I know a few folks 'round these parts have been waiting anxiously for a Xenoblade localization that was seemingly never gonna happen, but today Nintendo of Europe announced Xenoblade Chronicles, set for release sometime this year.

No word on an NA release yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if NoA passes up this one, but we can hope. The game is listed on Amazon under its old name, http://www.amazon.com/Monado-Beginning-World-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002IM1MYG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1301590044&sr=8-2, but no confirmation yet. Hopefully it also means that we'll eventually be seeing The Last Story outside of Japan as well.

Still I imagine the US won't get it..

If not then I'll have to import a Wii. Stupid region locks. :meh:

Yup... Might as well toss my Wii in the trash and swear off Nintendo consoles.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=26831293&postcount=495 gives a bit of hope, as the domain links to Nintendo of America. Perhaps an announcement at E3.

You're in for a treat folks, let me tell you that. ^_^

Nintendo of Europe also links to Nintendo of America!! Obviously proof this is coming to America.
