"Operation Rainfall" Localization Campaign!





Just throwing our bit of fuel on this fire.

Will it work? Maybe. Maybe not. And hey, if you don't have anything encouraging to say, there's already enough pessimism surrounding these titles, so, we don't need to hear it!

But, if you want to TRY (y'know, the opposite of doing nothing), then please join us and let's at least earn the right to complain if I doesn't work out!



XENOBLADE:
Send a polite letter, pointing out the need for the game.
Optional Item: miniature toy sword or cocktail sword
Target Date: July 11-13, 2011
(plan your letters to arrive around the 6th, not to ship on the 6th)

Below is a letter template, but feel free to write your own, just try to be polite if possible.


Dear Reggie,

As a fan of your company and of RPGs, I was extremely excited about the reveal of Monado which was later retitled Xenoblade. After it's reveal at E3 2008 it quickly became one of my most anticipated games for the Wii, and as more information, screens, and trailers were released my interest only expanded. I am deeply concerned that this game has no North American release planned, especially considering the sparse lineup on the Wii in the next year. I have been a loyal fan of this company for many years, and yet there hasn't been a game worth getting on your console for nearly 8 months... and nothing on the horizon to be excited about besides Skyward Sword, and yet Xenoblade sits completed, and soon to be localized for Europe in English. Please consider your company's fans, please bring Xenoblade to us.

Sincerely,
(your name here - signed)




THE LAST STORY:
Send a polite letter, pointing out the need for the game.
Optional Item: the last page/chapter of a book
Target Date: July 18-20, 2011
(plan your letters to arrive around the 13th, not to ship on the 13th)

Below is a letter template, but feel free to write your own, just try to be polite if possible.


Dear Reggie,

As a fan of your company and of RPGs, I was extremely excited about the reveal of the Last Story. Being a fan of Mistwalker and Hironobu Sakaguchi, it quickly became one of my most anticipated games for the Wii, and when the gorgeous art and impressive screens and trailers were released I only became more excited for the game. I am deeply concerned that this game has no North American release planned, especially considering the sparse lineup on the wii in the next year. I have been a loyal fan of this company for many years, and yet there hasn't been a game worth getting on your console for nearly 8 months... and nothing on the horizon to be excited about besides Skyward Sword, and yet the Last Story sits completed. Please consider your company's fans, please bring the Last Story to us.

Sincerely,

PANDORA'S TOWER:
Send a polite letter, pointing out the need for the game.
Optional Item: a piece of dried meat (Beef Jerky, Slim Jims, etc.)
Target Date: July 25-27, 2011
(plan your letters to arrive around the 20th, not to ship on the 20th)

Below is a letter template, but feel free to write your own, just try to be polite if possible.


Dear Reggie,

As a fan of your company and of games like Castlevania, I was extremely excited about the reveal of Pandora's Tower. From the initial cryptic reveal, to the delightfully twisted plot details that followed, I have been craving this game all year. I am deeply concerned that this game has no North American release planned, especially considering the sparse lineup on the Wii in the next year. I have been a loyal fan of this company for many years, and yet there hasn't been a game worth getting on your console for nearly 8 months... and nothing on the horizon to be excited about besides Skyward Sword, and yet Pandora's Tower sits completed. Please consider your company's fans, please bring Pandora's Tower to us.

Sincerely,
