Forums - Nintendo - The Last Story and Pandora's Tower hinted at for Europe

Xen on 24 June 2011

That's a dumb rumor.
Anyway... confirm, deny... or... die?

I think I'll go with shut it instead of "die" :P

If Solatorobo can get a release date in Europe, there's absolutely no reason why NoE wouldn't decide to bring those games over as well. As far as I know NoE is allowed to make some choices aside from the obvious games that get released worldwide anyway.

I thought it was the opposite, that NoE wasn't allowed to make choices, and NoA was, which allows them to pass on anything they deem too niche, while NoE is under NCL's more direct control

Well, NOE got to make choices with Disaster: Day of Crisis and Another Code.

NOA is oblivious of several unlocalized games.

Solatorobo, man. Solatorobo.

This is a game about floating islands inhabited by dogs and cats or something like that. The only way it makes sense that this game is coming over at all is NoE deciding it was worth a shot. Why so, I have no clue. It doesn't get more niche than this.

But anyway, I am quite sure that NoE is allowed to make some picks every now and then, since quite a long time actually. It's also the reason why Europe got Terranigma back in the mid '90s while America did not.

I meant more in terms of which Nintendo-made games get localized. I imagine all three branches have discretionary power over what non-Nintendo made games they have the power to choose to publish. Geist i'm guessing was all NoA's doing, and NCL did Goldeneye 007 recently

As Soriku said, if you look at Nintendo's facebook page all the recent comments are absolutely swamped with demands for The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, and Xenoblade

It's actually rather amusing. Nobody's paying any attention to what Nintendo is actually posting, and just using all their status updates as demanding spots

I'll join them. You should too. 500 comments on a story about Mario and Sonic 2012 that are almost completely about Xenoblade

I don't have to join them. For one, I live in Europe, so I'll probably get those games anyway and two, I can't be bothered to create a Facebook account for reason number one.

I wasn't directly addressing you, rather a call to arms for those able to answer it.

I was just amused at the phenomenon
