Cool for Europe, but LAME for us! Maybe we should try ignoring Nintendo, see what happens.
I love the header image by the way, haha.

@Epic & Skyy: I thought it was called your Taint.
Anywhoo, I sure hope they're going to announce The Last Story coming stateside at E3. Along with Xenoblade, Earth Seeker and Pandora's Tower. Nintendo would actually manage to top it's conference last year if they announced all of those.

I'm still holding out hope. Remember when Nintendo said they had no interest in localizing it at the beginning of the year? And now we're getting rumors about Europe getting it? That's a pretty big leap I think.
I blame the American gaming press for being always so cynical thowards Nintendo and Japanese games in general. Don't be always saying how you think japanese game development is dying or stale, or how Nintendo is just casual. They interpret this shit this way.
UK is the David's balls and Japan is the face of God.
Makes sense.
That would make America the ass since our country is gone to shit.

Wait till E3 guys, if these games aren't announced then, then we have a right to complain. Nintendo has an annoying habit of keeping everything secret until E3, which actually makes for an awesome E3, but it makes the rest of the year boring.
I also thought the term was Taint. Anyway, I'm still waiting on a US release, Gooch! I don't want to have signed that petition for nothing.

Nice Europe hate from you. Well let me tell you I live in Europe and I care about Last Story and Xenoblade and a lot more games that dont have "Just Dance" in its name.
Hey, they're just waiting for the opportunity to properly exploit the excitement and anticipation of the market.
Are there any Wii games that have seen European releases that haven't made it to the US?

@PlanetPanton Don't forget that Nintendo's the publisher. As far as I know this game can't come to any other console or handheld than the Wii and 3DS. ;)
Also, psyched about this! Living in the Netherlands myself, I can't wait for these games, especially Xenoblade. Would rather have Earth Seeker than The Last Story though, a bit more up my alley.
Anyways, good news, also for you US citizens: if they're gonna translate this game to English, Spanish, Italian, German, etc, they might as well release it stateside, right? ^^

Disaster: Day of Crisis and Another Code: R pop into my head. On the DS front, Euroland is getting Inazuma Eleven and Solatorobo, a soccer and furry RPG respectively.

@Comradetrotskii: Why, yes, as a matter of fact. Another Code R, Disaster: DoC, Pikmin 2 (NPC), One Piece Unlimited Cruise 1 and 2 and quite alot of shovelware. Still, it pales in comparison to the games you guys got and we didn't.
Interesting though three of these games are Nintendo owned properties. It's not like the company never released a game in only Japan and the EU before.

lol Tony you're a funny guy. When Europe gets stiffed nobody cares but when it happens to America, everyone riot!
Next time you play a game maybe you should champion the cause of those who won't get to play it as soon as you or who might never get to play it.

Pretty funny how people will baaaaw, yet Europe always get fucked over when it comes to anything Nintendo related. This is good news.
@Freekopolis, aha yeah I know but still :P
I don't really own any RPG's, but I am looking into them! They look so awesome! Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, and Resonance of Fate have my eye!

@Tony Ponce: You just reminded me... I hope they localize Solatorobo stateside also! I want that game!

America gets shafted on some really weird choices from Japan. This one for example, then Hotel Dusk's sequel...I mean if I remember right the latter wasn't insanely popular but had quite a following in America over the European fan-base, yet there was zero release for its sequel...like I said, bizarre publisher policy now and then.
Anyway this is all rumor, let's get a solid confirmation via date or rating system.

@Redsumo: that's why I've softmodded my Wii. Can play any game from any region. So yeah, a US only release would work for me as well. ;)
Also, let's not forget this isn't that weird a situation. The US have the reputation of being a lot more interesting for publishers. There's some franchises (FIFA, The Settlers, etc.) that sell better in the EU, but apart from all that, the US have more impressive game sales, both relative and absolute.
So how to handle a situation like this? You tell the least interesting region without any fanfare whatsoever that "they'll get some games. Erm, yeah, Xeno something and The Last thingamajit". The US? You wait till the E3, give an impressive presentation about the Wii successor and then tell the audience that there's "a huge amount of great games coming your way! Xenoblade, The Last Story, Earth Seeker, you name it!!".
Seriously, there's no reason for US gamers to be concerned at this point.

