Operation Rainfall

[GrooveMan.exe]

Worked for Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Didn't for Mother 3 and that should have been a layup in all accords.

In fact Mother 3 NOT getting a official american release is kinda the last nail in the coffin. If you can't even sell a RPG that has ridiculous american appeal to westerners then you can't sell Xenoblade, you can sell Earth Seeker and Mistwalker BE DAMNED if you try to get The Last Story over here.

I am perpetually perplexed by this cause of events though, the system needed some games that can and would appeal to a niche market. Can't you just sit in an office and tell your people to only release a certain amount and then re-release the game if the game does exceedingly well? Worked for Demon Souls.

This shit really isn't unique to Nintendo; and in the case of 3rd party games like Last Story, potentially not even their call.

Maybe it's just because as a UK gamer there's heaps ands heaps of english-translated games we never get here; but the amount of sensationalisation here over 3 games that happen to not be released in the US rings a tad ridiculous.
