Xenoblade Chronicles Hinted to Arrive Stateside for Wii

The violent fantasy RPG Xenoblade Chronicles has been given the green light in Europe and now Australia, but one of the voice actors has also led some to believe that America will get it as well. The US may have to wait until E3 next month for confirmation. Right now it is rumored to release in September in Europe. Nintendo has snubbed America in the past with such games as Disaster: Day of Crisis and Trace Memory: Another Code R. Nintendo believed that they would be niche games and wouldn’t sell well here. Iwata however, mentioned earlier that they would be localizing more games for America this year. Hopefully he remembers what he said and Xenoblade Chronicles is not forgotten.

If this is not released I will be seriously pissed and will start actually thinking that Nintendo has forgotten its true followers.

The Wii has jack shit to satiate my appetite for rpgs, and the other consoles just don't cater to JRPGs at ALL. Blue Dragon was not good IMO. Tangent!

Anyhoo- This game is sweet looking and I have loved the previous Xeno- stuff so PLEASE!

Will this be rated M? Were the others? I don't think I've ever played a Mature rated jrpg/rpg before. This one does look interesting.

Nah, the others were T if I'm not mistaken. Mostly for PS1.

Yep, the Wii is in dire need of some more RPG's. Regardless of how niche this title may be they need to expand the flavor of Wii. They have to fill the holiday season with something!

Well, they never have before really. Name 10 rpgs on Wii that don't suck. Shit, name 5. Or 3.

I might be able to name 3. At least 3 I liked. Monster Hunter Tri, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, Opoona, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, and Alien Syndrome. I got 6! Some are a stretch by the common definition of RPG, but all are considered an RPG or have RPG elements. Finding 10 would be impossible. I still haven't played Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers.

Is everyone getting this game now that we know it is coming? It is supposed to be the best RPG on Wii to date. Heck, it's supposed to be better than any PS3 RPG to date. For all the efforts, I hope this at least pushes a million copies in America so Nintendo will be more willing without hesitation to bring these games over the pond.

Day one purchase for me!
