These are slightly old news, but I wonder how many of you guys heard about them. I am gonna talk about more Wii-exclusive RPG goodness coming straight from Japan to our local vicinities!
In any case, Nintendo of Europe announces that
Xenoblade, now known to us English speaking folk as
Xenoblade Chronicles, is confirmed for a European release in an undisclosed date in 2011! Yes, and they even opened a
new dedicated official website too! It
has been reported that the game will include an all-new English voice-over set, in addition to the option of playing the game in the original Japanese voice-overs too! (Plus, the usual multi-lingual subs to be included as all modern PAL games.) What about the United States? Well, there is still a possibility the game will also be played by the general American audience, however we cannot be sure. The only great evidence that the game will see itself in the U.S. is the fact that
the title is listed on Nintendo of America's release calendar, but that does not prove that the game is confirmed for the U.S..
There might be no confirmation that
Xenoblade Chronicles is coming to the U.S., and the same can be said for another anticipated RPG title called
The Last Story. HOWEVER, it was
recently reported that Nintendo of America did register the domains
TheLastStory.com and
XenobladeChronicles.com (both which currently automatically re-direct to NOA's main website), which greatly hints that NOA will soon announce the titles for a U.S. release indeed! Keep your fingers crossed though.
Xenoblade and
The Last Story were released in Japan since June 10, 2010 and January 27, 2011 respectively.
Expect any confirmations from now until E3 in June!
