Nintendo UK says there is “high interest” for Xenoblade Chronicles
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The fate of a possible North American Xenoblade Chronicles localization lies in the hands of European consumers. Earlier today, Reggie Fils-Aime said that Nintendo of America will be monitoring the game once it hits the region later this month.
It’ll be a few weeks before we know how it sells in Europe (it’ll be most important to see how it does in the long run), but at least Nintendo UK believes it can succeed. Marketing assistant Vanisha Kavia recently said that although it’s “a nice franchise”, fans have shown “high interest” in the title.
“Xenoblade is a niche franchise in the UK and will appeal to RPG and JRPG fans, especially those who enjoyed Monster Hunter Tri on Wii. There is a lot of high interest from fans on this title as it is a European exclusive.”

Reggie: We’ll be watching Xenoblade Chronicles closely in Europe
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
There’s still a small glimmer of hope that Xenoblade Chronicles will be released in North America. Reggie Fils-Aime commented directly on the possibility of localization, explaining that they’ll be looking to see how the title performs in Europe.
Fils-Aime said:
“We will be watching very closely what happens in Europe. Certainly if there are business opportunities and positive consumer uptake from some of those titles, that will be great data for us to consider as we look at what to do with these titles.”
If you ask me, that’s kind of unfair. Reggie seems to hint that Xenoblade Chronicles could be brought over if the game sells well in Europe, but I don’t see why Nintendo of America should base any decision on that alone. There have quite a few titles that have sold better in the Americas in Europe. Heck, that response could just be a means to quiet the fans for now…
Why do I get the feeling that this doesn’t change anything and that we’ll never see the game in the states?
