killer kirby Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Indeed, the second shipment was there. They just didn't buy it. I expected 40-50k this week. I'm still surprised by the big drop. I ain't. Like I said over and over again now. Japanese people are just not interested in these types of games. Even Final Fantasy is feeling the pressure with FFXIII being the worst selling FF game in Japan for a long while. Japanese home console market is dying. It's all about portable.

ShadowV7 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, this is pretty much confirmed now for out of Japan release, NoA registered "thelaststory.com" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm expecting this to be one of the big games for Nintendo at E3. Have been for a while now actually but certainly looks like things are moving in to place to confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm glad to have somewhat of a confirmation now, for peace of mind if anything. But this will be one of the main titles they'll be pushing. Frankly speaking, 3 forms of Zelda, awesome RPG goodness and mass 3DS-age makes 2011 a great year for gaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I was thinking the same thing and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened. I sincerely hope Nintendo doesn't do that. The backlash would be huge. And as much as I want Xenoblade (because of Monolith Soft having done Baten Kaitos and other Xeno games), I'd much rather try The Last Story for it's battle mechanics. They shouldn't anyway as Xenoblade Chronicles does have it's US website registered, so it does look like it's getting a release in the US. Wouldn't be surprised to see an NoE website pop up in a few weeks/months based on how they tend to announce games these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be satisfied if the Wii wasn't bloody region locked. And no i'm not buying an NTSC Wii, I don't have room! Really hoping both Xenoblade and The Last Story get European releases, but with the DS' track record with rpgs I won't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) *cough*homebrew channel*cough* Using the Homebrew Channel is all well and good until your Wii breaks and Nintendo takes away your saves to punish you. Nintendo giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other. Actually, a lot of the time they just forget to giveth entirely.

I should've mentioned that I do know about homebrew I just don't do it, for some reason, nothing against it. At the risk of looking hypocritical, whilst I don't intend to buy an NTSC Wii...I do actually have an NTSC SNES, so i can import the original, although I have heard good things about the DS remake!

The DS one's not really a remake, and the part i love (which i'm sure has many RPG fans screaming in anger) is that they've replaced the menu/turn driven combat with hack 'n slash action.

Dante Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Rumor: The Last Story is Coming to Europe Our James McWhirter from over at the 3DS Tribe has some juicy gossip for us straight from the London MCM. Upon questioning the Nintendo representatives there this weekend, James was able to learn that we can expect to see The Last Story (Wii) released in Europe! It’s nice to see them change their minds about not releasing it here. Let’s hope that we’ll see Pandora’s Tower released in Europe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 http://www.livewii.fr/news/157432-Sakaguchi_confirme_The_Last_Story_en_Europe Confirmed? I put the story through the google translator and got this. Good news never comes alone, after the ticket here on Xenoblade Chronicles, we go on to another big RPG on the Wii in recent months, namely The Last Story supervised by Hironobu Sakaguchi himself. If he did not have the same privileges of rave reviews about it, the RPG from Mistwalker has nevertheless managed to unite a lot of people thanks to its intrinsic qualities and skills of the creator. Grosse given so far in the unknown, the European release has been implicitly confirmed by Sakaguchi himself Gameblog our colleagues on the occasion of his recent visit to Paris. Indeed, if you follow the Sieur via Twitter, you probably know that he recently offered a short trip in the French capital and he was pleased to photograph a little everything crossed. But this is not the subject since the confirmation of the location from the creator of jeui itself, there remains now little room for doubt. It also joins us our sources indicated that the location of the game would begin after those Xenoblade Chronicles and Dragon Quest VI completed and that a possible release early 2012 was possible, priority year-end is a link and Skyward Sword. Suffice to say that the news of the Wii started well and that their week ascension good news is surely to be expected, E3 is fast approaching.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) The US is kicking off over Xenoblade and the French Nintendo Director decides to rub salt into their wounds. Coming from Ludovic Lamouroux, Nintendo France Product Director... "Xenoblade will arrive in September on Wii, like The Last Story in 2012." Well, you can't get any more direct than that. Now it's time for your move, Nintendo of America! Edited June 26, 2011 by Hero-of-Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Rumour: The Last Story renamed The Last World for the release in Europe on February 24 After various evidences about its arrival in Europe such as the inclusion in the Nintendo line-up announced during the 2011 GamesCom, and a playable and localised demo in Vienna Game City, some interesting rumors about The Last Story have surfaced in the last hours, and that’s something you cannot really expect. First and foremost, the release date: February 24 seems the day chosen by Nintendo of Europe to launch in our stores the last effort of Final Fantasy creator and award-winning designer Hironobu Sakaguchi; secondly, the name: it seems that The Last World will be the title which will appear on the cover instead of the one we all know. Other news concerning Nintendo games out next year are spreading all over the web: Fortune Street, the Wii board game featuring characters from two of the biggest video game series, has been set for a release on January 5, and it will be renamed Boom Street as some rumors on an Australian forum pointed out some months ago. Moreover, one of the many DS sleeper hits will see the arrival of a (already available in Japan) sequel: Inazuma Eleven 2 will be released at the end of January, but there are no information about how it will appear in European stores, since the original game was split into two versions: Fire and Blizzard.

Andyliini Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 As with Pandora's Tower the official site is now open. Names have been changed here too: Elza is now Zael and Ruli Island is Lazulis Island. No biggies, i guess. It also seems to be rated 16 by PEGI, and includes the Wi-Fi mode.
