Any word on if this is just an import or an actual US release. I recall EB doing the same thing years back with Shenmue 2 for Dreamcast if I'm not mistaken it was the European version.
Kinda mad. I wanted it to stay a EU/JP exclusive.

LOL I just ordered the import yesterday. Classic timing
Can someone go confirm this? Anyone?
I can't really imagine Gamestop selling a game in stores that doesn't play in a US Wii without tinkering.
Since most people that wanted the game just imported it the NA sales will be really low. NoA will use this as an excuse to not import anything else.
Just buy it from NoE and let NoA burn. Dont give them anything.
I now regret buying the PAL version.

A retailer exclusive might have been the only way this game was going to be released, I'm sorry but that's the reality of it.Fuck, I want this game but I don't like this trend. We've gone from horrible exclusive pre-order content to now exclusive whole games? What's next, Xbox Infinity Gamestop exclusive?
The game is terrible why would anybody want to buy it? Reggie should cancel this.
linkA deep breath of fresh air for an arguably stagnant genre, Xenoblade Chronicles is essential gaming for anybody with a flavour for role playing. It represents the absolute best of what traditional Japanese RPGs could be, and triumphantly what Japanese RPGs should be. 9.5/10
Those two statements make no sense together.Since most people that wanted the game just imported it the NA sales will be really low. NoA will use this as an excuse to not import anything else.

Absolutely. Might even buy a copy for every Wii owner I know.Also, question to those who imported the game: Would you buy the US version just to support it?

Yes, it's a screenshot of GS's Wii release schedule.Wait, is there supposed to be some kind of evidence pic in the OP? Nothing's loading.
Why? You got to play it half a year early and you have a copy that will probably be worth more in the long run. I'm just torn if I should sell my copy and get an American version or something. I mean I assume it's the PAL version with the region protection cut out. I doubt they did a complete re-voice of the game.
Also, I wonder what this means for Last Story and Pandora's Tower. (Obviously any of this only applies if this ends up being true.)

Entitlement generation. Can't be said enough.
In the past GS has brought over imports for region locked consoles (I bought Metal Slug and Radiant Silvergun for Saturn there) although admittedly the region bypassing was much easier with Saturn/Dreamcast.Wii is region locked.
This is true.Hard to say how many imported. I doubt it was a significant amount to be honest. You also have to factor in how many people that would buy a game just by looking at it in the store. I'm sure there are people that simply couldn't be bothered to import either.
I really don't care if this have the british dubs.
Reality Check: The amount of people that imported is a very, very, very small number in the grand scheme of things.Since most people that wanted the game just imported it the NA sales will be really low. NoA will use this as an excuse to not import anything else.
I do. The British dub is nice, but I want superior American VA.
"The best RPG on a console since Chrono Trigger."It lives up to Bebpo's review and the impressions in the Japanese OT, but professional reviews oversell games they like they usually do.
So with The Last Story coming in late February or early March to Europe, when is the US getting it?
One Infinite Undiscovery dub, coming right up!
Gamestop? Pass.
