Xenoblade is confirmed for North America for April.

http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail...H5UTuz4zsz63F4

While I imported, still getting a copy to support the decision.

Maybe if this sells well enough Last Story and Pandora's Tower will get localized as well.

Well, this is my first post and didn't see an introductory thread.

Well, I'm glad to see Nintendo finally came to their senses and is giving us what we wanted.

It should sell well since it had the highest Pre-Orders in Amazon Gaming History, and that was when it wasn't confirmed.

Interesting rumors have started appearing today:

*Note: These are RUMORS. They can be found on Screwattack, Zeldainformer, etc (and no, not posting links, in case they are indeed just that, rumors*

-Gamestop approached Nintendo to localize Xenoblade (hence why it is Gamestop exclusive)

-Gamestop is paying for the localization

-Nintendo is interested in localizing The Last Story, however, it will see how well Xenoblade does.

- (And this is the rough one to believe): Xenoblade pre-orders aren't fairing well at this moment.

****************

That last bit seems off. Xenoblade is currently the third most wanted item on the Gamestop site, and yet other sites claim the pre-orders aren't doing well.

Still, the game was only confirmed on the 2nd, and there is plenty of time until April. Heck, the Nintendo.com ordering doesn't even start until the 19th. As a Gamestop exclusive, I'm sure it'll get coverage from Gamestop soon enough. Plenty of other gaming media out there and plenty of time for them to jump on the promotion train.

Oh, and for clairity: Nintendo.com and Gamestop are the only ways you can get Xenoblade. To ensure your copy, you should pre-order as soon as possible. Don't want to screwed out of it due to it being suddenly "Limited Quantity outside of pre-order" sort of arrangement.

Ah...hopefully they'll have pre-orders for eb games soon then here....

I'll look for the specifics as to how Canada is getting Xenoblade when next I can. [ Canada confirmed last week, btw]. I'll report back when I'm not on via my phone. Think I saw the article on Operation Rainfall's site and fb wall.

Oh..I tried to pre-order yesterday at eb but he said it didn't show up.


But I saw something about it and it sounds like they're releasing it differently in Canada or something...

Hmmm, it appears the article was from Examiner, but it was not specific as to how it will be released.

However, there appear to be 2 alternatives:

1) Pre-order from Nintendo.com on the 19th, and have it ship to Canada.
2) Order from Gamestop.com and have it ship to Canada. May have to pay a little extra, but it's a alternate plan nonetheless and guarantees you a copy.

Additional Comment:

Ebgames.ca is now taking pre-orders for xenoblade. No confirmation as to actual stores yet.

Additional Comment:

Two new items to report:

1-EB stores are looking to have Xenoblade able to be pre-ordered soon. Have heard they're aiming for thursday or monday at latest.

2- With 20 days in so far, Xenoblade is estimated to have close to 60,000 pre-orders in already. Source? Reluctantly, I must say VG Chartz. However, some Rainfall folks have analyzed the claim, and it might not be that farfetched.


Still, not bad, given the circumstances. Once Nintendo, Gamestop, and the gaming media start talking of it, that'll help pick it up.

Additional Comment:

Ok, at this moment, Xenoblade is in EB's store system, but it's tricky to find.However have the clerk find SKU 705128. That is Xeno's code in their system. They are working on making it easier to find, btw.

Time for a bump, methinks.

The Last Story comes out February 24th for Europe.

Pandora's Tower will come out April 13th for Europe.

Xenoblade's current pre-order total is near 110K, and that's just Gamestop's totals.

Additional Comment:

Today, via Nintendo Direct, Reggie confirmed The Last Story for North America. Two down, one to go!

Xenoblade's release date is April 6th as well.

It's worth noting that the game is being published by Xseed with either support or permission from Nintendo. Considering the great work they did on Rune Factory Frontier(one of the best games for the wii imo) and Little King Story, there should be no cause for concern however.

Indeed, we are in good hands with XSeed. Hopefully they'll take up the mantle and help bring over Pandora's Tower as well.

Oh, and The Last Story is slated as "Summer 2012" for the moment.

Additional Comment:

And time for another update:

Gamestop is beginning to take pre-orders for The Last Story and has it slated for release June 20th. As opposed to Xenoblade, it appears that The Last Story will not be certain retailers exclusive, so Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc, should be getting this.

No word if America will get the Limited Edition bundle yet.

Bump time for some new info.

The Last Story at this moment will be released in August. Also, there will be a bonus, an art book.

As for Pandora's Tower, no developments. However, at E3, Operation Rainfall did conduct meetings with publishers about it. Hopefully something will come of this.

Haven't finished Xenoblade but it's not too bad so far ....

Unfortunately, neither a solid date nor month had been announced. Nintendo and XSeed both used "summer". It was originally expected by Amazon for July, but now they are reporting August. Hopefully an exact date will finally be revealed soon.

Finished Xenoblade a few weeks ago. Truly an amazing game. Absolutely worth it.

RPGS are my fav genre but for some reason I keep quitting them then going back to them every so often instead of just finishing them ~.~ (so sometimes I forget the story and where to go )

No need to, it's getting localized, as confirmed today at the Japan Expo and on Tales' Twitter.

Too bad tales games are way too expensive when they come out.

No wonder why people call them a "niche" game....

XSeed has announced that The Last Story will be released August 14th. Also, an additional pre-order bonus, a soundtrack CD.
