First direct-feed video of Xenoblade in English – over 4 minutes of footage
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii | 0 comments
Update: Swapped out the old video with new footage, which should fix the issue of it freezing at the beginning…
Of course, this is the European/UK version of Xenoblade Chronicles. But it would be fantastic if North America somehow gets this game as well…
Nintendo to comment on missing Japanese Wii games on IGN today
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Last night, Nintendo of America finally responded to the large amount of feedback they’ve been receiving about the lack of Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower news in America. But, admittedly, it was a bit dull. They only told fans to “Look for more updates to come soon”.
That update appears to be coming sooner than originally thought. IGN’s executive Nintendo editor Rich George has revealed on his Twitter account that a more proper response will be provided on their website sometime today:
“Nintendo will have a comment on @OpRainfall ‘Missing Wii games’ movement later today. Stay tuned to @IGN and well have it for you. #myign”
George followed up that remark by saying “Have modest expectations. Don’t start thinking ‘MEGATON!'” and “I think the movement has generated so much publicity that it’s tough not to say something one way or the other.”
Honestly, I have no idea whether this means we’ll be seeing any of these games confirmed for North America. Xenoblade is the most probable candidate to be announced – again, that’s if there even if an announcement – though The Last Story and moreso Pandora’s Tower will likely be staying in Japan for now. Technically, neither title has even been announced for Europe.

Monolith Soft, Mistwalker acknowledge localization campaign
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Monolith Soft and Mistwalker are aware of what’s happening regarding fans’s interest for Nintendo to localize their RPGs. On Twitter, Mistwalker said, “Thank you for the link. We appreciate all your support. tears…”. Meanwhile, Monolith’s Yuichiro Takeda stated that he’s pleased about Xenoblade taking the top spot on Amazon. And even Soraya Saga, the wife of Xenoblade Chronicles creator Tetsuya Takahashi, said, “Thanks a lot for hoping its North American release. : )”
With all of this support, you have to wonder how Xenoblade and The Last Story won’t make it over to North America. Will NoA really be so negligent and completely ignore their fans?

Nintendo responds to bombardment of requests over Japanese games
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo fans have been blasting the company’s American social media pages with all sorts of comments. A thread on the company’s Facebook has received over 3,000 comments while they also continue to see constant tweets and notices on their YouTube account.
It looks someone is finally taking notice. In response to the fan requests over the past several days, Nintendo of America posted a comment on both their Twitter and Facebook accounts saying “Hey fans, we appreciate your enthusiasm. Look for more updates to come soon!”
Now, whether or not that actually means we’ll be seeing Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower is unknown. Perhaps they’re just trying to take some steam out of the campaign!
NoA customer service rep says Xenoblade is coming to North America
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
For as long as I live, I won’t trust anything a Nintendo customer service says. I feel like they just look up a game on their database or official website and provide a standard, pre-determined response to fans.
However, it is somewhat interesting to hear that a representative has said that Nintendo still plans on releasing Xenoblade – they’re calling it by the title it was announced as, Monado: Beginning of the World – to North America. Now whether that’s actually true is anyone’s guess, but I know that fans would certainly be pleased!
