Nintendo of Europe made a surprising announcement about a month ago that Xenoblade Chronicles will be hitting store shelves this year. Gamers in North America, however, are still waiting for a localization confirmation.

If Nintendo of America is planning on releasing the title, we won’t be hearing anything official until E3. There is a small hint, though, that it will be brought stateside. Peter Dickson, a voice actor working on the European release, posted the following information on his website:

“Peter has been cast as the Emperor Sorean – the leader of the High Entia in the cult Nintendo RPG Xenoblade Chronicles. The game will be released Autumn 2011 in UK, Europe and USA. Peter is thrilled to have played such a leading role in a massively successful Nintendo title.”

Keep in mind that nothing has been confirmed yet, and it’s certainly possible that Dickson simply assumed that the game will ship in North America. Again, we’ll have to wait until E3 before we know the fate of Xenoblade in North America.

In other news, Dickson said on his Twitter account a few weeks ago that Xenoblade will launch in Europe this September. Adam Howden, voice actor for Shulk, seems to be in agreement. Nintendo of Europe has yet to confirm the game’s release date.

Tales of the Abyss 3DS was confirmed for North America just a few days ago, so it would be a shame if Namco Bandai neglected to bring the game over to Europe as well. Fortunately, the game will indeed see a worldwide release. The PS2 port has been given a general “Spring 2012” timeframe for release in Europe according to NGamer. That’s quite a bit later than the game’s launch in North America, though I suppose we should be pleased that Namco Bandai is localizing the game for all territories.

Much of the speculation surrounding Project Cafe indicates that the system’s controller will contain a screen, which could be used to stream games and other content. E3 is still a few weeks away, so we’re going to have to wait just a bit longer for Nintendo’s unveiling of the console. Be sure to check out a new round of Project Cafe mockup images below – most of which feature the console’s controller – as we continue to count down to E3.

The Wii edition of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was pretty much an abomination. So it’s probably a good thing that EA is switching developers for the latest title in the franchise. Firebrand Games, well-known for their work on Trackmania for Nintendo platforms, is creating the Wii and 3DS versions of “The Run.” Firebrand certainly knows how to make a quality racer, so that should bode well for the latest Need for Speed games on Wii/3DS.

If trusted Japanese blog Sinobi is to be believed, Nintendo won’t be shipping many copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in Japan. The initial shipment batch is expected to be “extremely small” and stock availability will be limited for all retailers. To make matters worse, Nintendo is not taking game orders from any store.

For such a legendary franchise, this sounds odd, doesn’t it? One theory is that Nintendo is looking to avoid a quick price reduction, similar to the situation with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. That title landed in bargain bins not too long after release.

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
