It seems that even Australia, famous for getting regularly screwed over by Nintendo, is getting a taste of The Last Story while North America gets left out in the cold. The Mistwalker RPG was recently rated for the country, meaning Aussie fans should get their hands on it in the near future.
Nintendo of America has been resolute in its refusal to localize The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, and won't publish Xenoblade despite the localization having already been done. The Wii has thusly had very little content at all this year, with only three or four games to look forward to before the Wii U renders it obsolete.
Still, Wii's are easy enough to modify (for the legal purchase of imported titles, of course!) and it's cool Australia gets something nice for a change.

In all honesty, they might as well just HD-upscale them and fire them out as WiiU launch titles.
That is most likely what they are going to do in order to boost launch sales, especially with the new XBOX debuting at the next E3.
"Wontchoo come home bill bailey, wontchoo come home"?
"Oh iiii must take the A train....."
Anyway, when is this coming to Europe? I finally broke down and homebrewed my Wii to play Xenoblade, which is great btw, and Taiko No Tatsujin, so now I'm just waiting to import Pandora and Last Story. I went from ignoring my Wii entirely to being inseparable in the span of two weeks.
I just shouldn't have to break TOS and spend absurd amounts of money importing to get to that point.
It may be just me, but that simple fact just seems to say alot about Nintendo's hidden plans.
If its been localised for aus, europe will probably get it, as its all within the pal region.
What with the dollar being worthless right now, it would actually wind up being cheaper for you import games from the US than it would be to buy them from Europe.
they pulled another fatal frame on 4 on us
It all makes sense now.
I totally agree at this point NOA is just pissing on their market.
However turning these games into WiiU launch titles is one way to guarantee I will never buy a NEW nintendo product again. Assuming of course I ever buy another nintendo product.
if thats not it then NOA can just fuck off
The only reason Australia would get the game is because Europe is (as logic would dictate). Xenoblade makes it a great year for the wii over here once Zelda comes out.
Blame Reggie guys, he is a blight on Nintendo.
I am ready Sakaguchi. Bring me the TRUE Final Fantasy.
Don't worry, it'll all be over soon.
Yeah he does sorta prattle on tho I have actually once seen Stealth make a valid point. Still the whole whining about whiners schtick gets old.
But its because we are all entitled scum ^^ damn us all to hell for expecting to be able to buy something that we want with our money. Not to mention the audacity of being fully willing and capable of taking our patronage elsewhere...
@Excel: Sounds like something someone says before they either commit suicide or mass murder.
Do you honestly believe it's as easy as removing the Us from "colour"?
OMFGTHISISTOTALLYFUCKINGAWESOME!!!! *faints*
Going down to the store to preorder this ASAP
Xenoblade came out in Australia as well, but it ain't selling very well.
I can just see reggie looking up newssites of this news read all the hate and think yeah yeah keep on hating our money will roll in anyway...
