  • Now only if they can get on of those super robot og's over here they can get some credit

  • Xenoblade is such an amazing game, I hope lots of American gamers end up buying it.

  • i love k-news!

  • Looks like operation rainfall u could say it was a success... It ain't over until we get the Last story, we can live without pandoras tower,

  • Atleast we know now Bamco is listening to there fans. Even though people where blaming this on Nintendo it not coming sooner I think it more had to do with Bamco cause they are know to pull stunts where certain games by them are only release in certain region. But I'm glad Namco Bandai is releasing this & Tales of Graces F in the US next year. Trust me I'm really looking forward to both games now if only we can get Bandai Namco to listen & release .hack//LINK & the new .hack PS3 game n the US

  • It's hard to believe I'll finally get this game. FINALLY!

  • YES!!!im so happy for this 1 down 2 more to go let´s hope that they don¨t move them to the wii u

  • well I've seen enough, Xenoblade is not for me, however congrats to operation rainfall.

  • Congratulations Team Rainfall, you've won this round, and Xenoblade is finally going to be released in the US.

    But the battle still isn't over. Pandora's Tower and The Last Story are also games you're campaigning to get released in the US, and now that we have Xenoblade ready to be put on the American market, nothing can stop us!

    Keep it up, Operation Rainfall people!

  • @CoolTom1337 Primarily the Last story

  • @DR2236Lucas What about Pandora's Tower?

  • @CoolTom1337 Its the lowest rated of them all, but that means it scored great but not superb and spectacular like the others, we "could" live without it

  • @DR2236Lucas Are you trying to imply it sucks?

  • @CoolTom1337 No, but it ain't as good as the others, its like comparing assasin's creed to skyrim.

  • @DR2236Lucas Yeah, but I'm looking forward to Pandora's Tower the most, it'll be the reason why Shadow of the Colossus and Breath of Fire CAN mix.

  • I am so happy Nintendo will finally release Xenoblade in North America!:D

  • what about the las story and pandora's tower? those were the ones i was looking forward to

  • @BLOODBATHDAVID Still working towards those

  • a problem though will Xenoblade sell well?

    due to alot of people not expecting the game to come out for US at all many people ended up importing it its very well possible that the US version wont sell as well as it should have

  • @iceyflamez I'm sure it will sell. I mean I have yet to see a game sell better in another country than America.

  • AWWWWWWWWWW

    YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • my questions are is their any news about the other big wii titles coming Starfox perhaps Thumbs for a starfox

  • WHAT about last story ? 

  • The Game was great, too a certain point... The whole anti God BS, annoys me in these types of games.

  • Gratz from Sweden.

  • Xenoblade looks freaking awsome :D!

    I just hopes it comes to Europe too

  • @Mannetasi

    It came out in Europe already check your local video game store.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 this looks like a pretty good game but, i bet out of all the people that was a part of rainfall like 50% might buy the game and the rest will try to either download it, borrow from a friend or just wait untill it is used!

  • Xenogears. Xenosaga. Finally, I can have Xenoblade. Thank. God. Now...Mega Man Legends needs love.

  • I think Nintendo played it smart by making it a Gamestop exclusive to see how the sales fair. Though I will be pre-ordering on Nintendo's site. It's up to us to prove Nintendo good JRPGs are alive and well in America.

  • I loved xenoblade, really glad to see that even more people get to experience what is basically the best RPG of this generation.

  • Cool. So any info about operation MoonFall?

  • @SuperGenesisDude Nintendo said they want to get a new Zelda out before they release Majora's Mask 3D. They also said they really wanted to do it.

  • Even though I live in Europe, I'm glad this game is out in any region now.

  • /watch?v=FQ2oatU7L04

  • If this goes well, we can expect a new character for SSB Wii U.

  • @MarkC18 that would be so epic im british and think the characters will work well in it

  • Even though I'm from Europe I'm glad NOA finally saw sense to release this awsome game over in the States

    You guys are in for a treat :D

  • It's so cool we are getting Xenoblade now and can't wait to play it but off topic wonder when Nintendo will release the 3rd wave of Nintendo Selects it's about time for another giving the time line wave 1 was May and wave 2 was August have any clues Kwing? I personally hope next time Wii Sports Resort will be one I've wanted that game but didn't feel it was worth $40-$50.

