NoA, please don't turn into Activision :cry: :Pkhoofia_pika

Nintendo doesnt release first person shooters every year. So you have nothing to worry about ;)

There has been an update for the situation:

[QUOTE="IGN"] Updated 6/27/11: The Amazon.com pre-order campaign for Xenoblade/Monado resulted in the game becoming #1 on the website's pre-order list. Additionally, Nintendo has informed me that it is aware of the "Missing Wii Games"/Operation Rainfall movement and that it will have a statement on the matter. At the moment I don't have definitive word on when that statement will arrive. bbkkristian

Linky

Absolutely no emotion in the statement from Nintendo and its really hard to figure out what their answer will be. :?

Let's hope they actually give us a proper heads up soon.

I know. I'm sick of constantly checking to see if any new info on the game has been released. I just want a definitive answer. If they say yes, then I will be happy, and if they say know, then I'll just move on. I still think it's pretty cool how the fans are rallying together for this though. I've been trying to do my part. It'd be a shame to miss out on the game.

I'll be looking at ign alot to see when Nintendo gives their response to the "missing Wii games." I just hope that the response comes sooner, rather than later, and that its an answer that actually tells us "they are coming" or "no, we will not bring them" rather than an answer that is basicly dodging the question.

I'll be getting xenoblade for sure, though I have not preodered since I dont have a job or a credit card. Since I have a pocket full of money, I'll get it when it launches.

Although it is weird it is like Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe switched places.

Last Gen Nintendo of America was great and localized a lot of great games and Nintendo of Europe I heard people complaigning about not getting localized games.

This Gen Nintendo of America is the one not localizing games and Nintendo of Europe is localizing a lot more games.

Is this a prequel or a sequel to XenoGears? Because only games that are connected to XenoGears should have Xeno in a game.

They named it Xenoblade because it is the same director of Xenogears and Xenosaga.

That's cool. But unless it's connected to the Xeno games I don't see why he's attaching the Xeno name to it, other than to attract Xeno games fans. And this is a Qiu game? Any combat similarities to XenoGears?

It's just a name and yes Nintendo wanted to put the Xeno name in Xenoblade to interest Xeno Fans.

Just like The Last Story sounds like Final Fantasy and oh look the guy who made Final Fantasy made The Last Story.

Indeed, it's not big deal, I respect the game directors decision on this one.

Canadians can now Pre-Order the game.

Monando is Falling down to 4th to 5th.

We just need to keep it in the top 20 till Saturday to leave a Mark on Amazon. I would be nice if it stays on the Top 5.

If Xenoblade localization is successful I'm curious to see how things will go from there. After all, a lot of big upcoming RPGs for other platforms may not be getting localized either. If the West doesn't get Tales of Xilia, Valkyria Chronicles 3, Fire Emblem DS 2, Miles Edgeworth 2, etc. a lot of people are gonna be disappointed. Who knows though, maybe fans will be more likely to speak up after this campaign... at least I hope they will. Not introducing new series is one thing, taking away existing ones is another. It's getting to the point where some Eastern devs are giving up on America. We need to convince them not to.

Faithful members are looking at twitter facebook for Operation Rainfall.

also look at the Pages of Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower on Gamesites to make it rise on Gamestats.

I'd definitely buy a Wii U if Nintendo greenlit Xenosaga IV. The sad part is, there couldn't be a better time for a Xenosaga IV. But it'll never happen. *sigh*

Nintendo asked them to rename it after the Xeno games to attract/troll Xeno fans.

Fortunately this is getting attention in Japan and if this is successful then maybe Japanese developers will stop trying to "please" gamers in the Western market and be reassured that their games do have an audience in the West

Don't know. IGN reports it because they feel responsible because it originated from their Forums.

Actually yeah, Why didn't Gamespot make a Story? It was #1 on freakin' Amazon.com that's actually pretty big.

Despite what you say, the Thread may have left the 1st page in Gamespot, That doesn't mean that it isn't getting support.
