So, just because Nintendo had 3 Japanese Directs for this game three months before its release, some of you are now assuming that the same "logic" will happen for NA, right? Just to know, when was the last time Nintendo released one of its major titles in July/August?

More on topic, it's a shame that this is NA only. Shibata, I hope your guys are working hard on the translation of this game!

The game is already finished. what's so surprising about getting released soon after japan?

It's not about it being released soon, but about the logic of expecting the same pattern that happened in Japan (three Xenoblade X Directs starting three months before release) and therefore assuming that it would get launched in July.

Besides that, my only "but" would be that given the Zelda delay, Nintendo doesn't have any big title for Xmas, and Xenoblade could fill that gap perfectly. By the way, that's when I think Nintendo will launch the game in Europe.

I haven't seen people expecting exactly 3 directs but there's also nothing wrong in thinking it will release 2 or 3 months after this direct.

"my only "but" would be that given the Zelda delay, Nintendo doesn't have any big title for Xmas, and Xenoblade could fill that gap perfectly."

Not gonna happen, regardless of what games nintendo will release in november.
