Nintendo's Missing Games: Europe is Being Watched

Xenoblade. The Last Story. Pandora's Tower. To much of the gaming world, these three titles are nothing more than the latest or upcoming releases for Wii. For North American gamers, however, these three games won't see release. This controversial move by Nintendo of America has resulted in massive protests, organized in part by "Operation Rainfall," a group of fans dedicated to getting these games in stores.

So Europe could be North America's saving grace? I'm sure they'll pull through. I mean, they are my PALs after all. :D

zerocrossing4640d ago

Lol! I see what you did there. ;D

limewax4640d ago (Edited 4640d ago )

Not trying to boost PS3 here, But this is why I think all consoles should be region free, I'm in UK so this time it doesn't really make a difference for me, But there are plenty of titles that I have had without a wait thanks to that particular feature. Actually playing games now that we won't see here until December or later.

At least Wii's are dirt cheap now so for anyone who really needs these game can always buy the PAL wii for next to nothing

Edit: Corrected some spelling

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Was that supposed to be ironic?

zerocrossing4640d ago

Really? Damn that sucks! Well the way thing are going its looking more and more likely you guys in the US may get the game anyway =)

DarkZane4640d ago

I dunno where you live, but the video works here in Canada.

Spenok4640d ago

LMAO thats exactly what I got, as well as thought.

It almost sucks to be in the US for this reason alone huh?

Soplox4640d ago

Damn! Epic isn't an epic! enough word to describe just how epic! That trailer is, They may have to create a whole new word that actually captures the sheer epicenes! of that trailer. So umm yeah, I think I'll be getting this game.

im just buying old games. downloaded f zero x on virtual console. getting f zero gx too.

i cant see another f zero for another two years. well done nintendo

jacksonmichael4640d ago

Both are great. GX is a little harder than X. I resorted to going back to those games much earlier in this whole Operation Rainfall thing.

pcz4640d ago

Yeah, they are good games. I have had them both in the past. just reliving memories really.

TacoTaru4640d ago

If these games fail to come to North America I will not purchase another Nintendo system as difficult as that will be for me.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212746d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop747d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212747d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
