Interesting,because it is normally the other way round.
We Europeans didn't get Earthbound,Chrono Trigger,Ogre Battle 64,I think even Final Fantasy VI wasn't released here until many years later through Virtual Console and Remakes.
Interesting at least to see it turned around.

Relevant paragraph:
English:
For the Wii's dying breaths, Nintendo Europe wants to spoil us at all costs. Proof? The 7 big titles presented at E3, add to those Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower (yes, it has been confirmed for Europe with a big smile) and [you'll understand what we mean]
Their source is Livewii.fr--the main story both on the linked blog and Livewii.fr is about a collector's edition for Xenoblade Chronicles in Europe--who don't mention anything about Pandora's Tower and who are sourcing Go Nintendo... who are in turn sourcing GAF.
So, uh... it's not clear to me where the blog is getting it from. LiveWii also claims, incorrectly, that Xenoblade is the second Monolithsoft game not being released over here; Disaster is one, sure, but they're also excluding Soma Bringer and Super Robot OG Saga 2, and those are just releases that haven't made it over here since Nintendo bought MonolithSoft.

Weird that they linked the wrong story in the blog post.
So the actual statement, then:
Matthew Minel, Director of Marketing, Nintendo France;
Q: So is the Last Story coming out?
A: We're in the US, so we can't speak about The Last Story... We hope it'll be released. We are only allowed to say "hope"... Hope is promising... just like with Pandora's Tower", he said with an enormous smile.

If The Last Story, Xenoblade, and Pandora's Tower all get released in Europe we just need Captain Rainbow and Zangeki no Reginleiv to be fan-translated and we're all set! That's not too much to ask, right?
EDIT: And Card Hero for the DS, that's it!
That's it for Nintendo published titles, anyway, add in 7th Dragon and then I'm all set.

I'm quite cautious on this source...
But if this is true, Wii's scheduled is getting seriously packed in Europe. Definitely not a dead system anymore!

My theory is that the people who make the decisions these days in NoE are the very people who felt slighted that all those games didn't make it here back then, and they're going the extra mile to try to make sure it doesn't keep happening.
It almost makes me forgive them Excitebots.

I guess you gave up on Takt of Magic, Kensax, Soma Bringer, Friend Collection, Kuriken Nano Island Story, Tingle DS 2, Chibi Robo DS 2, and Project Hacker

What about Jet Impulse?

Even I've given up on that one and ASH, both of which were marketed (I have the press media releases myself), translated, tested (confirmation from an NOA product tester), and in ASH's case ESRB'd.... and then never released domestically

I thought that The Last Story in EU already was confirmed. Am I wrong?

Aeana and I were having a little spat about this a few weeks ago. There's been a variety of small Euro blogs who have claimed that anonymous Nintendo reps have "confirmed" the Last Story for Europe to them. There's been a variety of french outlets who have claimed that Sakaguchi "confirmed" the Last Story for Europe to them. They registered the domain name.
However. none of the confirmations ever have exact quotes, and I suspect the actual confirmations were coy like the one I posted above. So I would call it likely, but not confirmed. She felt it counted as confirmation.
I would be happy to provide exact translations of any French articles posted on any websites to investigate it further or clear up any ambiguities.

Shit. Well, there are good possibilities anyway.

Ok. Let's keep fingers crossed!

I think it probably will come out, it's just that with Nintendo you never know until you get a release date. Plenty of games have been 'confirmed' only to go AWOL for years like Jam with the Band or Tingle, or be canceled altogether like ASH.

I never thought, in my lifetime, I would say hate and Nintendo so close together..
But I violently despise Nintendo of America right now.

Well, it's officially completed to 97,93%, but you won't see more than one or two Japanese sentences in the game (and I'm not underplaying it: when I played it I've seen exactly one Japanese sentence). One has to be a real nitpicker to pass on it because of that.Stumpokapow said:
It's also a really solid effort. Who is still interested in the game, should give it a go. The Japanese version is rather cheap to boot. The gameplay is rather mediocre, though, but it has a nice story and a rich world.
I'll believe this when it's officially announced by NoE. Putting any kind of trust in a news from either Nintendo-Master or LiveWii would be like taking for granted something from a website like Sponge without the e or The-Magicbox.
And, more on topic : has anyone on GAF actually played Pandora's Tower ? Seems like JGAF didn't even bother with it.

Wow, Pandora's Tower comes to Europe! Unexpected but brilliant news!
That means (PAL) Wii's last year potentially looks like this:
I believe Fortune Street is the only one that has yet to be specifically confirmed for PAL regions.
PS. NoE, please add Takt of Magic, Captain Rainbow, Excitebots and Zangeki no Regenliev! Thanks for the effort! (Love you long time!)

Motion seconded. What the actual fuck is going on over there in regards to localizing this stuff? Even looking at it with eyes beyond that of a frustrated gamer it makes no sense, why wouldn't you localize this stuff to keep a steady stream of titles and interest for the Wii, especially now as it's getting ready to take a step down from being the main Nintendo console? They're leaving money on the table and giving me more reasons to be extremely salty about how Wii software gets handled here in the US.
