0_0 seriously...? Pandora's Tower looks mega fucking cool. How is collecting flesh from beasts in towers not cool? This does not compute with me. You've got an awesome chain that acts as a Zelda/Metroid style hookshot/grapple beam, materials to gather for weapon upgrades, elemental towers/dungeons with puzzles and traps, etc. Get the fuck out of here, the game looks awesome!
And who cares if the scores were mediocre, that's not the point. The point is WE HAVE ZERO GAMES TO PLAY ON WII. These 3 games that people are campaigning for are the most relevant cases of NOA's localization incompetency. God damn this shit just boils my blood.

Someone let me know when a campaign like this starts happening with The Last Story. Then I'll join in.
I was excited for Xenoblade until I saw the Last Story.

I hear more positive comments for Xenoblade, but I'd want both to release.EmmanuelMunoz said:

XB getting localized means a better chance for TLS to get localized.

Hey guys, I want to explain Xenoblade in a few short sentence that details it's pedigree and what it's about. Can someone help me out? I know almost nothing other than big world.

In reality, the campaign is for Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower equally. Xenoblade just seems to be the one most are after.

Also people should take into account people that would buy this because they see it on the shelves or when a review is actually done that aren't taking part in this. Hopefully it should off set those that don't go through with the pre-order. Then again maybe some might be so into this that they just might go through in the end feeling they should see this all the way. Either way we get the game if they do release it.
If it doesn't sell that's pretty much Nintendo's fault as well for not fostering a larger market. They as the console maker and publishers/developer should be on top of these things if they wish their own IPs to do well on their own system.
Out of all the games Xenoblade should be the one that should have come over with no questions asked due to the history of the Xeno series outside of Japan. Xenogears and all three Xenosaga games. Especially with Xenogears being released on PSN recently. There is an established market for that IP specifically. Them holding back the other two might be understood since they are new. However money was spent on making those games. They did not get that money back on just Japan only sales. They should be released in all markets due to that alone if Nintendo doesn't like to waste money.

It's a single player MMO where you can basically go anywhere and do most anything. It's a game that rewards exploration, but is also enjoyable to just run straight through.

I, for one, do want Pandora because it just plain looks like a good game.

I understand that, but I don't want to pre-order a game that I likely won't buy. Like the first reply to this thread stated, that would only make the campaign backfire.
Phoenix_Apollo said:
I don't think that's necessarily true. Xenoblade is the poster child because it's confirmed for translation and we can pre-order it. It's only natural that it would gain the most momentum since we can show our support in more ways.
Edited to clarify who I was talking to.

I've sent in my Amazon preorder for Monado. Hopefully NoA will actually listen this time.
Red Sun Gamer's impressions of Pandora's Tower in their most recent podcast were quite positive and made me very interested in playing it - more than The Last Story. Of course, Xenoblade is the big one.Takao said:

Who's it by? I know it's Monolith, but I heard the team is pretty famous too. I'm not a big RPG player so I don't know. Former Xenosaga team?

I don't know too much about it either, outside of the stunning environments and amazing music.
As soon as I saw this video I decided to purchase it without hesitation.
Xenoblade Field Exploration (Some location spoilers)
This should be posted somewhere in the campaign for people who want to see what the game has to offer.

Yeah, there's a lot of talent from the Xenosaga games. Plus, an awesome composer for the musical score (including one piece from Mitsuda).

Yeah, it's by Monolith Soft (Not be confused with Monolith Productions, makers of F.E.A.R. and No One Lives Forever), the former creators of Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos.
I'd love to, but my English is so bad...Cow Mengde said:
Why not look through Bepbos impressions? And mention that it's the best RPG of the generation according to some Japanese meta-review site. I believe it also was GotY on 4Gamer or something. I've also heard several times that it's supposedly the best JRPG since Chrono Trigger, but I've never played Chrono Trigger...

Japanese impressions suggest that Xenoblade is one of the finest JRPGs this generation has to offer, so I'm personally more interested in that one.EmmanuelMunoz said:

Holy Shit! Haven't seen a lot of videos for Xenoblade. Is that really a Wii game? :OM_Night said:

Yeah, and that's not even a big budget release game.
Imagine if this had gotten the backing that an Assassin's Creed does. People really undersell what the Wii can do.
I've done my part and pre-ordered.
Having played all the games, Xenoblade is definitely what we should be asking for first. It's pretty awesome.
I thought Pandora's Tower was, different, but not bad. Last Story wasn't too bad either, and I enjoyed the story anyways. It's a bit more full-fledged than Pandora's Tower was, at any rate. Also, if they kept the Japanese VA option for both games, that would be amazing too, since that's happening with Xenoblade in EU.

Yep! Now if only there WiiU game was backed with as much resources from Nintendo like if it were a Mario or Zelda game. Imagine the possibilities!AceBandage said:

I'm actually most interested in Pandora's Tower. Story sounds good, art looks gorgeous.

Dont forget the soundtrack is amazingly good.

When I played Sengoku Basara 3 running on MT Framework Lite, I felt like running out and beating every 3rd party that put a C-team using a fifty cent Gamecube engine for a Wii game to death.
Hell yeah it is! Especially from the people it comes from!Teknoman said:

It is. Also: Basically no load times even when using quick travel. There are some rough edges, graphically, but all in all, it's simply mindblowing. The first time you enter the fields is something else. The first time you witness nightfall in the swamps... You really have to see for yourself. This game is something else.Shadowlink said:

I'm really hoping this campaign works. I'm glad to see that it has a fast start -- but we need for it to keep its legs.
I wonder if we'll hear anything from NoA monday? My guess is a big, fat "No."
