Nintendo of America: Don’t blame us for lack of localized games, no Wii price drop coming, E3 details

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs Denise Kaigler recently shared some interesting information pertaining to the localization of Nintendo games, a Wii price drop (or lack thereof), and some E3 details. Kaigler says that Nintendo of America doesn’t have much say when it comes to bringing titles over to the states. Rather, NCL calls most of the shots. So that’s why North America has missed out on Disaster: Day of Crisis, Soma Bringer, Captain Rainbow, and more. As far as the price of the Wii goes, there is no price drop planned. Lastly, even though Nintendo’s E3 press conference will be held on June 2, it’s possible that the keynote will not take place at the Kodak theater.
