Yay for Europe.
But what about North America :(

One of the XSEED guys said that it's coming when asked if they were going to publish it, it's just not by them (I'd THINK it'd be Nintendo, but who knows?)

SEGA

Yeajh yeah now how about publishing Tales here?

Seconded

Take that up with Namco... =\

Nintendo published ToS here IIRC.

Yeah, but it should be Namco's job, particularly with the more popular Wii...

Like hell Namco would spend money on releasing Wii games.

Wait, so Namco developed the game, but Nintendo published it around the world?

Well there's one already out published by Namco, and another in the works that I'd expect to work the same... =)

It's just Europe that is in question, considering Dawn of the New World hasn't been announced there...

Well they gotta announce it in 17 different languages.

Translation: It's going to haunt your Wii next month.

Looks like it's coming true!

Hopefully this doesn't get the same treatment as "Disaster" (releases everywhere except the US). The game was riddled with many game breaking bugs, so that might be enough to can the release in the US.

Thankfully if it doesn't come out here, Gecko OS solves the problem...

I'd like to hear Nintendo's PR runaround for this not being released here yet.

I want to hear if the controls were corrected, otherwise I probably won't care.

Let's just say that a friend had a "copy" of the game which he let me play, and I didn't seem to notice any of the control issues IGN seemed to complain about.

I dunno if it controls anything like they describe not sure I'd want to play it.

Easy Denise from NOA said that NCL decides what games to localize.

Maybe they want to add Motion Plus?

Sounds more like they're just holding it till we all forget it even exists so they can quietly shelve it.  It boggles the mind why Nintendo is dragging its feet with this game in North America, and they don't even have the excuse of it apparently sucking like they do with Disaster: Day of Crisis.

It's another Japanese game that's too good for the rest of the world.

Or it's a game by Japanese devs who admit Japanese development isn't better than the West anymore, so NCL grants their wish by not showing it to real audiences.

Perhaps it'll be released later? Not every game gets released in the US first (though 95% do).

I think he is surprised that the game hasn't even been announced for North America yet. I am too to be honest. I also want Disaster: Day of Crisis and Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land (or whatever the hell its called), neither look like they will come out here.

EasyDenise is EasyCure's hot drag queen alter ego?

The west isn't better either. SO. MUCH. GREY. And Brown.

Apparently, IGN has confirmed through Tecmo that Fatal Frame IV will NOT be coming to North America, as Nintendo owns the publishing rights and has decided not to bring it over here.

Frack you, Nintendo.  It's stuff like this that has me really tempted to get rid of my Wii for good...

And Nintendo wonders why 3rd Party Publishers are so reluctant to put anything decent on the Wii, when they're withholding 3rd party games they publish from North America for no apparent reason.

First Project H.A.M.M.E.R
Then, Disaster: Day of Crisis
Now, Fatal Frame 4.

Who is killing these games?

In all fairness, Fatal Frame 4 is the only game on that list generally considered good (or at least playable.  H.A.M.M.E.R. never really got off the ground if I remember correctly).

Having played Disaster: Day of Crisis I can tell you that it's actually not that bad. Not that great either since it does get pretty repetitive, but far from unplayable.

Also, I don't buy this.

I have a tough time buying the "repetitive" argument cuz video games.

Yes.

You guys should read this

I still think the game will come to the US, one way or another. And all the crap fest will be swallowed shut.

I now officially consider Marvelous, XSEED, and Sega as "major third party support."

Capcom, Square, Konami, and Namco have been de-listed for 'tarding-out.
