After already 5+ months of localization with another 1 or 2 left (if it were to be released in August) you  don't believe it will be released before september? Why.... Lol

Also, SMT x FE will b e 2016 for the west. However, it was stated it was Winter 2015 for Japan.


I made an edit, because I realized it could still make it for 2015, so that would be a holiday release.

Localization takes a long time and with such a big game, I don't think they are able to release it so soon.

With SMTxFE being in 2016, it could allow for another Wii U game to be squeezed into holiday 2015, assuming that Star Fox is being released this year.

It does take a long time. However, (assuming an August release date and they've been working on localization since December at the earliest) 7 months + them saying localization is going very well, I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume it won't release any later than sept. They would not wait till 2016 to release and with Star Fox U for the holidays (plus maybe an unnanounced title, like Captain Toad which was revealed at E3 and released in december) I doubt it'll be released in the holidays.

Yeah, I'm assuming that Star Fox is still being released in holiday 2015, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Xenoblade can't be either...

It's very unlikely they would release their two most anticipated titles of 2015 for the Holidays (novem to dec). As in so close together.

If they want a stellar 2015 holiday, they could try that... but it's just my guess, so I could be wrong.

I would really like to see it released in August, but I'm just pessimistic about that.. :/

I feel like the holiday will be pretty amazing with just Star Fox. But if both released then, I feel like that would hurt the individual sales of them rather than help.

july or august. june if nintendo feels like a troll.



Goodnightmoon on 27 April 2015

I think is coming first to US, because here on europe we have Yoshi on June for some very suspicious reason. So I would say is possible in July for US, and God knows when on Europe (U_u)



gergroy on 27 April 2015

My guess is November with a high chance of slipping into 2016

"Games like this tend to come out 2-3 months after the Japan release"

Really? Jrpgs tend to come out 2-3 months after the Japanese release? News to me...



HylianYoshi on 27 April 2015

Nah, XenobladeX has much much more to be worked on before localization. They were still using Japanese footage for the showcase. I think it'll be the Nov. title, with Star Fox in October, or vice versa.



bet: lost

I meant games in this situation. It's on the Wii U, it is needed badly etc etc. However, you seem to disregard the fact localization has been in progress for 5 months minnimum.
