Operation Rainfall: The Nintendo of America Localization Persuasion Initiative

[SMF]

I picked up the zelda bundle 3ds. i havent picked up any games for it yet. I think im getting mario kart for xmas and that will keep me busy for months.

You won't go wrong with Mario Kart iv been playing my copy whenever I get free time. Online play is awesome. Creating online rooms seperates the hardcore Kart players from the ones that just wanna jump in and play.

^ Nice I'm really looking forward to it. I played the hell out of mario kart DS online until snaking killed it for me.

If Nintendo was smart they would release Pandoras Tower also. With the Wii U coming out this year they need a awesome Wii game to keep people happy.

God knows April cannot get here soon enough for me.

This is fantastic news!

This is fantastic news!

It is though i find it odd noa doesn't want to use "the european version" of the last story.Unless they think it's not good enough and so they prefer xseed games to handle it.

I think Nintendo just didn't want to invest any time in these games, and I doubt XSEED will re-localize the entire thing.  Since they're "partnering" with Nintendo to bring out the game I think we're just going to get a US release of the EU version.

[ParanoiaDragon]

IF the do relocalise it, I would guess that they would only maybe do touch up's if needed.  I can't imagine them going thru the whole ordeal.  Now, hopefully it won't be exclusive to Gamestop, I hate Gamestop, & have thus far resisted pre-ordering Xenoblade, but, I'll probably just have to go & do it,  Hopefully Last Story will hit Amazon.....I hope I hope I hope!

You can pre-order Xenoblade direct from Nintendo thus steering clear of the big fat failtrain.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Awesome, done & done!

I supose so xseed games was probably brought in just for a few touch ups on the game.Still i'm rather annoyed it's taking so long for these games to get here,xenoblade is april and the last story is supose to be this summer when ever that will be.

You see if you preorder it at nintendo.com and get the Enhanced Package you get the game and Classic Controller Pro for $64.99 +Tax

SO CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS......

[Mathius]

Release date looks to be April 6th. Better pre-order now.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I am renaming this "Operation Gayblade"

also, I preordered this shit, and prolly wont play it til september or november.  lol

[munchiaz]

what is the difference between a classic controller, and a classic controller pro. besides the fact that the pro looks more like a playstation controller?

[SMF]

I've had this on pre-order the day it was announced.

I think the pro just has the handles.

I don't want to support GameStop either but I don't want to take any chances of losing my place in line. I pre-ordered through them before Nintendo announced they were excepting pre-orders through their site.

I can't blame ya for useing gamestop i only use them as a last resort.I remember when i wanted the (smb collection) for the wii and the only place i could 'get it at was gamestop.At least the stunt wasn't pulled again for the last story amazon offer it so i preorder it there pretty quick.

[SMF]

Hey who knows the way its sounding buying used games will be a thing of the past. With rumors saying the next Xbox and PS4 wont play used games. So does that mean Gamestop will start taking trade ins on the older games again to stay afloat?

If that happens its gonna be a joke, We think eBay is price gougers lol Gamestop will sell Drac X for SNES for $250 used.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Hmmm, I thought on the PS4 the rumor was that used games would have a fee that would have to be paid to register it to a different PSN account?

[Mathius]

Xenoblade shipped today!

[munchiaz]

tomorrow OMG. sucks i have to wait until after 9 PM to play it...stupid work

[TR0N]

LOL well i preorder xenoblade through nintendo so i have to wait for it to ship.

[nectarsis]

As both the PS4, and new Xbox is extreme rumors (at best) I put little faith in them.  IF this whole USED GAMES WON'T WORK actually happens, I think it MAY be like the Vita...used games have to pay to use the online aspects (still retarded).

[TR0N]

Xenoblade shipped today!

Nice got any impression on the game ? I'm still waiting for nintendo to ship my copy.

[munchiaz]

Im only 4 hours in but i really like it. The first hour or so is kind of slow because you are learning the mechanics of the game, But it picks up real quick. The battle system is really awesome so far, and you really dont get a full feel for it until your about 4 hours in. Thats when (i think) everything you can do is revealed to you.

[Mathius]

Got the game. Played for about 20 minutes. All I can say right now is the music is fantastic and the graphics are great for 480p.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Looks like mine just shipped from Nintendo, so, others should be recieving shipping notices soon I suspect.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I got mine, and threw it on the shelf.

Ill get to it eventually.  lol   fuckthesiseseses

Good to know i notice it was well as having to get use of the game battle system.
