Nintendo has “no plans” to bring Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandora’s Tower to America

Bad news, Operation Rainfall supporters: Nintendo has announced they have “no plans” to bring Xenoblade, The Last Story or Pandora’s Tower to North America. Posting on the company’s Facebook page, a spokesman wrote:

Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say “never,” but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!

I’m not sure what else needs to be said. Nintendo continues to ignore their most hardcore fans and refuses to localize their new and exciting franchises.

Wait, one other thing needs to be said… this sucks!

Nintendo registers Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story domains

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Warp Zoned Staff

A few days after Nintendo of Europe announced that Mistwalker’s Xenoblade would be released in Europe (as Xenoblade Chronicles), Nintendo of America has begun dropping hints that the game will continue traveling east and arrive on American shores soon.

According to Nintendo’s previous 2011 release schedules, an American release for the game has always been in the works (albeit under the title Monado: Beginning of the World). But it looks like a name change is in order as Nintendo of America has registered the domain, XenobladeChronicles.com. Currently, the site just redirects to Nintendo’s homepage, but this is a very good sign that the game will be coming to America soon.

Our curiousity piqued, we tried a URL that might point to another Nintendo RPG, The Last Story, and what do you know, TheLastStory.com is owned by the publisher as well (and it was apparently registered in February 2010).

Here’s hoping an official announcement for both games is imminent.

Nintendo announces “no plans” to localize The Last Story for the West; Nicole cries

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Yesterday, VG247 said Nintendo told them they have no intentions of releasing The Last Story in the west. A representative told them they have “no plans at present” when asked about localizing the Mistwalker game. This comes as a blow to us RPG fans, especially those of us who had just cleaned up the drool off our keyboards after watching the latest trailer. The trailer – which was five minutes long and utterly stunning – left us all hoping an announcement would be made, especially since rumors have been flying left and right as to whether or not this Sakaguchi-helmed game would make it into our hands. It looks like, for the time being, we’re out of luck.

Hit the break to check out the trailer, along with a 15-second long television advertisement. (more…)
