I guess this'd make sense since the Wii version wasn't released in the US either.
Ahh I almost forgot about this, will definitely be getting it on PS3 anyway.

The Wii version was released in the US, SuperLink...

I'm disappointed in this, especially since the game was already localised in English. Wouldn't be the first time a game is localised exclusively in English for the European market, see the recent Tales of the Abyss, though I do not condone such a way of marketing such big titles. That being said, importing is an option for me, so it's not as much a big deal as it is to other Wii users I guess...

I'd actually say the blame probably lies with Marvelous, and it may come down to licensing costs...but it's still really bad because the first Wii game did well here!

First no Luminous Arc 3, now no Rune Factory 2 Wii...

What a shame. I'm currently playing Rune Factory Frontier and really enjoying it, so I would have likely picked this one up as well. Oh well, guess I'll wait for the next instalment in the series to get a localisation then.

The PS3 version might still be coming to Europe SirLink, you never know. Since you have a shiny new PS3, you could wait for a PAL release of Tides of Destiny on PS3 here.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of the PS3 version. Almost forgot one existed too, just like of Tales of Graces f which I'm really looking forward to. Quite a trend we're seeing here, with Wii RPGs getting PS3 releases instead.

I'm a little bit disappointed but its hard to be mad at rising star, if you look back on what they have released on wii they are easily the 2nd best publisher after nintendo.
