Also, these are not your typical JRPGs in that they are action-RPGs, two of them with very Western styles to boot. That makes them special compared to your typical Japanese turn-based RPG populated by moë teenaged characters.<br /><br />It may be that NOA is just holding out so they can have a last hurrah for the Wii (@Bakanineinstein) as we wait for the new console.<br /><br />As for overall marketability, these games were actually very well-received by Famitsu - 38/40 for The Last Story; 36/40 for Xenoblade; and 31/40 for Pandora's Tower. Not that Western audiences would react the same but, considering planned (or supposed) releases for all three in Europe, NOE must see some merit and general appeal in these games.<br /><br />@Lee: A good suggestion. If anyone can put the pressure on NOA, it's Iwata-san. The situation makes me wonder how involved NOJ is with NOA's activities and their localization strategy.Mike Bonsteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333529635865320488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451489429641697933.post-77138240739172307012011-06-30T16:18:12.786-07:002011-06-30T16:18:12.786-07:00I tried putting the poster up at my local Gamestop...I tried putting the poster up at my local Gamestop, but the guy there wouldn't let me.

..."time to double down and hit back hard"<br /><br />By putting pieces of paper around!<br /><br />This is a worthless pursuit. NOA just probably doesn't see a market for these games. Hardcore gamer don't really want them, and casual gamers won't touch them. These games are only really appealing to the kids that are obsessed with Anime and wish they could speak Japanese.tskmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763017496487698216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451489429641697933.post-28216457380516860672011-06-30T02:04:01.267-07:002011-06-30T02:04:01.267-07:00The worst thing about the non-release of these gam...The worst thing about the non-release of these games is that Xenoblade and Last Story are already being localised for Europe so there is very little actual work for NoA to do.

Fortunately, a good friend of mine runs a game store and has consented in having a display by the front counter with pre-made letters waiting to be signed and mailed free to Nintendo (out of my own pocket). Also we will place fliers posted around the Wii section publicizing the cause and explaining why we need these games.<br /><br />If you develop a great flyer, post it to this site. My design skills are terrible and I'm sure others would be willing to distribute if they didn't have to put effort into making it.<br /><br />Also, is there an organized forum we can gather to brainstorm new ideas? The Facebook page is a chaotic shit storm.The Rainmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479513123044507316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451489429641697933.post-76144582933184940742011-06-29T20:27:13.477-07:002011-06-29T20:27:13.477-07:00You forgot to ask for English releases of Mother 1...You forgot to ask for English releases of Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 for GBA.TTEchidnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118118225721044747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451489429641697933.post-2965311118497674252011-06-29T19:50:53.126-07:002011-06-29T19:50:53.126-07:00This really is a great task you are all undertakin...This really is a great task you are all undertaking...
