Guys, guys. Can we all just agree that Nintendo outside of Japan does a less than stellar job supporting their regions?
If Nintendo really wants to step it up, global parity would be a good place to start. (I actually think they're heading in that direction)

Yall got a physical release of Project Zero, yall got Project Zero 2: Wii Edition (we didn't even get that digitally), yall get an amiibo bundle for Kirby Robobot, yall got better Club Nintendo rewards, and (if memory serves) yall got a physical release of Senran Kagura Burst. Also yall got more than three and a half copies of Devil's Third.
It's Nintendo of Europe making up for all of the Atlus games we still regularly miss out on or get digital only over this side of the pond.

It's all revenge for British Colonialism that didn't really hit Japan but they were quite envious of.

That's actually a valid explanation.

Just got my copy of Starfox Zero. I can confirm that it does come with Starfox Guard. Both games come packaged in a nice outer sleeve that you can open and each game has its own case, Guard is not just a bonus disc inside Zero.

Sweet. I thought this game was releasing in June for some reason. I pre-ordered it on Amazon, so it might be waiting for me when I get home from work tonight.

Mine will probably be at my house a couple hours after I get home. I figure 2 hours of Bravely Second before Starfox Zero is pretty good.

Xenoblade Chronicles (the previously Gamestop exclusive one) is now available on the North American Wii U virtual console for $20. If you were turned off by the high cost of entry, now is the time to get it! I'm playing through Xenoblade Chronicles X right now and I think the first one is vastly superior. X is still good though.

For anyone else who is a little bit too eager, "now available" actually means "will be available after noon, Eastern".
About time NoA released this game. I guess localization took longer than expected... oh wait, no, they just couldn't be bothered.
Re: Wii-U thoughts so far
NOA has done a lot of that why bother stuff since Reggie took over going back into the Gamecube period. There have been many solid titles from their own company, even after being put into english by NoE they've shot down that would have (could have) been quite popular sellers here. Stuff that comes to mind would be things like Doshin the Giant (GC), Disaster and Fatal Frame on the Wii, Cubivore (GC, thanks Atlus!), Animal Crossing on N64, Kuru Kururin (GBA), and there are others. There's NO excuse when your own company does all the work for you and a minimal effort to just ESRB pass it and re-ink the box for your local market is what's needed.
I've picked up quite a few games rom the PAL region (mostly portable) because of this crap which includes the most excellent UK releases of the KOnami GB Collection vol1-3 (I've had all 4 before, anyone got 4? I'll buy it.) Also have the PC conversions of Pinball Dreams/Fantasies as Pinball Challenge Deluxe and Pinball Mania as Pinball Advance both on GBA too.) And I have uncensored Final Fight and Super SF2 on GBA from Japan too.
