I've been trying to hold onto my faith that we'll see THE LAST STORY and XENOBLADE here, but some people are already suggesting that they won't.  Anyone still believe we'll see these two here?

Not sure why you needed a new thread for this when you could just continue any oen of the others.

BUT...to answer your question.  Yes.  I am 100% certain both will see extra-Japanese releases.

You don't trademark something in a bunch of other countries without intent to use.

Parts of TLS were already in English, but Xeno im not too sure of. E3 will determine many things; I do think Xenoblade will hit America within 1-3 months of E3. TLS is gonna take just as long to localize as Xeno did.

You know what, I'll be bold and say The Last Story will not release in Europe until January 2013 when it can't sell worth a damn.

I'm thinking they won't at the moment. If they do it will be a nice surprise and I'll be sure to get them. However I'm no longer actively looking forward to them.

If anything it will be xenoblade making it over.

Im not so sure they will. I think we have all realized by now that the only games that really sell well on the wii are nintendo games and those party titles such as just dance. Then again Monster Hunter didn't do too bad on the wii here in the U.S. I guess it depends if Nintendo thinks selling 500k is good enough (i think it is), But knowing Nintendo they want to sell at least a million or two

We'll be lucky if one makes it over. I think this gen will be the last one where Nintendo decides to ignore the Western market. It's time for them to move on from Japan and focus more in the West. Simply looking at userbases makes you wonder what the hell are they thinking when deciding to keep games as Japanese exclusives or even worse, make Japanese oriented games instead of Western games considering the return rates. At least it should be a balanced scenario, but the West got the shaft this gen.

I won't be happy with Nintendo at all if they don't release them.  They are my two most wanted game.

I think this gen is the slow death of the jRPG genre.  Next generation will probably be almost completely absent of the genre - at least stuff releasing in the West.  They will probably be mostly handheld / Japan only.

They will see a release outside Japan.

I will keep reposting this every 4-5 posts just to ensure understanding.

 Xenoblade and TLS to be confirmed at E3, I am pretty sure of that, Pandora´s tower and some other games too... Nintendo is not saying anything about anygame at the time, no zelda, no new mario, no nothing (3DS aside)... So I relly expect to get all this games at E3...