  • Wow, nice to see for once that a fan campain actually worked!

  • :) Yay XenoBlade, Time to dust my wii, :)

  • Cool! Now you need to focus on The Last Story :P

  • Happy for you guys, I loved Xenoblade.

  • Speechless

  • I like how they inserted the line, "Sorry to keep you waiting!" Between this and Kid Icarus, it seems like Nintendo's new trend for delayed games.

  • 300hrs on all my files combined on Xenoblade and i still play it. :D

    One of the best games of this console generation, for sure!!!

  • Kwing, I own Xenoblade (live in The Netherlands) and I must say, you chose the worst trailer possible! There are way better (official) ones and this one has WAY to many spoilers in it! And this one doesn't show the feel of the game and the many possibility for things for you to do. Pleas show a different trailer soon because this one is just bad.

  • @ClemtoonLovezAll

    This trailer is the one US press has permission to use atm. Its the official US trailer or was atleast.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Hey KWing,same guy who mentioned about the details of Game Notes some time ago. Still a big fan ^_^ I want to mention though that Xenoblade has yet to be confirmed for Canada, as the releases at work state explicitly that it is expected to only come to the US, bummer for Canadians like myself, but Im hoping to see it brought north of the border as well, if not now, maybe a short time after.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Ok then, true everyone should be able to play it, but think of all the games you got that we didnt

  • Yay, Xenoblade =D

    Omg I'm so happy for u guys.

    I've been playing this game since its european release pretty much every day and I'm still not done. YES that's how huge it is. Everyone needs to play this.

    Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did

    Greetz from germany ^_^

  • oh, it still has british voice acting? it would've been great to hear the american versions of the characters.. but its a great game anyway so i'm not complaining

  • probably in my top 3 games ever made along with dragon quest 8 and ys 1+2, i'm glad it got a US release too. wouldn't want you guys to have to wait 15 years for a 5DS port of the game now would we *grumble* :P

  • It's good to see that the Operation was a success.

    I hope the Operation for localizing Tales of Xillia will reach its victory aswell!

  • I heard about it eariler luke xenoblade did sell very well in europe,i guess becuase of that and operation rainfall noa took notice.Now if only the last story would be consider for a u.s release i'd hate going through the trouble to import it.

  • It isn't fair to say that Xenoblade Chronicles will be the last great Wii game, it is a 2010 game, because well let's face it, Japan exists.

  • So is Monado: Beginning of the World, the game Operation Rainfall supporters preordered on Amazon, still going to be called Xenoblade? I have been a little confused about that since I made the preorder.

  • ....i want operation moonfall -_-

  • Time to break out the champagne.

  • I have been a member of Operation Rainfall from the time of its inception during late June. It feels incredible that I have been an active member for that movement for more than five months, and we have now achieved one of our three original goals. Now it is time to move onto the other two as well as spread the word of Xenoblade. Thank you for your support so far as well.

    On another note, what do you mean the Tales series campaign didn't work? At least one of them has worked (ie ToG F).

  • Today has been such a great day.

  • I cant wait I need a job now

  • yesssssssssssssss

  • I'm starting to wonder if the reason why NOA didn't publish it in 2011 was because of weak currency exchange. Like or not the dollar right now is very very weak compared to Yen and Euros.

  • April is a long wait and it seams more of a crappy date to me

  • I thought Operation Rainfall was to get "The Last Story" localized for North America.

  • I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I played the Mother 3 fan translation, and found the game an overall disappointment. You can't say that "I just hate the series", because my favorite game of all time is EarthBound on the Super Nintendo. I've also played and really enjoyed Mother 1, but Mother 3 is just a terrible, terrible game.

  • @PSISpecter what really? why not like it?

  • @DawnofStorms74 The game gave me severe headaches while playing. I didn't like the permanent sadness of the plot, compared to mixed feelings the previous games gave you. Plus, I won't give anything away, but the ending was absolutely horrible and empty.

  • @PSISpecter hmm neverd saw it that way. I do apologize what do you mean by "I won't give anything away?" wait also empty? i just want to know forgive lol

  • @DawnofStorms74 By "I won't give anything anyway", I meant I won't give away the ending.