I love the header for this story. And yeah I agree with E3 announcement predictions. Otherwise, what do they have for the wii? Skyward Sword? For the 3rd year running that isn't very exciting. All other major Nintendo devs must be concentrating on Cafe and 3DS by now as well.
What?? Europe barely gets any Japanese niche titles, and when we are finally lucky enough to get two great games you say we dont "deserve" them
Fucking ridicules man xD
Fucking ridicules man xD
If all things fail. There's always import. The game is still English right? All I have to do is change the region settings on the Wii. Profit! :D
If Europe gets Xenoblade and the US doesn't I'm gonna burn my Wii and send it to NoA with a note telling them how useless their console is
I'm European. I tell you, there's nothing I like doing more than playing Tales of the Abyss on the PS2. Oh wait, it was never released over here. Don't worry, we can wait until Spring 2012 to play it on the 3DS whilst the rest of the world plays it this Summer.
Don't even get me started with Atlus games. They don't seem to realise Europe exists. European release of Catherine? Give it about eighteen months and a publisher might say, "Ehhh, it's possible."
Don't worry though, we have our copies of Just Dance to keep us going. Because apparently the casual consumer makes up for the entire gaming population of Europe.

Great. First it was Solatorobo, now it's The Last Story.
The U.S. is starting to suck in terms of non shooters.

I've been pretty sure Nintendo's just been holding back to announce Last Story and Xenoblade anywhere from "After 3DS is out" to "at E3."
Gonna stick with that. I don't think NoA is going to pass up a Sakaguchi RPG for the Wii in the US.
Last Window didn't come stateside because no one bought Hotel Dush when Nintendo published it for Cing. Same thing with Trace Memory. So I'm gonna blame Americans for that more than NOA.

Yeah guys, listen to Rush. I'm American and for the most part this is selfish. It's great the Europe is getting some good games, since they DO get ignored a lot...
But still, it's okay to hope.
Here's hoping of the release of One Peice Unlimited Cruise 3D in US!

Its hasn't even been officially been announced for Europe. Wait until after E3 to complain about it not being released/announced in the US
I do feel bad for our European Friends. They get left behind quite a bit.

If it's not announced in E3 some of these commenters are gonna feel so silly, but I for one hope that they announce it.
urge to kill RISING! Quit trolling America Nintendo, we want this shit already!! I'm glad some of you are unconditionally optimistic but I'm not celebrating til the game is in my hands at this point. They've dicked around for so long on announcing this and Xenoblade, that I might not even believe 'em if they do say something at E3. I'm still not sure about that even cuz when has Nintendo held localization announcements until e3? New game announcements sure but localizations?
My hopes not completely gone yet, no one will be happier to play these games than me if we should get them, but for those who don't understand my skepticism go look up 2 games called The Last Window and Mother 3.

god damn it Nintendo of America release this already!!!
i need this along with Xenoblade and Fatal Frame 4 and 2 Remake :P

@Scissors: This. We still have the E3 for big announcements. If nothing comes then, well, let us complain. BUt "pre-emptive" complaining makes us look a little but childish. Yes, they are previous examples of this happening (although Inazuma is not really that surprising, being that the "soccer" is the largest sport in Eurpoe, and realtively small on the US), but let us not be fatalistic. If right, you just compained longer, if wrong, you sounded like a baby. So let be patient. In a week we'll have our answer.
Solatorobo, Xenoblade and The Last Story ... I know I'll have my Nintendo Action RPG fix now ^^ Can't wait to get my press copy of Solatorobo and give it the review it deserves ^^
@All the angry Americans:
Shut the fuck up. Shouting and raging may be the only way most of you yanks know to respond, but it isn't helping your case. You won't care when Europe gets shafted again, so let us have this one.

Japan has all but given up on the Wii, and no one in Europe gives a flying fudge about software unless it says "Just Dance" somewhere on the box. The only major region that still somewhat supports the damn platform is the US, yet Japan and Europe are where the most exciting projects turn up.
Could you do me a favor and NOT diss Europe this much? Destructoid does in fact have European readers, you know? Posts like this make it sound like everything is always about the US...
Besides that, it's not like Europe always gets the niche games. In fact, it's mostly the reverse; many of such games never make it to Europe, or only do so with a major delay. That includes several games by Monolith itself (I had to mod and import just to play Baten Kaitos Origins), which did not look good for the future of Xenoblade.
Finally, there's always E3, I wouldn't be surprised if both games were announced there for the US: don't complain until you have reason to.

if europe gets it the us will almost sertainly also get it and if they don't you can always install some homebrew with region free game loaders on your wii putting hombrew on it doesn't equal piracy at all and you know nintendo isn't gonna ban your wii or anything.
Woah! Sweet! EU love ! The image you ps'ed is glorious, though no offence but you come of sounding kinda like a douche , but I see why you are mad :) I don't get why they would release it in EU and not the US , I mean all we do is pirate it anyways, will we see a change in pirating trends now US ? ^^
