Nintendo Dun Goofed | Xenoblade Debacle

JRPG fans are rejoicing as they hear the wonderful news that Xenoblade will finally grace their Wii’s in North America. Or are they? It was found earlier yesterday that Gamestop had advertised it with a release date on their web site. Immediately in the world of social media people began to scream for the fans of JRPGs to buy this game. After causing such a stink about Nintendo not intending to release it, they need to really support this title. I agree with this, except I believe Nintendo is still in the wrong.

Nintendo of Europe probably already has their money. Why should they pay twice?

Though, it's all about personal choice and perceived value.

To stop NoA saying "Told you it wouldn't sell. We won't bother localizing Xenoblade 2."

If you want to prove Nintendo wrong, buy the game and trade it in a few days later....

And they'll even do better once they officially announce the Last Story for NA as well :3

HEY! I CAN TURN ON MY WII AGAIN!!!

Most people in the US who wanted to play the game probably already pirated it or imported the game, so sales will be low.
I'm not going to buy it. April release...I rather spend my money on PS Vita games or save for a Wii U.

See, the excuses are already starting...

Nintendo: "This game won't sell in US."
American gamer: "We'll buy it if you release it! Pleeaseee!"
Nintendo: "Nope!"
American gamer spams Facebook page constantly.
Nintendo: "OK! OK! It's out in April."
American gamer: "I'm not buying it now."
Nintendo: "See? We were right all along."

user39039995283d ago

I already imported the game @ almost $100 US for the bundle with the red controller because I thought this game will never come to the US, so by April I'm not going to waste more money, especially when I already have and beaten the game several times.
So yeah by April I rather spend my money on other games or save up for a Wii U

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