  • Ok so one is done, two to go! The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, you must come! lol

  • Now lets get The Last Story over here. It is the more important one of the three

  • Don't you think you will be really disappointed by it now. I mean I am in the UK and have the game and it is a great game, but it isn't phenominal. So I was really impressed by it, but I think this campaign and aprehension for it might dissappoint you guys?

  • Now with Xenoblade Chronicles confirmed for North America, WHAT ABOUT THE LAST STORY, AND PANDORA'S TOWER?!

  • This is great, but the mission is only 1/3 complete! The Last Story and Pandora's tower are still wanted!

  • I need new pants but anywayI knew we were going to get this but what about the other 3 (earthseeker,last story and Pandora tower

  • Cool, I'll reserve it in Jan. Still wanna get Sin & Punishment as well.

  • This has been a great day, but we only have 33% success, let's make it 100%.

  • Misson fucking accomplished Op Rainfall, now we need the other games.

  • 4:26 i think that was intentional.

  • I was pumping my fist in the air at my college when I saw this news. People looked at me like I was an idiot, but it was so exciting! :D

    Operation Rainfall shouldn't stop here. They should try getting The Last Story and Pandora's Tower localized here.

    But we need to start more operations, like getting the Earthbound series on the Virtual Console and releasing Earthbound Zero and Mother 3 for the USA. That series was another awesome franchise from Hal Labs and should be released...it needs to be!

  • @LevyTheAmishMan I'd like to see them doing similar operations, such as Operation Earthbound. (And I did not realize that Earthbound was partly HAL Labaratories' handiwork, that is incredibly interesting.) I also would like to see a new full Duck Hunt game that isn't relegated to a godawful collection of minigames (Wii Play anyone?).

  • @BJWanlund I can see Duck Hunt, either on the Wii or the 3DS. But then again, the one for the 3DS would be really easy. lol

    And yes, Hal Laboratory Inc. designed the Mother series. Mother 3 was an incredible game from what I had seen from LPs from chuggaaconroy and NCS.

  • @LevyTheAmishMan Too bad that in order for me to play the fan-translated ROM, I'll have to actually buy the cartridge, which is in Japanese, I might add.

    Do I really have to buy something I'l never play due to the language barrier in order to play a translated version?

  • @RocMegamanX I give the people who translated it a lot of credit for a making the dialogue of a great game into English. Even though you need an emulator to play the ROM translation, it's still a great translation.

    But I said that they need to localize it for the 3DS shop (since they are going to do GBA games for it)

  • man i loved playing this game :D all of u r going to enjoy the great story of this epic game

  • Skyward sword isnt the last good game for the wii and thank you Kwing for listenting to my personal message about the 10 free GBA games for the ambassador program.

  • This game looks epic!

  • Awesomeness; 1 game down 2 to go ^_^

  • I wake up today and, BAM, Xenoblade is coming to America. Forget about Folgers Coffee, I'll take some Xenoblade in my cup.

  • Thumbs up if you think Mother 3 should of released in the US

  • i will be happy like you too when i get my MK7 =)

  • well i hope that all those people who were complaining will buy it

    otherwise we are not getting pandoras tower and the last story

  • This is freaking fantastic.

  • >Release Date

    >April 2012

    NOT SO FAST OPERATION RAINFALL!

    Joking aside I don't think Operation Rainfall had any part in it coming to the states. I think it has everything to do with the one million copies it sold in Europe and AUS (that's combined, no separate),

  • one last question, will operation rainfall stop now or will they continue to do petitions for the last story and pandora's tower?

  • @bigbardos

    im sure they aren't done. If anything this will fuel them a lot more.

  • @bigbardos We are going to continue until all 3 games are released.

  • @bigbardos Yeah, it's great that Xenoblade Chronicles is coming! But to make sure we'll be able to see the other two games, we need to make sure Xenoblade sells, while at the same time still campaigning for The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, so basically, We're continuing on with the campaign as long as the other two are still unconfirmed :)

  • @OperationRainfall can you guys mention earth seeker too?? I really want a US version of that game but its not mentioned that often.

