Had a feeling today's surprise wasn't Steam related.

Good on Nintendo for finally letting up on their death grip on internal/paid for titles.

Sounds like Pandora's Tower will be a lock if they're willing to let someone else do the work

I understand on Xenoblade, but less than a week after it came out in Europe is too late?

Most important, maybe they let other publishers handle US release for other titles.

I was going back and forth on importing, so I'm glad that I decided to wait and see if there would be a US version. I also like that NoA has loosened its grip on first party titles. That's encouraging.

I can't imagine they'll want to announce something else today given it'll be caught in a flood of news from this, and the Vita launches.

So the significant thing about this, to me, is not TLS coming (although I'll buy it!), it's that Nintendo is willing to work with external partners again.

Wow, so Nintendo is working with XSEED, that's nice.

Nintendo should allow other publishers to bring ASH, Chibi Robo, Captain's Rainbow, Fatal Frame and etc.

Great news for those of you in the US who didn't want to import. Guess it's only a matter of time until Pandora is announced for an NA release too.

This. I wasn't expecting to see XSEED pick this up precisely for this very reason.

Wait, why did Nintendo let xseed take this one out but not Mother 3? Is it the transvestites? I'm almost sure it is the transvestites.

I was actually going to import today. XSEED managed to catch this barely in time (or at the very least, better than NoA dropping the ball with Xenoblade).

Will Xseed localize it themselves or will they license NoE's localization?

XSEED was a baby when Mother 3 came out.

Likely license. IIRC they did that for Solatorobo which NOE published first.

Probably because XSEED wasn't as big back then as they are now?
