pirate away.

I love how 2011 so far has given Nintendo loyalists nothing but sour grapes so far. I hope it keeps going. Maybe it will teach everyone involved a lesson.
I mailed my letters for Xenoblade & Last Story already and next week I'll send one for Pandora's Tower. I don't know if it made much of a difference, but atleast I can say I tried. It was kind of neat handwriting a letter and sending it through the mail, I haven't done that since I was a kid.
I emailed Nintendo and that was the exact same response I got, word for word. So I'm not too optimistic about it, personally.
Just got that letter in the mail today. :)
Like most everybody else, I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Heck, I'll even settle for 1 out of 3. :)
But yeah, I'm glad they took the time to send out individual letters, and especially grateful for the second-to-last sentence. *crosses fingers*

Eh, I'd love to be optimistic, but I can't trust any developer anymore, after all the bullshit they've pulled. I want these games so badly, but NoA continues to keep up this PR facade.
Maybe if we're lucky, Reggie will have his name taken and his ass kicked and they'll put someone in charge of NoA who knows what he's doing.

Man, it is an exceptionally dark time to be a Nintendo fan. Which is saying something because Nintendo fans have become accustom to the dark after being in it for like the last 10 years.
It's just a bad time to be a fan of Japanese games in general it seems. Many aren't being localized and now some are being cancelled outright after being hyped up for months. The few left are trying so damn hard to appeal to the American market that they just come off as cynical, and that's when those intentions backfire. Japan has become that kid you knew in high school who has good intentions but tries way too hard to be cool in front of the kids who APPEAR cool but are really just a bunch of douches.
Screw it, Holmes, let's just get drunk in mourning. Lets all just sip one for us, and one for our homie mml3.

I'm done with this controversial roller coaster ride.
The games are not coming out in North America. I've accepted NOA's stubborn decision. There's absolutely no reason for Nintendo to hold back on making a potential announcement of these games coming out. Not when they are well aware of how frusterated and pissed off fans are especially during a time when we've had nothing new and worthwhile to play for over 6 months. Even the virtual console and Wiiware haven't done anything good since the late release of Chrono Trigger.For North American gamers, Wii is going to remain a comatose platform until Skyward Sword, Rhythm Heaven and Kirby hit later this year.
PAL gamers, you are fortune to have the infamous Nintendo of Europe surprisingly display an act of heroism by doing what NOA did not. Please support and enjoy playing these games. North American gamers will just have to import. That is all.

I don't think people understand what a significant gesture sending a traditional letter is. Its a general response, sure, but its not a quick and sloppy canned email or Facebook/Twitter shout-out
Also, Excel, enlighten us to the "lesson" we should be learning here. Its not been a phenomenal year for Nintendo so far, sure, and its certainly been lacking on the console front. There are other publishers out there doing far, far worse in terms of PR relations that gamers slavishly follow anyway.
EA treats everyone like shit, after all.

Damnit I knew I forgot to do something! Oh well I kind of doubt it would have made a difference. I'm hoping we get these games, but if not, enjoy yourselves Europe. For once you aren't getting the shaft.

Just like Jim should also write about sports games and generally the PC scenario. Heck, Jim should be the only employee of Dtoid then, right?

I'll believe it when I see it. Nintendo still seem stuck in the past in terms of releasing new franchises/localisation and the Wii-U still looks like a current gen console that will have lacklustre online and standard gen graphics, according to Miyamoto. Nintendo have really disappointed me recently - they need to up their game.
Why don't they just release them & if they sell well then great. If they sell badly then at least they'll have an excuse & a reason to not release certain games there in the future.
i feel that both last story and xenoblade will be released in the states but only after they draw this out as long as they can.
AFTER they are released, this will all be good PR. every bit of it.

I'm not going to hold my breath on these games, but I do like that Nintendo is taking the time to personally respond to it's fans.
Such a Sissy response :/
I still don't understand these guys, if people want these games, why not give it to them, they print money right?

Why is it that every time I read anything about this... the first thing I feel is a deep seeded disappointment in Nintendo.
And the second feeling I get is that of dread at what I suspect is the upcoming middle finger to their fan base that these games will be release but only on the Wii U....

I'm sorry to be the one to bring this up, but if there are so few requests that a single person can hand write everyone back, do you really think that that will make Nintendo think it would be worth their time to go through all the cost and hassle to publish these games in America?
I expect it's Nintendo's policy to deliberately feed this controversy (no publicity is bad publicity, right?). They'll cave in eventually and make more sales than they would have if they had guaranteed releases from the start. Besides, unlike conventional advertising this only costs them credibility.
Sissy Barner is a bringer of false hope. Speaking form experience, don't read too much into this response as it's still canned.
