Title: Rumor: NTSC Xenoblade done, The Last Story in progress

Source: NTSC Xenoblade Done, The Last Story In Progress
NTSC Xenoblade Finished Prior to E3 Nintendo of America Sitting on Announcement

July 7, 2011

American localization of Xenoblade is complete, The Last Story is currently being translated to English for an American release, but there is no word on Pandora’s Tower localization. This information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall today from a source within Nintendo who wishes to remain anonymous. There is currently no indication of when Nintendo of America plans to formally announce these titles.

Last week Nintendo of America told its followers on Facebook and Twitter that it had no plans to bring Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s tower to America “at this time.” Nintendo intentionally left open the possibility of release. Allegedly, the Redmond, WA branch has been working with other branches to bring Xenoblade and The Last Story to North America.

The NSTC version of Xenoblade was completed just over a month ago. Testing for the PAL and NSTC versions of The Last Story are allegedly beginning in around a month. There is currently no word on localization for an NSTC version of Pandora’s Tower.

Remember, this information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall in confidence. Until Nintendo of America makes an announcement there will be no official word of an NTSC release. However, this news has increased our hope for a North American release of these games. It could also explain why retailers like Amazon continue to have Xenoblade (Monado: Beginning of the World) listed on their website.

Make of this information what you will, but after much internal discussion Operation Rainfall believed it would be best to share this information with our followers. Consider this our announcement of a forthcoming announcement.

Help us keep the pressure on Nintendo, and hopefully we will get a formal announcement of Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower sooner rather than later.

If true... :o :o :o

Post by: choco parfait on July 07, 2011, 09:45:43 PM: Of course! Nintendo was just being coy with its fanbase all this time! It had all the games they've been demanding primed and ready all along! They're just waiting for the right moment to go...

"Psyche! We actually already translated and are about to release all these games you've been demanding, but we've been messing with you this entire time, no hard feelings!"

Wow Andrex thanks for pointing it out to us :lol

Its obviously a troll, is the gaf thread excited about this? I can't wait to taste bitter tears :drool

I just thought I'd post my official position here so I wouldn't get lumped into those Rainfall yanks later.

The chance that I would buy something that sounds like a Korean light SUV is about the same.

Post by: cool breeze on July 08, 2011, 12:31:23 AM: The Last Story looks a lot more interesting than Xenoblade, in that The Last Story looks interesting and Xenoblade doesn't.

I didn't finish FFXII or play White Knight and Xenoblade looks comparable to those games. That's probably why.

Except that TLS is a shitty rpg and XB is the highest rated rpg out of Japan this gen.

Everyone here will bitch and moan and bitch and moan and then a year from now they'll talk about how XB was the best rpg they've played since the PS1 days.

But what if it comes with a shiny red classic controller like it does in euroland? :hyper

...honestly BAILOUT is the right mentality to have towards the Wii at the moment and the real surprise is that NoE is bothering wth any of this stuff.

Post by: cool breeze on July 09, 2011, 01:23:24 AM: this is neither here nor there: before playing a game on the Wii just now, I checked to see how long it's been since it has last been plugged in. January 8th for 33 minute to play Super Mario World. Wii :bow2

I don't even know what disc is in my Wii at present. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Maybe Monster Hunter Tri? It hasn't been powered on in nearly a year, of that I'm quite certain.

I have played a Wii a lot more recently than that, but that's because my friend only had a Wii until I recently convinced her to buy a 360. Oscar, fixing Japan, one citizen at a time.

You'll never fix me Oscar! :wag

How much has the 360 sold in Japan anyways?

Post by: magus on July 09, 2011, 01:41:49 PM: i haven't plugged my wii since buying a 360 the last christmas

haha

I remember the last time I was going to turn on my wii (before The Last Story, which gave a week of Wii use) was to play Metroid Other M last August. Then I heard the game sucked so I didn't bother. Haven't touched the system since.

Post by: iconoclast on July 09, 2011, 02:59:13 PM: Other M is only terrible if you - for whatever insane reason - care about Samus or the story in Metroid. Otherwise it's an okay babby's first action game.

Yeah, pretty much, although the cutscenes, story, and voicework are still kind of painful regardless. The actual game itself is...okay, but feels more like a B-tier effort from a B-tier developer than what you'd expect from a console release of a well-known, well-loved Nintendo franchise.
