UPDATE 2:-

Nintendo:
"Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say “never,” but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!"

UPDATE 1:-

Nintendo responds to bombardment of requests over Japanese games

 

Nintendo fans have been blasting the company’s American social media pages with all sorts of comments. A thread on the company’s Facebook has received over 3,000 comments while they also continue to see constant tweets and notices on their YouTube account.

It looks someone is finally taking notice. In response to the fan requests over the past several days, Nintendo of America posted a comment on both their Twitter and Facebook accounts saying “Hey fans, we appreciate your enthusiasm. Look for more updates to come soon!

Now, whether or not that actually means we’ll be seeing Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower is unknown. Perhaps they’re just trying to take some steam out of the campaign!

Want to know how far the localization efforts for The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles have gone? It turns out that both Mistwalker and Monolithsoft themselves have been made aware of what's going on with fans here in the states.

Mistwalker - "Thank you for the link. We appreciate all your support. tears..."

Monolithsoft - "Thanks a lot for hoping its North American release. :)"

I don't know about you, but Mistwalker's comments make it seem as if it's a lost cause for The Last Story! Thanks to MoldyClay for the heads up.

And now we wait until they respond with something that will disappoint us horribly..sadly I trust Nintendo as much as Namco with localization right now....



Former something....

Keep it up guys.

Guys, rather than making such extremes, why don't we just continue with our campaign. Regardless of NoA's answer, we still have to campaign for them. We can't take no for an answer. We have to keep trying.



That's right.

Everybody has now to continue bombarding them with messages.

I personally dislike NoA's way of business where (Correct me if I am wrong) they believe if it won't sell a lot and bring a ton of profit they won't want to be bothered with localization.

That is seriously such a slap in the face. 

It would be nice to see NoA take a hit for their fans seeing as how their fans have been taking hits for them for I don't know how many years now.

The question for me is, how in the world could they believe that Xenoblade and The Last Story wouldn't sell well enough?

I'm sure they'd sell more than enough to see a healthy profit. (Especially if they just left the Japanese voices and used subtitles.)

I would say to go ask Reggie that question.

These are the same people who purchased the publishing rights to Fatal Frame IV and never released it in the US...

Also this is the same company that purchased Monolith 4 years ago and have yet to give US gamers one of their titles. I feel sorry for those who have not played Soma Bringer. I really liked that game, along with many other titles from Monolith.

I honestly feel that had Monolith not been purchased and Xenoblade been a PS3 title it would have been released already seeing as how "Xeno" titles have a Playstation history.

 

It makes me sad.

 

Luckily I can play Xenoblade though since my Wii is modded even if it fails to reach my shores.
