YESSS!!! Finally. I had no doubt this would come over. Waiting for a NA announcement now.

I'm curious what the release date for the localizations will be once it is finally announced.  Right now I'm assuming that both Xenoblade and TLS will come over to the states at some point but how late Xenoblade releases in the year will give a good indication of how long TLS is going to take.  My bet would be that TLS will not release in the West in 2011.

LIES!!!

Though you're probably right. Xenoblade in September, TLS in March anyone? Then likely DQX in November next year, with ToG slotted in neatly somewhere...

Not bad.

I don't think there's a shot in hell for ToG, all we've seen announced for localization is ToG:F and I really have my doubts that they'll either put the work in to make the Wii version ToG:F or localize an obviously worse version of the same game at the same time.

If the game was going to be PS3 exclusive I think they would've already confirmed that and put on their site for the ToGF entry PS3 already instead of "TBA" and now "Coming soon!"

Perhaps, or maybe they just haven't decided quite yet, or they want to drum up excitement by leaving the platform unannounced for a while.  There are more explinations than just "it's multiplatform".  Hell they might be porting it to 360 for a Western release similar to FFXIII.  If I were you I'd keep your hope low.

There's no reason for them to spend extra porting the money to 360 and not do the slight tweaks necessary on the existing Wii version which, except for a few costumes and other extra junk, is precisely the same as the PS3 version right down to the assets

It's them leaving money on the table if they don't put a Wii version out, because it's still a Wii product at the fundamental level, 360 would make far less sense because they would actually have to do work to get that over, but if you have the PS3 version translated, that means you have the Wii version, except for a few assets that would be beyond painlessly easy to port over, and it would make no sense not to release both

The only issue is that this is Bandai-Namco, so the nonsensical is ever possible
