With Nintendo having used the European localization of Xenoblade Chronicles for the North American release (presumably to save time and money), some Nintendo fans have been left wondering how Nintendo of America will handle future hardcore niche titles. GP Editor Jason Clement discusses how NOA may proceed with their next titles and why gamers may see Nintendo's North American and European branches handle future localizations together.
No, what they should do is just make there systems region free so when they decide not to bring a game to both US and Europe the people left out can just import the game.
Of course that will never happen
I would say, no matter which localisation they'll use (NOA or EU) it's a matter that we would get games and some words that we may not understand, can be translated by myself).. I mean it's better than to wait for a localisation from other region, like it was with Xenoblade and Last story, I can live with it.. I think it's better than to not a game at all and it's cheaper than to make a separate localisation, so be it..
I thinking the reason they are doing this so and probably will for a good while; is cuz the yen is strong and the US dollars is weak. Definitely not going to make them money if localized it to America too. And they can save the cost by bringing over European localization with minor adjustments.
Nintendo are not the only publishers focusing on Europe, either. WotS4 will be getting a packaged release across the pond, but be digital only here in America. As was arcana hearts 3.
Expect to see this trend increase within the next few years.
I guess we will see by what they do with Pandoras Tower and if they bring it to NA !
