Now this is an interesting little movement.
I don't know how many of you follow Nintendo's localization records, but it has been pretty piss poor this generation. Finally, it seemed like gamers in the States have had enough and combined their efforts to get Nintendo to bring over Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower.
In general, these type of fan movements have had little effect due to them simply being like an online petition of some sort, but this operation has done things differently using the power of the internet.
They pushed Xenoblade to the number 1 game on Amazon.com through pre-orders, bombarded Nintendo of America's Twitter and Facebook page, sent snail mail to Reggie's offices in Seattle.
Anyhow, here is more about the movement and Nintendo's less than stellar track record this gen.
