I knew about the filing for The Last Story last year.
As for Xenoblade, that one always had a greater chance of a US release since NOA was even touting it on their release schedules. They removed it because they wanted to better schedule it with The Last Story and since NOA wasn't sure when the USPTO was going to grant the trademark, they couldn't be sure when they could release Xenoblade.
Can't find Monado?