  • @OperationRainfall didn't know you had a youtube channel as well, I wish you good luck, and hope that even people outside the project realize how good and important xenoblade is and buy it, so that you in the US can get this games too, and in my opinion you shouldn't stop there, more like just do a break till there is another situation were you will need suport for another game, maybe for another console or generation

  • at least in europe the last story had been anounced a wile back toghether with xenoblade and due to the amazing sales of xenoblade, pandoras tower has been confirmed too. Fron now if this games have to be released in the US it would not depend so much on how they do outside of the US as much as Xenoblade sales do there, so I hope it realy sales well because it is a realy good game and opens the door to other high aclaimed games

  • Signing up for that petition is the least I can do for my fellow Americans.

    /A European.

  • @Ozqawr Thank you for your help. Now if only we can get Xenogears, Parasite Eve, and Chrono Cross in Europe.

  • mother 3 should have been released on virtual console

  • Those are some really great news! And the trailer looks amazing, it gave me chills :3

  • This game looks amazing. I think it looks even better than Skyward Sword, and that's saying a lot from me since I love the graphics of Skyward Sword. This looks as good as any 360 game that I've seen.

  • WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Xenoblade for the NA region! I do not have to mod or import to own. Excellent.

    =D

  • Um. I already imported a European copy T_T

  • One down, two to go!

  • I'm happy we're getting this! I'm picking it up day one.

  • Xenoblade! Xenoblade!Xenoblade!Xenoblade! We did it! too bad we did not succeed with winter....

  • @RPGchallenger

    Winter needed 20,000 sigs to get it a publisher. We almost got Sega but the fanbase got the sigs up to i think it was 18K...so we were 2K short. In the Industry you have to meet a certain requirement, so that the devs can pitch the idea to a company like Capcom,Konami or Sega...and well it didn't pan out.

  • Ive never actually heard about xenoblade(besides, ofcourse, your constant remarks about it:P) Is it really that good?

  • ps i actually cried at the site of this saying we are victorious

  • cool cant wait to get it

  • I don't want Xenoblade. I want Xenophobe.

  • WOW! What is Xenoblade and where can I play it!

  • Xmas just came a couple weeks early once i heard this statement...

  • WOOT!

  • I don't know much about this game but I will purchase this day one to show support and show Nintendo that more games need to be localized.

  • Does this game support classic controller, does anybody know how this game control at all?!

  • Does this game support classic controller, or how does this game control at all?!

  • @letsplaynintendo1 I'm sure it works with the classic Controller, as the European release was bundled with a red classic controller pro.

  • @letsplaynintendo1  I have the game and it does support classic controller input.

  • Im SOO glad i signed the petition!

  • Now all we need is Last Story

  • yay!!!! now to save money for it.

  • ok that's it!!! time to get a job and get money ready for this

  • I would like this a million times if I could

  • I'm super stoked for this!

  • I'm realy happy that you in the US will get it too, but actualy I think that they already had decided to bring it a wile back but the reason it was not even anounced till now and it won't come out till April is because if they has anounced it 2 months ago the news would have gone unoticed under so much skyrim, MW3,MBF3,SR the 3rd and skyward sword news, and there are still a few strong titles coming out the next months like old republic,mass effect 3, they want to wait till there is nothing else

  • @bigbardos Thank you! Finally somebody on this comment page that sees how the game industry works. Its not the petitions or the fans that deserve thanks. Its the developers, and by that I don't mean NOA. They are just publishers after all. No hands in on the actual design, aside from some minor funding.

  • @bigbardos Xenoblade had very strong sales, my NOA rep told me they had a wait and see attitude toward Europe, if it did well, then it might release. I heard numberings that NA was going to announce a big title in Q1 2012 for Wii. But I assumed it was Mario Party something. Still this was a really cool surprise. The facebook page started teasing people late last night. But your right, all the big titles came out in Oct- Dec. So it would have been swallowed up

  • @kNIGHTWING01 kwing how are you able to get messages from NOA i want to be able to see there upcoming conferences and receive messages from them how do i do that and also Xenoblade looks like monster hunter and final fantasy put in a blender and made to a smoothy it looks great!

  • @thebmoffice

    Simple become a member of the Press. Though there aren't as many perks as you think and I work myself to the bone. When I started staying in contact with more gaming media, the release time for my reviews got much...wider. Hence why LP's and guides have been more frequent in 2011, then 2010. I took my freelancing to the next level and now its low paying almost full time job...as side from this channel & my music.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 ah great four more years till i can get a job or at least two more years until i'm. sixteen does blogs and forums count for being apart of the press?

