I completely agree, my Mop it up friend.

You know what? **** them. I'm done with this B.S. I don't have to put up with nonsense like this on my other consoles, and Wii owners shouldn't have to put up with it here. They shouldn't have to hack their Wiis to play these games just because Nintendo of America's leadership is incompetent. I like this site; the podcasts; and my fellow readers/listeners here, but I'm done with supporting Nintendo this generation and the next if they're going to treat their customers this way.
NoA? Currently really, really, really stupid.
I can see it now: Xenoblade clears 200k in the UK because of Americans importing, so a US release gets ordered - then it bombs in NA because everyone bought the import.
Could suck if EU sales are good due to all the importing/modding that will take place without announcements. Then, NoA announces/releases them stateside but everyone who wanted them already has them!!
...if a smaller publisher wanted to take it, they'd probably have to enter negotiations and work out a deal before they are allowed to publish it elsewhere.
If I remember correctly, Atlus has come forward and said that they would bring one or more of these games over if if Nintendo corporate would let them. Unfortunately, Nintendo probably owns the publishing rights to these titles outside of Japan. For another company to publish them in North America, Nintendo has to sell them the publishing rights, and Nintendo probably doesn't want to do that in case these titles actually end up being some kind of hit. Besides, it would really expose how terrible Nintendo of America's marketing consistently is if Atlus were able to turn The Last Story into a mega-hit in NA when NoA couldn't do that with Metroid Other M and so many other titles this generation.

We should start a club. Who's with us?The core gamer who only owns a Wii has become rare.
Sweet, I am a rarity.
What would be kinda nice is we founded a Harcore Wii Gamers Club and picked a game for each week and all of did a sort of review or some kind of opionated piece about it before moving onto the next week. For example, we all play No More Heroes 2 and give our thoughts about the game.
