So April 17,2013 was Nintendo Direct.There was like 6 Mario game and then bam!Earthbound confirmed for a Wii U rerelease.
Nintendo threw a bone for the fans,while there were many fans who always made an effort to get Nintendo to listen,I was one of the people that gave up."Nintendo can't be bothered,if they didn't release Earthbound during the Wii's life cycle,and still haven't because of copyright issues,then they never will."
Of course,I didn't say this outloud because who am I to bring down the hopes of fans,let Nintendo do that.Well,now it happened and it will coming out on the Wii U virtual console,and will probably bring down the prices on ebay,which is good,since it's a colossal task just to play it.
I don't think I ever saw that many "fake" reproduction cartridges for a game quite like Earthbound,frankly,it's a high entry fee just to play a SNES game.
When did Nintendo start using macro text in their images? |
This has been happening a lot lately,with the Operation Rainfall trilogy as it's unofficially known,I thought we were never getting Pandora's Tower and here I am,playing it.
Project X Zone,that crazy crossover RPG,probably had way too many licensing issues to ever come out over here.And we're getting it this June!
Oh.Can't say much about SMT4. I see how it is. |
Shin Megami Tensei IV.We all knew Atlus was going to bring it out here,but nobody could anticipated that we would be getting it this summer.I hope the localization isn't rushed because of that,though.
Ex Troopers,that Lost Planet anime spin off that looked more appealing than Lost Planet 3 and it's....not coming over, here.Huh.Where the hell is the Operation for that game?
Hatsune Miku Project Diva f PS3 version had that whole Facebook thing but who knows if that had any significance.
Well,at least Sega's trying unlike Capcom,how hard would it be to make a "Like and share if you want Ex Troopers released in the west!" banner?
J-Stars Vs.If a fighting game with major anime characters that are all licensed in the United States can't come over here,then that's just bullshit.How can you say licensing is an issue when Project X Zone has like 30 franchises in one game and it's still coming out over here?
And it's a fighting game,which I would it's more marketable then an RPG.
I think there's always games that aren't going to get localized because of reasons,but we should buy the games and buy dlc (if it's not overpriced) to show the publishers that there is a market for these games.I'm not the type to buy dlc but I did for Valkyria Chronicles and Fire Emblem,I'm willing to go the extra mile to show support for these franchises,and I'm hopeful that these game companies keep supporting their loyal niche audience.
