It seems there is still hope for Xenoblade (Monado) to come to the west (at least to US).
"Monado: Beginning of the World, which was the original title for Xenoblade, is still listed on Nintendo’s 2011 release calendar for the U.S., along with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Both games’ release periods are listed as “TBA” (to be announced)."

What do you think guys? Xenoblade not so far from the United States after all?

If it doesn't come then Nintendo will have truly fallen for me this gen. Wish that studio would have went to Sony. Not to a company that thinks Kirby is hard to translate for Europe.

It only sold 150k units in Japan. Hopelly, an America and Europe release may help to rise those mediocre sales for this awesome game.

I think your misrepresenting their thoughts myself. I thought that on the Last Story thread and I think it here. I interpret it as being we are launching Kirby and Mario Sports Mix and so we aren't going to talk about Last Story or Xenoblade.

It's funny how it keeps appearing on the US release calendar and how press keep saying it might come to the US, whereas people who claim to be "in the know" keeping saying it's Europe that it's probably coming to because it's currently getting translated for there.
