On #4?! Dang it going to hit #1 but then for how long?

If it hits #1, then regular mainstream Amazon users who don't know about the game will want to check it out. This will actually spread the word avbout it, and lead to a massive spike in its popularity, more than it would have had if Nintendo had just released the game...

This just might work. Nintendo will still be **** for denying NA the game in the first place (along with all the other games they denied us), but they'll be able to redeem themselves a little.

Great :P You know, it's like I said earlier, this campaign will probably create more awareness for this game than any amount of advertising ever could have.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Except they're worse, because it's 2011 and they should know better. Nintendo of Japan is at least trying to improve the console library of the Wii with these games and NoA is just like "nope."

Yeah, I mean region locking and all, while never exactly making sense, was still at least a widespread practice in the industry in the mid '90s. However, it's nothing short of archaic, and honestly, backwards, in today's day and age. This is a global market, and video games are a global medium. There is no reason why game releases should not be global too. I like that Nintendo pushed new IPs. I like that Nintendo of Europe is supporting those new IPs by localizing them. I don't like how Nintendo of America is preventing the biggest market on the planet from playing these well received new IPs, however. Nintendo, you want to gain favor with the core gamers again, RELEASE THOSE GAMES HERE.

Its an open world JRPG with a very well told and original story, battles that play out in real time similar to FFXII and takes place on the bodies of two enormous dead gods which you can fully explore.

Take a guess.

Xenoblade is arguably Monolith Soft's most complete game with a great story filled with tons of side quests.

The Last Story while is somewhat original, the story cliched, but decent and the gameplay is probably one of the best in JRPGs. Certainly a game for people to try if they hate typical battle systems in most jrpgs.

Xenoblade, hands down but I also very much enjoyed The Last Story. It has its issues but it has the potential to be Sakaguchis new FF IF he tweaks the battlesystem a bit.

See now, I looked up Xenoblade some more, and it looks to awesome to NOT localize... Nintendo seem to have their heads up their asses, honestly, I mean... And now I check out The Last Story...

Mother 3 was a long time ago, that was like a different age and time, without any of these social media. Fatal Frame 4, well, I think there was something inherently wrong with the code, it was buggy and unstable.

There's more to Mother 3 than you think. There's a lot of copyright issues invovled. Which is why Earthbound isn't even on VC.

Take that, Call of Duty/Activision/Treyarch/Sony! 8)

*Sees #2*

Oh, for ****'s sake! :evil: We could've had an easy #2, but nooooo, we had to be such huge Zelda fans and Nintendo just had to make the OST a day 1&2 registration bonus.
Still, effort climbing to #2 is effort climbing to #1.

I have to say I am quite impressed the game has skyrocketed to #3 already. Hopefully our actions will get this thing localized, but I'm still not getting my hopes up.
