It's strange that there's been no news of a western release even though it's been out in Japan for over half a year now. :/ Hopefully it's just because there's a lot of content that they're in the process of localising.

@Holy: Monado, beginning of the World is not a hint nor news?

@lz Hey that's true actually. It's a hint, but not news. Wikipedia says that name change announcement was back in January 2010, half a year before it came out in Japan. Well at least it's confirmation that the game will be getting a western release eventually.

I would have been amazed if Nintendo didn't release the game in the West, given they bought the developer on the strength of this game. Would have been a pretty big investment for a Japan-only game.

So, Xenoblade Chronicles has been confirmed for Europe and Australia. Now for the US announcement...

I posted this in a few other threads but I found a Xenoblade and Last Story petition to try and get those games released in other petitions. Yall should stop by and sign it!

As posted right above you, this game is already confirmed for an English release in PAL regions. Consequently it's likely to have an NA release as well.

However not everything that sees a release in the PAL regions see a release in the NTSC regions. Take Disaster: Day of Crisis for instance. Though I hear the ratings weren't that great, it was shown off at 2 or 3 E3's before it came out then went dark. Both of these games are games RPG fans are looking forward to world wide and we know nothing about. They both missed a really good time for a NTSC announcement to build and stir a buzz, have been announced in PAL but not NTSC, and we can't get a straight answer about them. It's disheartening for RPG fans, Wii owners, and fans of the developers work!

Plz, if you can spare the time to sign the petition and spread the word! Get this thing moving

I pre-ordered this one just now. Releases 15th september according to the internet retailer. Woopwoop!
Perfect season for launch.

They HAVE to release these games.
Aside from Zelda they have literally nothing else until the Wii u is launched.

Either that or they are porting them to the Wii U and starting the system strong with some "core" RPGs, which I honestly doubt because the games are being released in every region on Wii cept NA.

Course then again NoA has been pretty stupid when it comes to porting games over. They honestly don't unless they are forced to by NoJ.

It'd be kind of silly to release the game in the PAL region and not the NA since they'd have to do English for Australia and the UK anyway...

Speaking of RPGs, where is "The Last Story"? I'd love to see that announced for the NA/PAL regions.

It is idiotic of Nintendo not to realese quality games like this. Its not like the Wii has nothing else to look forward to.

I agree, can't help but to think Nintendo intentionally let the genre go ever since the release of the 64. Glad to see it's shaping up, and about time too but, well crap - release this one in NA too. And bring The last story westwards as well. I'll get that one too. There's profit to be made here. That should get every respected entertainment company's attention

Just to let you know, there's a lot of gamers that they're not happy the way things are going and we're going to try and do something about it. just FYI

I saw this on Gonintendo:

• special classic controller for Xenoblade Chronicles
• Nintendo of Europe had a presence at E3, but they weren't allow to show Xenoblade Chronicles
• this was because NoA didn't want to showcase games that they aren't planning to sell
  It came from the French branch of nintendo and the special classic controller sounds cool but things aren't sounding too good for an NA release. Even though it looks pretty unlikely now I hope it does get an NA release so that the Americans don't miss out on such an awesome looking game.
  @silverskywalker Welcome to nl and nice avatar, Yuzu is my favourite character in devil survivor. I hope the 3DS version gets an eu release.

Thanks, she's also my favorite character as you can see and hope the game is released over there.

Now, i don't want to sound annoying but most of who live in America are pretty upset about this turn of events and we're doing something about this.
If anyone is interested we have an official page on facebook, twitter feed and an email. Right now NoA's facebook page is being flooded with comments about Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandoras Tower. The rank of Monado in amazon us has been given a boost from #12000 to #4232. We've started to gain notice from other sites but we need more help. At this time and age we can make a difference and I hope you guys can give us hand with this. We would all be benefited from the result.

Thanks for reading this!

Twitter link please? I might have some fun helping with this.

I'm not going to worry about missing out on this title. As long as Nintendo doesn't find anymore reasons to postpone Skyward Sword. Since both titles would've probably been released around the same general time.
