Xenoblade. It is coming.

[RatRace123]

Well, looks like NoA has finally decided to...
Let the rain fall.


Alright alright, that was pretty bad I know. I just never got the chance to do that before.
Still, good news. I'm not usually a fan of JRPGs, but from what I've seen of this one it may warrant looking into, if only to show Nintendo that games like it can find a market here.

I really REALLY hope that Nintendo isn't yanking our chains.

A couple of sources. A quick google search will yield some results.

Uh... If you're going to post about it couldn't.. couldn't -you- do that?

Gamestop of all places are the ones bringing it stateside. Only at Gamestop will it be available.

Here's hoping it shows up in Canada too. GameStop.ca doesn't have a listing for it yet.

But if I have to import it from the States, I will.

Oh it had damn better be available up here in Canada too. I want that game.

I'm assuming they will be pulling a Demon's souls maneuver, so I'm probably gonna preorder it before it goes out of stock.

Here I am hoping Mother (Earthbound in America) 1, 2, and 3 would be brought to America, with the exception of Mother 2 being out in SNES years ago, and they decide to give people this game. What? I don't have a problem with Xenoblade. I would rather play the Mother games since after playing Super Smash Bros. and watching LPs of the games, I want to play this game. That and this came before Xenoblade Chronicles.

And no, I don't want to use an emulator. It's more fun to play on my systems.

I'm not the nightly news. I'm more like fox news. Chances are I don't care what I'm reporting about and are to lazy to check my sources.

I'm with this guy.

Is it so hard for NoA to just leave the name as Xenoblade?

Yes, it is. You will also get a big burly man holding a portal gun as the box art too.

OT: If this rumour is true (the OP is kinda sketchy refusing to give up his foolproof sort) I am happy for all you Americans. I know all too well how horrible it is to never get the games I want. The Tales series rarely gets European releases...

The OP doesn't care about Xenoblade in the slightest....

 

[CrystalShadow]

Source please.
Not that i really care, i live in the UK.
Just be nice to those other people!

I concur. It's nice for people in the US and all, so by all means give them some proper information.

Meanwhile, I'll just go with the fact that Nintendo of Europe already released Xenoblade last month, and the release of The last story is imminent. (As well as Pandora's tower, which I think might have been another one of those titles.)

Really, given that all of this requires an English translation anyway, the reaction of NOA is bizarre.

Nintendo of Europe thought nothing of localising and releasing these games (with the inherent problem of multi-language support for the EU), yet Nintendo of America said it can't be bothered?

What's with that exactly?

NOA is by far the part of Nintendo that most makes them look like total assholes...

I'm still not sure why it's even called that when Monado was the working title and nothing in-game is ever called Xeno-anything.

So you just wanted attention, then.

Pretty much.

They decided to call it Xenoblade to honor Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi who poured his soul into making it.......I still don't know why.
