I figured this out a long time ago, but this commercial explains perfectly how Nintendo feels about their fans:

Is that possible ? Is the Wii region free ?

pppjjj

Yes it's possible, and no Wii is not region free (out of the box :twisted: ) but you can make it region free.

No don't turn to the dark side lol.

Gotta admit that NoA does push us a bit to do it.

Who added Bleach: Shattered Blade to that list? I've played that game, it is the most broken fighting game I ever played and adds to the Wii shovelare library.

I think it sucks these games aren't getting localized, but I DON'T think a boycott of everything Nintendo is worth it. Especially since it has a chance of screwing over other people, not just NoA. This may stop future localizations of any new Mario/Zelda/Pokemon game coming and knowing how popular those franchises are, we don't want that.

nintendoboy16

Yeah, probably better to just let NoA get away with whatever they want. :?

Actually I think getting Pachter's Support is a Victory for OR.

Pachter is a hardcore Nintendo fan. If it hasn't been obvious for years.

I mean think about it, He's been wanting Nintendo to go HD for Years, He said that with WiiU that Nintendo will get Epic and Valve Support, and now he does this.

I'm certain that even though most of us see him as a joke as an anaylist he's actually one of us.

If people thought it would be over in a week they were foolish people need to keep supporting it and keep demanding nintendo release these games else you just wasted everyones time even bothering...

Honestly I am sure Nintendo will release this game and at least the Last Story eventually just gotta keep pushing

There has been another update by the Operation Rainfall blog itself:


American localization of Xenoblade is complete, The Last Story is currently being translated to English for an American release, but there is no word on Pandora's Tower localization. This information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall today from a source within Nintendo who wishes to remain anonymous. There is currently no indication of when Nintendo of America plans to formally announce these titles.


Last week Nintendo of America told its followers on Facebook and Twitter that it had no plans to bring Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's tower to America "at this time." Nintendo intentionally left open the possibility of release. Allegedly, the Redmond, WA branch has been working with other branches to bring Xenoblade and The Last Story to North America.


The NSTC version of Xenoblade was completed just over a month ago. Testing for the PAL and NSTC versions of The Last Story are allegedly beginning in around a month. There is currently no word on localization for an NSTC version of Pandora's Tower.


Remember, this information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall in confidence. Until Nintendo of America makes an announcement there will be no official word of an NTSC release. However, this news has increased our hope for a North American release of these games. It could also explain why retailers like Amazon continue to have Xenoblade (Monado: Beginning of the World) listed on their website.


Make of this information what you will, but after much internal discussion Operation Rainfall believed it would be best to share this information with our followers. Consider this our announcement of a forthcoming announcement.


Help us keep the pressure on Nintendo, and hopefully we will get a formal announcement of Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower sooner rather than later. Operation Rainfall blog

Not confirmed but it looks like Operation Rainfall is having some help from the inside. :)
