Generally, I don’t feel as though petitions work. Not enough fans support them and there’s a good chance that companies will flat out ignore the outcry from fans. But with North America facing a strong possibility of not receiving Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower, now might be the best time to speak up.

A number of fans starting to participate in a project called “Operation Rainfall”. The objective is simple: write in to Nintendo of America in hopes of getting the trio of RPGs localized. You can read up on the whole idea on the IGN boards here and find letter templates to send in to Reggie Fils-Aime for all three titles. Additionally, a Twitter page can be found here and an official Blogspot website here.

I just can’t understand why the Big N’s North American division hasn’t said a peep about any of these games. They’re finished and Europe is at least getting Xenoblade. Why not bring that title here at least? Instead of launching games such as Mystery Case Files and Wii Motion: Plus – and I respect Nintendo for releasing them, by the way – why not take a chance on any of these outstanding RPGs? The hardcore gamer, frankly, hasn’t been treated to any interesting titles from Nintendo this year. Localizing these Japanese releases could really go a long way.

Although the Wii provided a considerable amount of hardcore experiences, there’s no denying that Nintendo was looking to appeal to more casual gamers. That’s why we saw experiences such as Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Party, and Wii Fit.

For Wii U, however, it seems that Nintendo understands the need to provide more of a hardcore experience. Speaking with EGM, Katsuya Eguchi said that for Wii, “core gamers felt that it wasn’t for them”. This time around, Nintendo would like “to bring core gamers back and create new gamers as well.”

“With the Wii, we wanted to bring in as many new users as possible and have them experience the games, but as a consequence, I think a lot of the core gamers felt that it wasn’t for them, and they started moving away. With the new console and the new controller, we definitely want to bring core gamers back and create new gamers as well. So, with the Wii U, we hope that the players who were introduced to gaming for the first time on the Wii will step it up and become core gamers themselves.”

Zelda: Ocarina of time 3D (3DS)
Star Fox 64 3D (3DS)
Kid Icarus Uprising (3DS)
Rhythm Heaven (Wii)

This is pretty typical of Nintendo. They generally attend this event to give Japanese gamers a chance to play their upcoming games. This year, though, they’re actually brought some product that hasn’t been released yet. Many fans in Japan will be able to play Star Fox 64 3D, Uprising, and Rhythm Heaven for the first time.

Could Europe really end up receiving the trio of recent Wii RPGs? Xenoblade Chronicles is out in September, while Nintendo of France’s Director of Marketing Matthew Minel has provided some encouraging words for those hoping that The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower will be brought over as well. In an interview with Gamekyo, Minel said:

“We’re in the US, so we can’t speak about The Last Story… We hope it’ll be released. We are only allowed to say ‘hope’… Hope is promising… just like with Pandora’s Tower.”

Minel apparently topped off that last statement with an enormous smile. If The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower get localized, I’m moving to Europe!
