The Last Story and Pandora's Tower could be on the way as well.

A September release is set for Xenoblade Chronicles, according to Mathieu Minel, Director of Marketing for Nintendo France. The game was previously confirmed for a 2011 European release. Mr. Minel went on to say in an E3 interview with Gamekyo that he is hopeful that two other big name titles on the Wii, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, will also be localized for European audiences.
Xenoblade was originally released in Japan in June 2010 and was published by Nintendo. The European releases will feature spoken English dialogue and have multiple subtitle options. This version will also retain the original Japanese spoken dialog as well. As of right now, Nintendo of America does not plan to bring the title to North American audiences.
While Minel couldn't directly confirm the other two titles, he said, "We are on the American continent, so I can not talk about The Last Story... Hopefully, it will come out. We are only allowed to say 'hope'... it's a promising hope... just as for Pandora's Tower." The marketing director followed up his statement with a large smile.
Hironobu Sakaguchi, director of The Last Story, told Gameblog.fr informally last month that his game would be coming to Europe.
Wow. Kudos NoE!! If they pull off the trifecta it will really be something for the European audience....and NoA Homebrewers.
I like a clear explanation of why games are released in NoE and not NoA even if its Special Order.

one that probably should be made mandatory for the entirecontinentworld to own but probably would bomb as well (Common Sense Training).
I care, but an explanation by NoE would only be a curiosity for my. Like the NoA explanation would be a curiosity for you. Though the NCL explanation would be interesting to us all.I like a clear explanation of why games are released in NoE and not NoA even if its Special Order.Oh and nobody cares how often the other direction is ignored?
I can count at least 2 games on the JP-only list that would clearly bomb in North America (Tingle and Mecha MG) and one that probably should be made mandatory for the entire continent to own but probably would bomb as well (Common Sense Training).
