Petition to Localize some new RPGs (video games)
« on: July 05, 2011, 01:20:42 PM »
There's a petition going around the old internet to requestion North American localization of three new Nintendo RPGs: Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. If you have a Wii and you like Japanese RPGs than this is a chance to get some good stuff. Some of these are already being localized for Europe so hopes for getting Nintendo to add North America to the list are high.

Going well so far. I was #3771 when I signed two days ago so you can see how quickly we're rolling towards a (hopefully) big total.

I'm surprised. I figured the only person less likely to sign this than you was Tom.

As The Listener, I feel respected and cared for.

Is this before or after Nintendo (or whoever) responded?  Because there was a response to the effect of "we don't plan to localize these titles at the moment."

After. It's an attempt to appeal.

Possible good news! According to Operation Rainfall's blog there is confirmation from a source inside Nintendo of localization of both Xenoblade and Last Story is happening. There is no official word so it might not be true. Rainfall seems to believe their source can be trusted. No information on Pandora’s Tower.

All of these are inferior to Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations 2, which Capcom currently has no plans to localize here despite it SELLING MORE UNITS IN THE FIRST WEEK THAN SQUENIX'S JUGGERNAUT KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES.
