The Last Story might come to Europe on February 24th photo

We already knew The Last Story was coming to the EU sometime during 2012, but now there is a release date floating around! According to rumors, the game will arrive in Europe on February 24. For all those unaware, The Last Story is one of the three games that Project Rainfall is trying to get Nintendo of America to publish in the United States.

The game may also get a name change. The same rumor suggests it is to be called The Last World in Europe, which is one letter away from being confused with a movie focusing on cloned dinosaurs. Nintendo of Europe hasn't reacted to these rumors yet and its American counterpart hasn't said anything about those infamous three games in quite some time. Even when asked about them after Reggie himself took over Nintendo's Twitter account there has been no official comment on their status.

Rumour: The Last Story renamed The Last World for the release in Europe on February 24 (WiiItalia)

Cannot wait for this to be translated to English so I can put it on my modded Wii. Nintendo of America can go fuck themselves.

I sorta enjoyed Xenoblade so I'm definitely buying this one too.

Fuck you, Reggie. You make us europeans look like dicks.

The more I see news like this the more I am elated for Europe and the more I loath NOA.

I don't understand the reasoning behind Nintendo. These games have made enough publicity to bring to the US. Also I hope they don't change the english title Last Story is awesome considering it essentially being called Final Fantasy without copyright issues

Already got my Wii "enabled" to play this on my American Wii after Xenoblade.
Remember that game, Reggie? The one that where you said if it sold a gazillion copies you'd consider publishing it in the U.S., like it's a goddamn ransom?

NOA refused to bring Mother 3 and Xenoblade to NA, and I still played them. In fact, they're among my favourite JRPGs of all time! You'd think that Nintendo is actually supporting piracy by insisting on not releasing those games! Not that I wouldn't gladly pay full-price for those same titles when/if they decide to release them :P

@Sven : Nintendo France's page of the game doesn't have a defined date, but we know it will still be officially called The Last Story : http://www.nintendo.fr/NOE/fr_FR/games/wii/the_last_story_45545.html

Well my only hope is that the games get released stateside. My guess is that if they're not released in NA by next year, then they're not coming.

I'm a jealous North American. Nintendo of America can suck my left nut; I certainly won't be buying a Wii U until I can get a used one heavily discounted.

@wyatt they wouldn't have made any publicity at all if Nintendo had actually released them here.

Also, I still believe the reasoning behind this is to stop Europeans importing from America, where games are much cheaper.
Hopefully, it will come stateside next year.

i just don't have any fucks to give towards operation rainfall. a bunch of americans bitching about 3 games not coming out in their country that are coming out in europe. when there are 25 years where over 50 (i did some research) other RPGs didn't come out in europe that did come out in the US. a situation that still persists to this day and is far more difficult to bypass than a wii game.

Nice one Nintendo, bringing this out so close to Final Fantasy XIII-2 is completely and utterly insane.

Meh, NoA does a good job of making me not give a crap anymore. Release over here, I'll buy it, don't release I won't buy it, I'll just add it to the list of missed opportunities on NoA's part.

Reggie and NoA are DICKS! These games should have showed up in the US already.

If neither game gets announced for release in America by February next year, I will consider buying a European Wii. Safer than risking my purchased Virtual Console games to bricking from a software mod, at least.

Blurgh, The Last World. Still gettin' it. Xenoblade ended up being better than I anticipated so I'm well up for this.

So I'm assuming you didn't even read a single comment before making one of your own (as usual), correct? People have every right to bash on Nintendo of America.

@Stealth: Clever. Glossing over the reasons people are upset. But hey, namecalling makes you RIGHT, right?

Actually never mind, considering gamestation ships over here too, is there any sites that have a step by step process of how to "enhance" your Wii, with a good chance of not bricking it?

Xenoblade was godlike and I want more. Give me the same voice actors too, NOE did a fantastic localization job all around.

For goodness sake do NOT change the name... it's utterly pointless and clearly sounds worse. The CHRONICLES on the end of Xenoblade makes no sense.

Also Reggie is a cunt who will hopefully be fired soon, feel free to import American dudes because a sale is ultimately a sale.

If NoA does release these games, are any of you going to feel the least bit remorseful for your name calling?

Unless I'm mistaken, every NoE mention of this game so far, as well as its Australian classification, has used the name "The Last Story", so I don't see why they would change the name now.

Hoping the Feb 24th date is true though.

@hardy83: You know... if your Wii is modded to be able to pirate it, you should be able to play an import version. That's really what you ought to do here.

Xenoblade was good, but I didn't think it was great. But Last Story is the one I'm really looking forward to. It looks amazing!

People always have a right to hate on NOA. But you don't have a right to deny their rights.
We could always go to court, if you think I'm wrong.
