Uh......yes? I mean don't get me wrong, I love Zelda and Kirby, but besides that what else do we have? Mario Party 9?
Without a doubt. Especially now considering all three titles Operation Rainfall are fighting for are being translated to English and releasing in Europe.
Nintendo has published niche titles in the past, such as Hotel Dusk and Chibirobo. I fail to see any logical reason as to why they couldn't bring Xenoblade, The Last Story or Pandora's Tower.
If the cost of doing voice over is the concern - and in this case its an arena Nintendo of America doesn't seem built for based on the one whole game they've done VO for - they could just leave the Japanese voice over in and do English text.
You'd save a world of bellyaching from weeaboos that way. Even if an English dub was there, they'd listen to it just to have something to complain about. But in this case to get the games out quickly, they could just skip an English dub and I'd be fine with that.
I just want to play these games legitimately.

Yes, as VWGTI stated above, with European localization already happening, there is literally no reason they shouldn't come to the States.
Nope.avi
Not until De La Jet Set Radio & De La Jet Set Radio Future releases in the US.
I really could care less. I have a perfect amount of JRPGs on my backlog I'm churning through.

Yes they should. Like you mentioned on the Podtoid before last Jim, if Atlus and Xseed (who are much smaller companies than Nintendo) can base their whole business around it and survive for as long as they have, then that means localization isn't as expensive and daunting as it seems. Therefore Nintendo, who has piles of money, should be able to do it without much trouble.
Yes, Nintendo's whole E3 was about catering to the hardcore when the WiiU comes out, but it's going to be a while before the U comes out. It's just kinda weird that they're saying that we'll have to wait for the hardcore stuff, when they obviously have quite an arsenal of it right now. Why not start the hardcore stuff in the Wii's lifecycle, and show gamers that they can push out more than those party games….Nintendo has to have some plan for these games in the future, maybe remakes in english for the WiiU??
If NOA could (and based of what's going on over at Amazon, can) at least break even on bringing them over, then by all means they should to get some sort of good will back
I don't see why not, it's just strange. They even tried to give the N64 and GC one last push before the end.
Though, this is common with Nintendo. Even if they did that last push for some games they let their last two consoles quietly die off so they won't overlap with their shiny console.
I keep thinking of a long black silence at the end of each Nintendo console cycle.

They should, but look at both sides. NOA has the right to be weary of It's success. However, with all the fans wanting it, it's a hard decision for Nimtendo. But yes, they should.
I guess i'm not THAT interested in these games. I'd probably buy last story at least, but it still just feels kind of like an insult how nintendo seems to have outright forgotten about their fans. I've stuck through with them through the ganecube's and n64's game droughts, but the wii's lack of consistent triple A games is unbearable especially when they hold plenty of interesting games back. Now they say they want hardcore gamers back, but then they come out with some huge tablet controller which will most likely add NOTHING to hardcore games, and they are too lazy to localize anything that isn't guaranteed million seller. Nintendo clearly isn't interested in my business, and Ive been feeling the same about them for a while now
I think that the gamers are being whiny about it, but they're still justified in what they're doing. NoA's response was incredibly stupid, imho. They've recieved however many hundreds, if not thousands of letters requesting that these games be brought over to North America, thus guaranteeing that there's a market for them. Nintendo basically just said "Stop trying to give me your money, I don't want it!"
They have Mario Money. They can afford to take a small financial risk and get bonus good PR in te process. WIth all three games confirmed for an English language release in Europe, localization costs at this point would literally be little more authorizing and printing the games on NTSC discs.
@The Silent Protagonist
fucking agree, why can't they just leave the VA and translate everything to english???
you better localize this NOA!!!

They claim they want to cater the core, then they deny the core some core games for a system that hardly has any core games. Anyway you look at it, what nintendo did is basically clarifying that they have no interest in titles that will not bring buckets of cash, it goes without saying that since they are so consistent with this practice of not releasing games in the west that people want, I will not get the WiiU anywhere near launch, if at all because of this is practice. Crappy publisher is crappy.
The answer is hell yes, theres no logical reason as to not bringing them over. Costs? they are already translating it in english so theres not many costs over there. Low sales? Fans have proven that there is enough fanbase to guarantee some nice sales, not millions of them but more than enough to even get some small profit. If other small publishers can bring niche games and manage to get profits, then why Nintendo a massive publisher with more than enough resources cant.
I think its important to point out this is a Nintendo of America problem, not a Nintendo problem all the whole.
It more or less means the problem is Reggie and he has enough sway to decides what happens here and what doesn't. Its the same exact issue with SCEA and their refusal to publish Demon's Souls, really - and we all know how that ended.
It ended in SCEA's humiliation and a victory for gamers.
Maybe we should be passing our letters on to Iwata's desk, have him to over Reggie's head and make a deal with a publisher like Atlus to make these games happen. Maybe its time for Reggie to get a slice of humble pie himself.

