Xenoblade was released in Europe recently. The game has been said to be undershelved. Could this be in order to help create a buzz of demand for the game? Maybe. It's not important. What's important is that I believe NoA might be using the European release to hype the game here in the west.

My main reason for believing this is the rise in advertising and appearances on gaming websites like IGN that Xenoblade Chronicles has taken on recently. Also, and most importantly, the display of the game on the Wii's Metacritic page. This seems like not a big deal, but a site like Metacritic gets a lot of traffic every day and the Wii hasn't seen a 90+ game in a long while.

Of course I could just be completely off and maybe this is all just a bunch of rubbish! Food for thought.

Stop making excuses for Nintendo, especially NOA.
