hes most likely worried that if nintendo releases a game that leaves a bad taste the masses will stop swallowing their first party releases blindly.
Bwuh? If it doesn't have Mario on the cover I'm pretty sure the masses don't "swallow their first party releases blindly." Can you name me a game that sold "to the masses" that doesn't have Mario on it? WiiPlay doesn't count because everyone knows you buy that game for the extra remote.

Not that I care to get in the middle of the argument, but yeah.
Just trust me when I say this game is amazing fun. The finale of the game is the most tense, awesome thing ever:
Fist fight with the main antagonist on a ship which has a nuclear weapon on board IN THE EYE OF A HURRICANE.
I read the spoiler. Kinda wish I hadn't as now I really fucking want to play it.
It gets better than that, trust me. Even though that's the final fight, you obviously have some other issues to deal with even after the enemy is dealt with. Minor spoiler, if you've read the one above it won't hurt:
You have to go down into the decks and disarm the nuke. Dying, the enemy blows a hole in the ship. The ship is flooding and the nuke is in the lowest levels. You have to rush down and disarm the nuke with the water rising and the nuke counting down from 5 minutes. You're instructed how to disarm over a radio by another character who has the know-how, and the instructions actually come through the Wii Remote speaker, so you have to lean in and listen to your remote as you twist the remote to unscrew the casing and cut cables and stuff.
Ray truly is having a bad day; terrorists, nuclear weapon, earthquake, tsunami, firestorm, eruption, forest fire, ash rain, mudslide, flood, hurricane, and wheel of fortune re-runs. All happening in a single day.
Oh balls, that actually sounds fun. Curse you, Nintendo of America being too sensitive to things of a political nature! (Supposedly the main objection was that the government turned out to be eeeeevil or somesuch.)

In a way. The terrorists actually turn out to be a US military group who were betrayed by the government. They did some missions then the government tried to have them removed and stuff as their knowledge of what went on was a liability. The terror plot is a way of exacting revenge.
All I've found out so far that the story is all over the place (in a totally good way). I'm really digging this game, it's one of the more fun games I've played on the Wii. I feel kinda bad for getting it for only €20, it's really worth a lot more. There's just something ridiculously fun about playing a total B-movie.
And yeah, the reason Reggie doesn't want to bring it stateside is because of the implicit criticism on the American government, which is a pity, but in the end understandable I guess.
The thing is the game wasn't 'released' in Europe so much as just dropped out of the door like "oh here's this new game now DON'T FORGET ANIMAL CROSSING IN A MONTH!" No ads, no nothing. Red Consultancy (NoE's PR company) were only sent like 20 copies of the game to send out for review. It's nuts. I think if the game was.... y'know, advertised - it'd do very well, as this has the same kind of mass market appeal Resi 4 did.
Heh, I completely missed this thread. I just watched a trailer on Youtube, and it looks totally awesome. Sad to see that European-exclusive games don't really get any exposure - every few months, when I go into town I usually see like 3 or 4 new adventure games I've never heard of. I'll see if I can pick this up; I haven't bought a Wii game since Okami.

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.

Like I said, it's a lot like 24 the game except good. There's a real-time element, terrorists, nuclear weapons and other terror attacks, rescues, a kidnapping and a government conspiracy.
As far as importing goes, it's fairly easy to play now thanks to the Homebrew Channel - there's a region booter you can get for that which lets you boot games from any region.

So basically this game is Metal Gear Solid?
Sounds more like "The Rock"
