For those that aren't aware, Nintendo of America has up to this point, left it up to a lot of speculation whether or not RPGs like Xenoblade and The Last Story will be released in North America. There have been other games that have also only been released in Europe or Japan that many think deserve to be in NA. The campaign is mainly for three particular games, but support it to help convince Nintendo to release some great games and give us another reason to buy a Wii, and give those in the States a chance to play these great games that otherwise wouldn't have heard of them.
Plus, no one likes being forced to import just so they can play them.
Let's hope that what happened with Mother 3 doesn't happen here.