  • @thebmoffice

    depends on where you go. Go Nintendo is Press & so is 1up..though 1up is part of IGN now...so

  • @kNIGHTWING01 I know that the sales were good, the provider were I had it reserved even put it out from the online page because they had so many units reserved that they never knew if after they got a new shipment they would had enough for all the people in line, game is awesome. Only complaines are that the landscapes are a little bit to big for how empty they are, even most regular enemies have too much healt, and that the companios IA could be better(specialy regarding lava/toxic water)

  • 20 hours into it I still havent left the first town XD there is just so much to do!

  • Weeeee did it!!!!!!

  • Very epic. but kwing, think all of us eb fans can make a petition to remake the mother series for 3ds/and or wii u?

  • @RayMaster32

    Mother or Eb would take a miracle...sadly I don't see that happening. We can try again during the next Smash Bros reveal...but frankly..i just don't know.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 I would give up on Mother. There isn't a point. The only way they would do it is if they released the Trilogy on 3DS, or the Eshop. Which I wouldn't be against. But I know it isn't going to happen. Or maybe it can. Due to the likes of great LPers like Chugga and NCS, alot of people now know about Earthbound. As such, we might be able to pull it off thanks to them. Of course, I'm not sure, but it would be worth a shot I guess...

  • @edzoologist2

    We the mother fans have been trying for a long time, we had the sigs, but Nintendo just doesn't want too. Personally I want to see StarTropics get a 3DS ware game or something. Which would open up doors for another Mother game maybe..or new IP. Who knows.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 Not to crazy bout the Startropics, but if it could help Mother, I'm in. Now, a new IP might be a good idea, but lord knows Nintendo doesn't want to try anything new. Or, at least not localize anything new, which brings me back to the fact they created a new IP in Captain Rainbow and didn't even give it a chance outside Japan. It looks like it has the makings of a hilarious game. It is literally one of the games I really wanted to see a US release of.

  • @edzoologist2

    Im with you Captain Rainbow looked really cool...but Japan has been doing this to us since the Snes days. Well im off for the night, always fun chatting with ya Ed. Have a great evening.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 You to Kwing. Catch you later.

  • amazing trailer, looking forward to launch

  • Awesome. I hope they localize the other two. Pandora's Tower is the one I want to Play the most.

  • @gamercat86 Same here, but atleast now I have a reason to keep my Wii around, because I was thinking as soon as I beat Skyward Sword, I would sell the Wii. Not the games because I was thinking about getting the Wii U and since its plays Wii games I should keep them.

  • AWESOME! Now if we could just get Mega Man Legends 3.

  • @calhounnick15 That's a tree i'd never try to bark up. Capcom will never listen. They never have, not in their 40+ years of game development.Proof of this can be seen in the change made to their most recent success, Devil may cry. all the backlash, and Not a single accommodation was made for it all. its not gonna turn out like the infamous 2 situation, where the look was changed back by popular demand.Capcom's not a company that cares for the will of the people. Not by a long shot.

  • I can't wait.

  • I hope Xenoblade Chronicles is good/ does well in sales. Otherwise NOA will never listen to us again. Either way, great job all!

  • Comment removed

  • now who says Nintendo doesn't care? get out of here 

  • I read about this during my break at college... needless to say, I smiled. A lot.

    Good job, Operation Rainfall!!

  • This is the first video I watched with the new YouTube Look

  • YESZ! I'm totally getting it!

  • HELL YES! This is progress! As you all can see, with signing the petition, writing to Nintendo, even calling them, and some patience, it does pay off! Also I am a fan of RPGs of any kind so I know I'll enjoy it! Nintendo always surprise me! Lol! I love them! :D

  • @videogameadventure might i direct your attention to my conversation with skyhawk? I'll say it again. OR did nothing more than provide free promoting. Its a strategic sales plan developed by nintendo. A petition or two, no matter the sheer scale size of it, will change a developers mind. Before patting operation rainfall on the back, grill them about the last story and pandora's tower. If it was such a huge success, where is the news of those two games?
