Any of you guys ever heard of the Starfy series? They are a really good series of 2D Platformers that, outside of the 5th game (And weakest in the series), were never released in North America or Europe (And Europe never got them at all). You should check them out if you have a chance.

What is this ‘Starfy’ and why should I want Nintendo to spend their time and money localising it?

I've seen screenshot's of ''Starfy''.
It's like mario, but badly made.

This.

I looked them up and apparently the first few are on GBA so I doubt NoA will be going back to those and localising them, if they did they may as well have made WarioWare Twisted available in Europe.

Very good games which NoA were too stupid to localize, and had a bad excuse to boot for not localizing them (The said they were "Too Japanese").

‘Too Japanese’ sounds like a pretty good reason to me. The majority of stuff that comes from Japan is weird and stupid. Their culture is all wrong.

Surely it can't be as Japanese as the WarioWare games are, some of the Japanese references [eg origiri/rice balls] still slip in the English releases; unless you're a closet weeaboo most people wouldn't have an idea on what that stuff is.

There is something more Japanese than both of them which they localized: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hcElGydzb8

...WHAT. If they can localize THAT, they sure as heck can localize the Starfy series. They were just too lazy and cheap.

Oh gosh...I knew what that video would be BEFORE I watched it. Is this what dying feels like?

It's actually not stupid, it's just very weirdly wrong.

I doubt it's very worth going all the way back to re-publish them somewhere else. I doubt it'll happen either.

Why they localized Muscle March though is beyond me.

Yeah, seriously? Hypocrites.

I’ve only watched five seconds of that Muscle March video and I’m already convinced that it’s one of the worst games ever.

They definitely shouldn’t have localised it. Or released it in the first place.

What sort of drugs were they on when they localized it?

Still not as bad as E.T. and Superman 64.

Yes, ever seen AVGN?

You know, someone started a Let's Play of Superman 64, and it almost doesn't seem as bad as Daikatana.

And don't forget about Awesome Possum!
