Xenoblade Coming to North America?

Update: Nintendo has confirmed a North American release for Xenoblade. No word on whether it's actually GameStop-exclusive or not.

 

Gamers have been clamoring for a North American release of the epic Xenoblade Chronicles, but up until recently, Nintendo had been pretty firm in their refusal to bring the game overseas. As of today, however, the future of the title seems to be in flux, with a NeoGAF user reporting that Chronicles may in fact see a North American release, albeit as a GameStop exclusive.

The story broke as the result of a leaked internal screenshot from a GameStop store, and the chain has long been known for guessing/predicting release dates both correctly and very, very incorrectly. That being said, Nintendo seems to be stoking the flames of rumor, and has recently begun to add Xenoblade images to its Facebook page.


There has been no official confirmation from either GameStop or Nintendo, so we’ll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out. If the information does turn out to be true, look for Xenoblade Chronicles to hit shelves near you in April of 2012.


Would you like to see Xenoblade come to North America? Do you think making it an exclusive is the right plan?

ran the PAL version on CFG USB loader and forced NTSC. Worked great. Ending Mechon areas felt boring tho.

Gamestop exclusive would be strange, great that it is coming though

One justification for the exclusive I've seen is that it allows Nintendo to control its risk. With controlled supply, they don't have to worry about releasing too many copies and having them languish on shelves.

Too little, too late, I pulled the trigger and downloaded the European version just yesterday. I was tired of waiting years with random rumors of a US version constantly popping up then being denied, at that point I had pretty much considered a US port never going to happen. The companies should work for the customer, not the other way around.

Maybe they should have listened to that interview with Gabe Newell a few days ago where he claimed one of the biggest reasons people pirate is avalibility, if you take months to release the damn game in a region, people will pirate it instead of wait to pay for it years later.
