Sheesh, everyone is making such a big deal about this Xenoblade game... I suppose I better get it if it gets localized.
Why don't they just give us a straight answer?

Can't wait to play it when it comes!

All this teasing nintendo is giving us is driving me insane, i hope they announce something soon, even if it+s a 2012 release, it would stop all this guessing.

I don't get it why nintendo usa not just localize this game. This is a game for the core gamers they want (and probably will) get with the Wii U. They should not displease the core wii users now.

Thx for the info ;)
Nintendo stop the teasing us, just announce the damn games, I need to buy a new wii because mine is dying, Zelda is worth the purchase but still...

NoA would be stupid to pass this up. But then again they've demonstrated their stupidity on several occasions, so I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't reach the US.

But then again, I live in the U.K so I'm getting it before the year is over. For the first time since Terranigma the PAL territories might be getting a great RPG instead of the US. If this doesn't make it to the US, I'll be forever boasting of course...





Only joking, if Xenoblade Chronicles is even half as good as I've heard, I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on it.

Since it's an european version with multiple subtitles, the UK version is also available, nothing should stop you overseas guys to get it in a few months...

I still think as far as names go Xenoblade>Xenoblade Chronicles>>>Monado but it doesn't really matter as long as we get it the damn thing already. Fortunately for us the game scored a 38/40 with Famitsu so at least we aren't setting ourselves up for a terrible disappointment when we finally play it.

Regarding the release date, it seems possible to me Nintendo is trying to have 2012 labeled as 'the year of the hardcore'* in terms of their support, both on the software and hardware front, in order to do a so called one-two punch against the audience they wish to attract. It's too bad this sort of thing comes at the expense of decent software during 2011...


*starting with Zelda during the holiday season, and continuing with the launch of Wii U (with a hardcore 3rd party line-up) along with several key RPGs (last story, xenoblade etc), Pikmin 3 (!!) as well as DQX later in the year. If Nintendo can get a Starfox or an FZero out during 2012 too, it would be one EPIC year for them.

Interesting theory; Nintendo basically won't have any Wii games on its plate for next year's release schedule, so the least they could do is release both XENOBLADE and THE LAST STORY stateside for 2012, stealthily, if they have to.  Something tells me that may be the case, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I want to play this game
