Official "Middle Finger" From NOA to the RPG Crowd

[Viper]

XenoBlade opens at number 4 on the Europe charts despite a very low stock to demand ratio.

I've heard rumors that many many people here in the US are just importing the euro version... idk if that could skew numbers much but figure it is worth noting.

The import scene is always small. And with a console that is region locked and requires modding to play non-region games, it's even smaller.

After a freaking month of finding out of stock signs on every import site i can think of finally the game is in stock at Amazon. I guess yet again South Africa is maybe not considered a PAL territory when they said its getting a PAL release? What a bunch of assholes Nintendo are!!! I had to pay extra also for the import. Nice one Nintendo. How anyone could ever be a Nintendo fanboy when they treat their fans like this ill never know. Anyways im looking forward to this game immensely no thanks to Nintendo i might add!!!

I've played 10 hours so far and have only made it to Bionis' Thigh (game starts on Bionis' Shin). The world is seriously huge. it's going to take so long finding every little area.

the game looks really good except for the character's faces (eg. the eyes are just flat images like back in the N64 days).

battles are fun and often hectic. sometimes there's so much happening that you're not sure what's going on. you have to be careful which monsters you fight. some look weak but can really crush you.

luckily the only drawback to losing a battle is you go back to the last checkpoint you passed. all the exp you receive stays so there's no need to worry about getting killed.

the english voice acting is absolutely terrible. good thing they kept the Japanese audio on the disc.

i really hope Nintendo are planning a HD version for WiiU. It would suck for people in NA to not get this game. upping it to WiiU would make up for the current situation.

I'm hearing that several PAL locations are low on stock. Apparently many retailers either ordered too few units or even some didn't order any units at all.

If people continue to harass Nintendo petition, they may give up in the final. They will go "Shurrrup! This is your stupid role-playing, left alone ... we are busy with 9 WII ü party, do we finally have the perfect line of coke off, time for a real party "one controller.