Oh and my answer is yes they should bring the games over, if only to clarify that they are tryin to cater to the core gamer.
I'm looking to hacking my Wii and importing EU copies of these games if they don't bring these games to the US. For me to care about the Wii at this point is nothing short of a miracle, I want to play a AAA title on the Wii that isn't from nintendo.
I'd never say they shouldn't bring those games to North America because I wouldn't want to suggest screwing my gamer brethren out of them, even if I personally have no intention of playing them.
However, if it were my call, I probably wouldn't do it either. I'm no industry expert, but I get the impression that distribution and securing shelf space and all that jazz is a massive pain in the ass, and I honestly don't see these games selling anywhere near well enough to justify that. It doesn't make good business sense, even if you ignore the cost of localizing them in the first place.

I'm European, I get them anyway, trollolololo.
But seriously, since Nintendo region-locks their console and expects us to not pirate/import their games, they better localize as much as possible, especially if so many fans want it.

YES!!! They'd make tons of money, it's ALL READY LOCALIZED, we want to play it, so they'd just be printing disks. There is NO reason to not.
I think they should. All three of the games are on my most anticipated list. I think they'd tank horribly but they have the money to spare and it'd show their fans that they care.
Especially sense they region lock their games.

They look nice, but they don't look like they're worth spilling blood for.
Sorta like how Wii owners hyped the shit out of No More Heroes and MadWorld because we didn't have anything decent to play. We ran out of games again and we're desperately begging for any game that isn't WiiFit: Noname Celebrity Edition.

Yes..Xenoblade is already coming out in Europe so how hard can it be to bring here?. TLS and pandora should also come here as MY wii hasnt been used in a year +..If those 3 dames came,all day 1 buys..
When is the WiiU releasing? Late next year, perhaps?
Because yeah, we're suffering from the fact that there is NOTHING AT ALL to play on the Wii. But after Zelda, it seems like we'll have another desert to cross. Or that the console will be indeed completely dead. Are they that stupid? These games would sell better than usual since there's so little else.
Nintendo is thinking too short. Maybe they'll lose money by releasing these games I don't know, but in the long term they're just losing fans. For me it's already too late, I bought competitor consoles for the first time this generation due to frustration for a lack of games and I'm not planning to go ahead with their new stuff.

@Epic-KxDtoid
De La Jet Set Radio is just the American version of Jet Set Radio released for Japan and there isn't a De La Jet Set Radio Future.
So you already have one of the games you're waiting for (or could easily buy) and the other doesn't exist.

Yes, NOA should bring this titles.
And something is true for me, this titles surely could sell more than mistery cases and that other minigame gimmick.

I don't think this is even something that could be marked as an opinion anymore when the only answer is "Yes"
That said, the more games we get spread to as many gamers as possible, the better.

What a stupid question!!!lol. No shit they have to bring this over or else Nintendo's reputation is done as far as I'm concern. I've been wanting to turn on my Wii for about a year now but Nintendo has not given me any reason to. I guess my PS3 will have to carry on the burden of catering to all my gaming needs.
Am I the only one who remembers that Nintendo of America released Electroplankton in the US, and they did it via website orders only? Why can't they do it with these games. It's not unprecedented. ELECTROPLANKTON for godsake. How many people bought that?
Here's our full thoughts on the subject: http://screwattack.com/blogs/GoodGuy-The-Man/Contraricast-Episode-3-Nintendo-Wii-Need-to-Have-a-Talk
No. Nobody cares about Wii games and they'll lose money in the venture. What's the next stupid question?
Yes they should. For PR of course. The statement at E3 was "we want the core gamer back". This is the exact fucking opposite you fucking retards.
I'm not going to lie either I want these games like everyone else and want them localized or my Wii is going to get hacked and modded the fuck out of. From their I'll import Xenoblade.

I've started to not give a fuck after all the jibber jabber about it. I'm getting them both so I don't care.
