Bad puns aside, this post is one typed by a grieving American Wii gamer… Nintendo of America just announced on their Twitter that they have no plans to ever bring Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora’s Tower, or The Last Story to North America.
While this might look like the final nail in the coffin for ever seeing these titles stateside, there are still other routes- like the one taken by Solatorobo: Red the Hunter; where Nintendo published it in Europe but XSeed is handling the North American side of things(Coming July 1st in Europe, this Fall in North America- Just a helpful reminder). So instead of kicking a dead horse when it comes to Nintendo translating and importing the title, maybe all that’s needed for Operation Rainfall to succeed is for one of the many ‘importing’ publishers to pick up the licenses for these extremely anticipated titles.
Blah…I don’t personally like this news. I guess I’ll hold out for that small twinkle of hope. =P I’ve depended on XSeed in the past, I can do it again.
I wonder how Karen is feeling right now 😉
Europeans had it much worse in the SNES days.
We’ve always had it kinda bad…
And people wonder why I don’t like Chrono Trigger.
So obviously NoA thinks people only care about horrible minigames >.>
Nintendo has some pretty bad fan service aside from first party titles
