Starts with "Xeno"

Enough people would buy it to make a profit... more people than in Euroland I'm sure. NOA is just cheap.

I dunno why anyone cares... it's coming in English, it's playable... either pirate or import. Whatever. Tiesto has no qualms with buying J-Games so this really isnt an issue.

Post by: magus on July 03, 2011, 11:27:28 AM
if nintendo had a decent online service they could have just put it into the nintendo online service or whatever and be done with it like they did with that wizardry ps3 game

I'm importing XB and TLS from Euroland, of course. But doesn't mean I'm still unhappy about NoA being cockgoblins about it and basically telling fans "go fuck yourself, but thanks for being a loyal fan!"

I'm not wholly sure about that -- I know the numbers and it's a substantial gamble for very little potential profit. HOWEVER, if Nintendo of Europe has already sprung for the loc costs, then I suppose it is a fuck you to the fanbase :usacry

It sounds like they've got some really strong regional British accents in there. One of the guys sounds a little like Michael Caine in Alfie lol, just seems weird considering the setting. But whatever, game's good and strong english VA is better than Americans I guess. Still I prefer when games do more region agnostic VA like in FFXII where they were noticeably american sometimes but had more generic simple accents

I wouldn't call it atrocious. From a visual standpoint it fits the platform its on which is definitely jarring when compared to PS3/360 games. It basically looks like FFXII but not as good character models (I'd say its due to the art) but the environments look way more inspired in Xenoblade.
