JamalH

Hey guys, with all the rumblings of these not getting NTSC releases i was reading they will be seeing PAL releases? is this true for all 3? i cant really seem to find any solid info regarding the release of all 3 in PAL regions.

Cheers

Xenoblade has been confirmed to get a PAL release. Its due out in Europe around the middle of August. Should be the same time here.

Pandora's Tower has been 'confirmed' to be coming over in 2012. There hasn't been an official announcement yet.

Last Story has been confirmed off-hand as coming to PAL in 2012 too, but hasn't recieved any official announcement.

Funny how the PAL territories get favoured for once in this localisation mess.

Yeah man, im amazed at this.

Cant wait to pick them up, although i feel dirty supporting Nintendo now.

They dont give a crap about "gamers" anymore or they would release these 3 in all territories to make up for the stagnant wait for Zelda..

Still, it all comes down to Japan, and the money for them. To me it doesn't make sense. Gamecube had a much better (though also limited) RPG library and Nintendo's sales with the GC were terrible in comparison, yet they were still able to bring without question the A-Listing RPGs and other titles to all of the Western World. (With the except of Baiten Kaitos 2 for only NTSC territories off the top of my head). The Wii's done way better and now that they have the money and everyone knows it, there should be no question of release or not released... maybe Nintendo of America got c*ckblocked?

You're right Vervain. That would make more sense. I just thought the European and Australian markets would be nothing in comparison to North America and their numerically larger market, even if Nintendo of America believe the country is currently shooter-mad and nothing else. The Tales of series has always been undersold and hard to obtain in PAL territories, as was Baiten Kaitos, Paper Mario and so on.

Natsume, Atlus and Nippon Ichi have shown before how popular (even if they're niche) JRPGs are in North America. Ogre 64, the Harvest Moon series... And even after the whole Operation Rainfall thing, it just still seems confusing that Nintendo of America came to that conclusion.

Oh well I guess. At least we don't miss out, for once.

Is it known that we in the PAL territory love our RPG's more than our NTSC counterparts?

Here's what I don't understand though. If they're going to the trouble or translating the games to English (along with all the other European languages), why not release the games in the USA too?

The two regions are fairly similar culturally, which basically wipes any possibility of the 'European english' translation offending Americans and I'm sure Americans can figure out what the game is trying to convey when they see 'mum' instead of 'mom' or equivalent. Furthermore, it's very simple to change to video modes that the game outputs to accomodate NTSC televisions (if needed at all given that basically all PAL games have a 480i60 option these days anyway).

Screw the Americans. I was pissed off when one of them was asking why White Knight Chronicles 2 english gameplay footage is already out because "America is the only continent on the planet" and saying that the PAL version is a fake on a forum. I hope they get nothing.

They still got Arc Rise Fantasia. If it weren't for bad dubbing Rising Star Games wouldn't have silently cancelled it's PAL localisation :/

Yeah I actually hope they never get these games. How many games have you guys had to import from the US or Canada because a PAL version was never made? Half of my DS collection are games that were never released here. About time the US gets a taste of the crap we constantly go through.

News just in, Nintendo Australia has confirmed Xenoblade Chronicles will be released in Australia and New Zealand on September 1st and will include a 12 track CD soundtrack for the 'first production' of the game, i.e. the initial run, RRP $99.95! Linkage

I am also glad they aren't geting the games. They get everything and complain about how expensive games are there? We have had to import so many games. Not even obscure games.. But games that would sell well.. And what comes out here is often edited. :l

They have no idea so I am glad they are getting a taste of something we just cop on the chin time and time again.

lol I was having an argument with an Australian trying to recruit other Australians to join Operation Rainfall to help the Americans on EB Australia's youtube Xenoblade page. I told him that fan demand won't do a thing if Nintendo America knows it will not sell, his response:

"I apologise for the debate on that. It is up to you to join Operation Rainfall as I can't force you to join us, after all, you may have a point about the sales and this so called, capitalism. I'll take your point into consideration but I ain't giving up just yet... "

'this so called, capitalism' had a good laugh at that.

Wouldn't have thought there'd be much point in any Australians supporting Operation Rainfall. It's not like Australian support means extra sales for the US market or anything.

Below is the prologue of Xenoblade in English, which features a (very) small amount of gameplay. Worth a look if you're curious, maybe not if you're want to watch it for the first time when you load up the game in a few weeks.

The English voice acting seems decent enough in the intro, but I'll be sticking the JP voices and subtitles. The less out of sync the audio is with the mouth movements, the better.

The opening cutscene is great. Really sets the mood for the game.

Yeah, it really is great. I was at Nintendo HQ a few days ago, got a chance to play from the start on my own. Amazed at the scale of everything about the game. Not sure I have 100 hours to pour into it, unfortunately.

I don't care for the red controller as I have a black and gold one but you also get 3 A1 sized signed posters and a reversible cover if you buy that bundle.

First I was =D!!!

Then I was =(!!!!

So yeah only controller in the bundle, no posters for us. Won't bother anymore.
