Nintendo Wii: Nintendo America Watching Xenoblade Sales In Europe Before Committing To Releasing It In The US

Nintendo, Wii, , , ,

As I had previously assumed it looks as though Nintendo of America are looking to gauge interest in European sales of Xenoblade Chronicles before deciding to release the game in the United States. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN that the company is looking closely to see how well Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower all do in Europe before committing to releasing them in the US.

“We will be watching very closely what happens in Europe,” Fils-Aime told me. “Certainly if there are business opportunities and positive consumer uptake from some of those titles, that will be great data for us to consider as we look at what to do with these titles.”

Nintendo of America has written to a fan reiterating that it currently has no plans to bring Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower to the United States. Sadly there’s absolutely nothing new in the letter, but it’s nice to see that someone at Nintendo has personally taken the time out to write to a member of Operation Rainfall.

Nintendo Wii: Is Xenoblade Really Confirmed For A North American Release?

Nintendo, Wii, ,

Destructiod is reporting that Xenoblade is finally confirmed for North America. Strangely the source for the news article is a reader who contacted a Nintendo customer service representative. Whether or not this is enough confirmation to publish that the game is officially confirmed for North America is something I’m unsure of. I’d wait for the official word from Nintendo personally. Hopefully we should hear something soon!
