It's not hard to make it so your Wii can play imported games. In the event that NoA doesn't bring it here, there will be an English version of the game that can be easily made to work.

I know. I hate having to do that but I really want to play this game and if NoA doesn't want to play ball so be it.

Just want to jump in here and post that Nintendo of America has registed a Domain name for xenobladechronicles.com and that it redirects to Nintendo's home page. Here is the link http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/03/xenoblade-chronicles/ Check at the bottom of the story for the details.

Nice. That's promising, though I wish it was paired with a domain registration for a site representing Last Story.

It really did show up on NoE site. Keep thinking this is another April Fool's joke but at least it's on the official site which means more than likely the US is getting it after all. No sense not too considering it's already going be in English with english voice acting (though I'm glad for Japanese voices option).

Hopefully we'll hear about a release date soon.

This is another reason why it's guaranteed for a North American release. This is a huge RPG with a lot of voice work that's more then any other title Nintendo has published until The Last Story. Since NCL approves everything NOA and NOE do, there is no way they would spend money on a huge English dub unless that dub was planned on being used in both North America and Europe.

The big problem with the 1. April is that it's also the beginning of the fiscal year.

Also I think shareholders don't like jokes about this kind of thing.

As said before that means nothing in the end. They've done this before and nothing came of it. It could easily be them just stopping anyone else from taking the domain name. It cost for them to just sit on it is insignificant.

I'll be buying this game whether it's localized for the U.S. or not, thanks to the easy Wii homebrew system, but I'm still quite confident that it will reach U.S. shores. Shoot, didn't Cammie spontaneously bring this title up in interviews once or twice? It's almost certainly coming.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #185 on:** April 03, 2011, 09:08:50 PM »

Oh and it should also be noted that last fall, Super Mario All-Stars: 25th Anniversary Collection was announced for release by NOE about a few weeks before NOA announced it. Even though there ended up only being a little more then a weeks difference between the Europe and American release dates, NOE still announced the game for release in Europe several weeks before NOA announced it was coming to America.

So keep this in mind everyone in the coming weeks. Just because we might not here anything, doesn't mean NOA isn't going to bring it over. If it took them a few weeks to announce a Mario game out of all thing after NOE announced it, then I wouldn't be surprise if we might even have to wait until E3 to hear about the American release. Of course hopefully it will be much sooner then that.

I just hope this game is part of the content that Reggie said would be coming before E3.

Well something has to be! In all seriousness, I can't think of any first-party Wii games coming out this year before E3 right now. I can't think of any third-party ones either. Hmm... $:-\$

Not getting my hopes up. Perhaps I'm becoming to jaded but Nintendo tends to disappoint in situations like this outside of their core franchises.

You lucky Europeans get to choose your Alternative Back Cover for Xenoblade
http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/xenoblade_cover/index.php?locale=enGB

It appears that today that Nintendo Europe has launched an Official "Alternative Cover Art" contest where anyone with a Facebook or Twitter account can Vote on which alternative cover art will be on the reverse side of the official front cover. They have provided 4 choices for fans to chose from, and here they are listed below.

1:

2:

3:

4:

You can vote as often as you like until the ending date of May 25th.

Ceric · « **Reply #190 on:** May 13, 2011, 12:30:17 PM »

I voted for the Second one. Even though the first one is pretty cool.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #191 on:** May 13, 2011, 12:41:07 PM »

That was my favorite, and the 1st one was my second choice.
(I hid my commentary behind the pictures)

Quadran · « **Reply #192 on:** May 13, 2011, 01:48:14 PM »

Although I like the first one a lot, I prefer the second picture as the reverse cover.

broodwars · « **Reply #193 on:** May 13, 2011, 01:49:11 PM »

If I were in Europe, I'd definitely pick the first image. There's just something off about the lighting and coloring on the second image.

Mop it up · « **Reply #194 on:** May 13, 2011, 05:13:34 PM »

I'd go with either 1 or 2. 4 looks kind of bland and 3 is just... no.

Ceric · « **Reply #195 on:** May 13, 2011, 05:14:49 PM »

You know Three could be cool if that huge robot was over his shoulder as the background. The head and chest portion.

noname2200 · « **Reply #196 on:** May 19, 2011, 01:16:58 AM »

The first one screams "grand adventure" more than the other three, although the second one does feature better artwork.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #197 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:14:55 PM »

I personally would go with the first one. The third one would be better if it had some background.Maybe the main enemy in the background looking evil like staring at the guy in the foreground.

Stogi · « **Reply #198 on:** May 20, 2011, 03:21:36 PM »

The first one is better because it evokes an emotion. It is begging you to take a step forward.

The second one looks like you just completed that quest - you got the girl, you got your buddies and you're watching something from a distance - but it doesn't offer that emotion of accomplishment, making it pretty confusing to look at despite its better art style.
