Thanks to Xseed Games in 2012

Takao · Feb 22, 2012

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.

inner-G · Feb 22, 2012

Nice!

nincompoop · Feb 22, 2012

Too late, already imported. What about Pandora's Tower?

Data West · Feb 22, 2012

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?

Cow Mengde · Feb 22, 2012

What the fuck?

Oddduck · Feb 22, 2012

I am really happy.

Jarlaxle · Feb 22, 2012

Awesome. Bought. Does it say when it's going to be coming out here?

Kazerei · Feb 22, 2012

Maybe this is the XSEED announcement.

TunaLover · Feb 22, 2012

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

Wilsongt · Feb 22, 2012

OMG OMG OMG! Thank you based XSEED!

LiK · Feb 22, 2012

Holy shit

RPGamer92 · Feb 22, 2012

Fuuuuuuuck yeah, than you based XSEED

Brazil · Feb 22, 2012

XSEED = the best.

Seriously. They're literally the best ever.

massoluk · Feb 22, 2012

Release date? Wonder if it's too much a hassle now to cancel my import copy.

nckillthegrimace · Feb 22, 2012

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.

ultron87 · Feb 22, 2012

Hooray!

Thank you Captain Obvious.

batbeg · Feb 22, 2012

That rocks, will support.

Stumpokapow · Feb 22, 2012

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.

Yes Boss! · Feb 22, 2012

Take a bow XSEED!

It's actually 2 days before.

Effect · Feb 22, 2012

Thank you XSEED!!!!! I wonder if they are going to redo the voice work or just use the NoE localization.

This is the big news folks should be taking from the announcement. Hopefully it's not a one-off.

Everyone should want to work with XSeed. They're pretty great

What was the Steam thing?

LiK · Feb 22, 2012

I'm gonna keep my EU LE preorder but will double dip.

When was the last time that even happened? Cubivore? :lol

Where's H. with more info

Sammy Samusu · Feb 22, 2012

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.

RPGCrazied · Feb 22, 2012

Will it come out before Graces F? Or am I dreaming? I'm going to say no.

JustAnotherOtaku · Feb 22, 2012

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.

pancakesandsex · Feb 22, 2012

I just got my shipping notification from sendit TODAY :/

Takao · Feb 22, 2012

Kazerei said:

A leak? I doubt they intended that to go into the public.

Zwei · Feb 22, 2012

What? My Last Story import order just shipped!

Eh, I don't really give a fuck; I get a steelbook.

Anyhow, all hail XSEED!

soultron · Feb 22, 2012

I must say that they've XSEEDed my expectations. Sweet!

Data West · Feb 22, 2012

See Sega. Even NoA is willing to share. So if you wanted to let someone do Kenzan/Black Panther...

Regulus Tera · Feb 22, 2012

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.

Saroyan · Feb 22, 2012

Well I guess thats pretty cool, don't have to import now. Hopefully XSEED does some kind of LE with the soundtrack.

MechaX · Feb 22, 2012

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).

also · Feb 22, 2012

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

epmode · Feb 22, 2012

Was hoping for Steam + Falcom news. Oh well.

Slime · Feb 22, 2012

Good. Now let them localize Mother 3 too.

RurouniZel · Feb 22, 2012

While my Last Story copy JUST shipped, I will buy again like with Xenoblade to support!

XSEED was a baby when Mother 3 came out.

Atmej said:

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?
