Rumour: The Last Story getting localised

Wii Rumour | Oh my.
While the Wii's software front is about as dead as dead can be, glimmers of hope shine on the horizon. As far as we're aware, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is scheduled to release later this year, and just recently we got word that the role playing behemoth Xenoblade was to recieve localisation. If this latest rumour is true, it looks like The Last Story is on the way as well.

The rumour is sourced from JRPG Tribe, a website dedicated to Japanese role playing games. According to them, a staff member attending the London MCM Expo spoke with a representative for Nintendo's European branch, who went on to confirm (off the record, as always) that The Last Story was in the midst of an English localisation, and would at the very least be arriving in PAL territories.

The Last Story is a Japanese role playing game designed and directed by industry veteran Hironobu Sakaguchi. A collaborative project between Sakaguchi's studio Mistwalker and Nintendo, The Last Story has yet to receive any official word of localisation outside of Japan, despite many requests from Wii owners looking for something new to play.

What will come of this rumour? Who knows. The sourcing is very much hear-say, so it's impossible to lay down any evidence to back the claim. However, with E3 2011 right around the corner, we could be looking at a formal announcement then.

Whoa! I've always wanted to play this in English, so I hope it becomes true.

I'd love for this to be true, but I'm not getting my hopes up at this stage. I want Xenoblade more than this, so I'll still be a happy lad either way as hopefully we'll have that before the end of the year icon_smile.gif

Good news if true. I've been tracking every single one of this games updates since it was announced, so I hope it's true. Need this game in English! Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. The Nintendo RPG Tri-factor.

Sure hope it is. The last few months have already been great with localisations of Graces F and Xenoblade. The Last Story is another game I'd really like to play.
