Pariz, I'm also hoping for Xenoblade/Last Story localisation. I'm not sure what Nintendo paid for Monolith Soft, but I expect they'll be wanting some return on their investment, and the majority of the Wii userbase is outside Japan. They'll have to take Xenoblade to the West to get a good profit, I expect. Last Story also seems to be months away from release in Japan, but I also think it's a big investment from Nintendo, they own the IP after all and a couple years back Iwata was talking about having a big RPG series to rival Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
But there's a simple reason why these titles weren't announced during the conference or on the show floor-they'd get lost going up against established and hyped brands like Zelda, the 3DS unveil and of course the return of Donkey Kong Country and Kirby. There's plenty of time for these titles to reappear. Nintendo didn't show Pikmin 3 for fear of it getting overlooked because of other titles. As new IPs, Xenoblade and Last Story need plenty of exposure of their own, away from the shadows of colossi such as Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby and 3DS-not to mention all the other titles exhibited at E3, so that there's plenty of focus on them and not just an afterthought. If they're overlooked at E3 that could be reflected when they come to market-many people would miss out and Nintendo would miss out on sales.
