Ah, good old Nintendo/Square Enix. Always screwing the US VC as usual.
_{tread carefully — TBD}

I thought it was called "Cut the Cheese"...I guess not.

Oh give me a frikin' break! Super Mario Galaxy 2's music didn't beat Crap of Duty's soundtrack!? Don't make me laugh! Isn't COD a fish anyway?

15 days left - 360 hours - 21,600 minutes, which would make it only 31,104,000 seconds left to go. 31,104,000.....31,103,999....31,103,998....
31,103.997......

@ WhiteLayer, I wouldn't be surprised if all this was a cruel joke; they just announced it to get our hopes up only to crush them the next day.

Oh sure, make the rest of the nation suffer! Thanks a lot sarcasm!

....Only to skip the US Virtual Console altogether. Now bring Lufia 2, Star Ocean (translated) and Tales of Phantsia and my life will be complete.

Facebook games = fail games.

@ Pyrodon, They wear masks to prevent the spread of disease; Japan is a very health-conscious country. Even when they have something as simple as a cold, the will wear masks.

Aaaaaaaand it'll probably be another half decade before this is released in the US. Go fig.

Can I call it "My Little Baby from Hell"? The one on the top will give me nightmares.

Final Fantasy VI? Wow. Hell really DID freeze over! What happened, did someone bribe the CEO of Square Enix? I'm thinking someone bribed Satoru Iwata as well. Now if only someone would bribe Reggie Fils-Aime, there will be much rejoicing. The PSX port sucked, by the way; heavily compressed sound effects, long loading times and cheesy FMVs. At least it didn't suffer the horrible fate of Final Fantasy V's Engrish.

Oh, come on! Star Fox Adventures wasn't THAT bad! If they changed Tricky's voice on the other hand, it would be deemed a fantastic game! I personally like the aura of the game as a whole, especially in the Krazoa Palace.

Nintendo, allowing a REAL game to be released on the Virtual Console? What happened, did Hell freeze over? http://static.funnyjunk.com/pictures/hellfrozeover.jpg

@SolarJetman, I don't think some titles need to be directly translated; if you translated Shin Megami Tensei for example, you'd get "New Goddess Reincarnation", which would be weird. I do agree with mickeymac, that they need to localize these game outside Japan. If not, I'm importing it and playing it on my non-Japanese Wii. Luckily I can read the language, so it shouldn't be that bad to play it in the US.

Now you've said it, I have no choice but to post this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBUeINW_3s&feature=related

Apparently, Kirby's Epic Yarn is partly to blame for Nintendo's alleged decision to not release it outside Japan - http://www.vg247.com/2011/01/20/3ds-and-kirbys-epic-yarn-partly-to-blame-for-the-last-story-releasing-only-in-japan/ Uh-huh. Nothing like seeing asininity at it's finest. Way to go Nintendo.

@FuzzyYellowBalls, oh, I'm sure people will crack the region lock faster than the people who cracked Windows XP. Just sayin'.

What about turning the 3D effects off? Will that increase the battery life to 5 hours?

WTF is a moggie?

@Varoennauraa, yes, by not releasing Xenoblade and The Last Story, it just makes hacking/piracy that much more appealing IMHO.

See, these are the types of asinine decisions that tick me off; first Nintendo announces that the 3DS is region locked, and now this. Pure asininity at its finest. If Nintendo wants to solve these so-called "piracy" or "illegal" related issues, they need to release these games in the US, make the 3DS region free, and moreover, to stop making dumb decisions.
