Are you kidding me? All of these games are being localized in english and they still are not coming to NA? This is just ridiculous.

@Dickhole Pasta I was thinking of sending pee, but you're right. Poop is more appropriate for this situation.

Nintendo really is screwing us big time on this one.

Anyone else see a connection between this and the new, low-price UK Wii?

I may need a reminder, but what exactly is NOA doing to stop people like me from doing this? Now, I'm trying to see if I remember how to care about NOA as a whole......nope, I guess not. Oh, well. Looks like I'll have to do this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLIC0gXA2bw

As much as i'm going to enjoy all these releases here in the UK. I am very sorry, america.

YEEES ! The last story will soon be mine. Ehhm... sry guyz

At least they are getting localized and importing for the console is fairly easy.

Oh god, I'm turning into a European gamer circa ten years ago.

@Dickhole Pasta, I did that, but symbolically. How? By going against NOA's wishes and "violating" the so-called EULA by making the Wii region free. What are they gonna do about it? Nothing.

So basically, NoE is making an actual effort to keep the Wii alive in 2012, while NoA is perfectly content to let it die. Nice business plan, NoA!!

Can you not just wait for the American release schedule before getting worked up. There is no way they are not going to release these games in the USA especially after the reviews two of them received. Maybe in Europe we may also get the most recent Tingle game on the DS :-)

I say let em have this one

@Dickhole Pasta
You sir, are a genius. I'm off to the supermarket to get some prunes.

I'm from the UK and I will be buying all 3 of these games on day 1, as will many other people. Don't worry America, Nintendo would be VERY stupid not to release these games over there, especially since the English localisation is finished.

Usually it's Europe that gets screwed, I guess it's because games released here need to also be translated into French, Spanish, German etc. We didn't get Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger & Cross, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 1,4,6 (the first FF we got was FF7), Xenogears, Dragon Quest 7......

The Last Story proves that the Wii is capable of much more than Super Mario Galaxy 2 graphics, even though that game was beautiful as well.

All this is because Wii U will be released in USA in 2012 and in Europe in 2013.

We'll see how this goes. NoA has been cagey for years, but Reggie has also been semi-proven to be incompetent when gauging the desires of the market of Wii owners beyond the people he was hired to cowtow to, the mass market non-gaming family group they wanted to add into the mix. He had and still has no idea how to respect the group that has been there going back into the 1980s at all. It's clear watching some repeatedly stupid comments and behavior year after year at E3 and other events and interviews, then doubletalking around it like things will happen and yet still they don't.

I'm not writing the mess off yet, but for me Last Story was my top one as I trust the makers work, Xenoblade was second and the other could just fade as I wouldn't pay for that. As it stands if they don't come I'm either going to do what has always been unthinkable for me to do, hack my console, and from there decide if importing a disc+home brew channel or just downloading it out of spite would be my best options. It will depend on likely their comments, behavior, but also timing up against the new system and IF I decide to run out there and get it.

Wii outside of the mass market thing they went for was a failure to old Nintendo gamers in part. Super Mario, Metroid, and Zelda(looks to) hold up well, but then they jacked up Kart and Brawl over the last releases, and other stuff came up poor too. Trust is broken on software with me, and hardware too, along with third party honesty with all the huge lies to manipulate people like me into wasting cash on b-team trash for a few years. If it still didn't seem unfathomable to me to do it due to child years loyalty I'd sell the damn Wii as I can even on fun games barely tolerate to turn it on more than once a month because of all the lost money and disappointments and that's new grounds entirely.

Dear Nintendo of America, either release these games to the US or sod off, sincerely, a fan of Nintendo of Japan.

Dear NOA, thanks for making me realize my Region Free Wii is still a good decision.
