Fans Rally to Get Xenoblade Released in NA (It's #1 on Amazon now!!!)

Following the disappointing news that Xenoblade won't be making it to the US, fans have rallied, and are organizing various protests to get Nintendo of America to sit up and take notice, and to get the game released here at any cost.

• The campaign began on IGN's forum, with a letter template being worked upon, addressed to Reggie, and with all letters due to reach Reggie on the 6th of July. As Destructoid reports, the campaign has now spread to get Pandora's Tower and The Last Story localized too.
• Moreover, after Gamespot user LegatoSkyHeart pointed it out, I realized that another recourse for the fans has been to start preordering the game on Amazon. The game's Amazon ranking is rising right now. I encourage you all to preorder Xenoblade on Amazon. The preordering has been helping, as currently, Xenoblade is ranked #16 on the Amazon video games chart, #1 in the Action Games chart on Wii, and #4 for all Wii games.
• Another things that fans are doing- and this one's quite hilarious- is spamming Nintendo's Facebook feed.(thanks to super600 for pointing that out). You can also bombard Nintendo of America's Twitter feed.Address your tweets to @NintendoAmerica. Be sure to include the tag #Xenoblade in your tweet!
• You can also swamp Nintendo's phone lines by calling 1800-633-3236 and asking about this game's release (thanks, Nintendonly!)
• Check out the official blog page for Operation Rainfall, and be sure to drop in with your support!
• Finally, be sure to check out the home page for the game itself!
• Also, if you'd like, please put the Xenoblade logo in your sig. I'm providing the picture below, feel free to copy it to your sig. Also, please include a link to this thread, so more people can know about our campaign. Let's put up a fair fight, people!

Whereas there is little chance that this game will get localized in spite of any of this, I have personally now done all of the above.

Come on guys! Let's do this! It's times like this that we need to stand up as gamers! Let's get Xenoblade released in North America!

THE GAME IS RANKED #1 ON AMAZON GUYS... IT'S WORKING! LET'S KEEP AT IT! :D

Whereas there is little chance that this game will get localized in spite of any of this, I have personally now done all three of the above.

Were you guys looking forward to Xenoblade, or any of the other two games? Were you disappointed when they were confirmed to be not releasing in the US? Are you guys planning on spamming NoA too?

And most of all, do you think this campaign will be successful?

There's a good chance that this campaign can work, but I doubt it will anyway.

Contribute however you can people. You never know. At the least we'll get NoA to finally say something.

The game has shot up the charts on Amazon.com in the wake of his. Currently listed #33 out of all Video Games. #5 out of all Wii Games and #1 out of all Action Wii Games.

Amazon.com - Monado: Beginning of the World aka Xenoblade

I guess I'll pre-order it, but I'm not doing any of that other stuff. Doubt it works, but you never know.

I'll do my part, but still going to import if there's no news by august. Luxen90

Same here.

But for real Char, 2 threads on this matter?

For those saying that the spamming of the facebook stuff does not work, ask the people that kept day after day demanding the tales series be localized for Europe/NA so it does work

If you guys work hard and keep demanding it they will listen

I preordered. I really think that will be the most effective way to get Nintendo's attention.

Amazon.ca doesn't have Xenoblade/Monado for pre-order. >.>
Don't have a Facebook account. >.>
Snail mail will have to wait until July 6. >.>

Advertising this thread/the campaign in my sig for now. Feel free to copy my sig and host it on your image host (Curse you, Photobucket limits!) or use GS once they finally process the image if you don't have an image host. I don't want to pay extra to import it and I don't want Nintendo to misunderstand the European market as a result of importing.

Spread the word, people!

Edit: Just one post not long ago in SWOT and someone's already sappin' mah bandwidth. *Stares at Charizard* :P

I use Imageshack for images, no limit for me!

Anyways I've left a nice Facebook message.

Though I doubt Nintendo will read all 1000 messages that have been posted recently.

Actually, it turns out

1-800-633-3236

is a better number to call.

You can do stuff in a POLITE way, you knowLastRambo341

See?? You're proving my point. All f these meaningless campaigns and protests -_- , no different than riotsLastRambo341

How is this like a riot? Have we sent death threats, thrown molotovs at Nintendo's American/Canadian (Yes, there's an NoC) headquarters, hacked them, or obstructed their operations in any other way? This is just a protest to voice our opinion. Nothing more.

Totally forgot I have an ImageShack account. :P

I saved the sig and uploaded it on my own photobucket :D

I hope this works and I also hope they get Shadow Dragon 2 to the states as well!

What is it with this generation with all these good games being locked up in japan lately, namely RPG's and the most of what gets released here is garbage?. All three platforms are starving in the jrpg area, this is nintendo's chance to one up the other two and have something for the RPG fans. If NIS can release garbage title after another, why can't Nintendo and Namco start releasing more good RPG's. I'll have to look into the amazon pre orering thing too.

Come on, Nintendo, what happened to fan service?khoofia_pika

so where is fatal fame 4 and last story nintendo

Apparantly the reason why Fatal Frame 4 was never released is because it was buggy when it came out and Tecmo didn't want to fix it. I remember reading that somewhere a while back. That doesn't explain the absence of the Fatal Frame 2 remake though.
