Despite Nintendo’s statement saying that Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower will not be released in North America (for now at least), Operation Rainfall is still going strong. Fans continue to write on Nintendo of America’s Facebook page and send in emails.

Last week, the movement added a new tactic to their campaign: letters sent through the mail. However, Nintendo is simply sending out a plain, blanket letter in response.

Xenoblade – Beta Footage (Spoilers?)

Edit: Apparently I’m once again forbidden from embedding Youtube videos. Gonna have to talk to Valay… Haha.

You can watch it here in the meantime. I wasn’t really too interested in Xenoblade, but after seeing the atmosphere here I’m a lot more stricken with grief that we have no official North American release date!

This is footage from a piece of map that didn’t make it into the final game, being played on a Wii emulator. Looks great, but there could technically be some spoilers in here!
