EDIT: I sent an email to Nintendo and I got my reply on Animal Crossing Wii:
Nintendo
As you may have heard, Animal Crossing Wii has been announced in Japan.
So far, there hasn't been an official announcement of a release
outside of that market.
There are many reasons that Nintendo or any other Japanese publisher
may decide to release a game solely for the Japanese market. These can
include difficulty or cost of localization, the size and financial
strength of the publisher, and (most often) the idea that the game will
simply not be accepted or enjoyed in other markets.
However, there are (like you) real fans of those games or franchises in
this market who would love nothing more than to see these games on
store shelves here. I understand (and sometimes even share) your
frustration! Having said that, please understand that those fans constitute a
very small portion of the gaming public, too small to justify the costs
associated with bringing a game here.
Of course, you never know what the future holds, as evidenced by the
appearance in this market of previously Japan-only franchises like
Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.
