My bet is a "Nintendo source" contacted them.
Which would cast immediate suspicion on it.

Remember that NoA has completed localizations before for games such as Mother and ASH and then never actually brought them out. Even if this news is true, it doesn't guarantee that they'll release Xenoblade.

"Let's intentionally sit on a release instead of giving it any sort of consumer awareness. What brilliance! The fans already did the advertising for us!"
It reeks of "my cousin/friend/neighbour/fuck buddy who works at Nintendo".

Oh, you.
Anyway, I really do hope the games get released here. I want to support NA localizations so we don't have to worry about the future with Wii U & 3DS!

Yeah, Nintendo was "Sitting On the Announcement" because..... because....

It almost makes too much (NoA) sense that they've been planning on releasing it but are refusing to address the fan uproar.
But I refuse to get my hopes up. I will write and send a letter tomorrow.
I want to believe!

I'm still waiting for gamestation to put the game for preorder so I not going to be canceling anything so this announcement works for me. Hopefully, it comes out in the states but if not I'm already in the process of getting a second wii to mod for some PAL games I have coming anyway. I just hope we get that bundle with the red cc pro. I really want that controller. Even if this source is accurate they could still end up not being released anyway. I'll be sending in letters regardless.

Oh man, I so hope this is true. Ill feel quite disappointed with Ops Rainfall if this "development" was used to re-ignite fan passion on this issue, which going by the Nintendo FB page seems to be waning.

If true, the next step of this operation is to make sure every Wii owner buys these games.

Kinda figured it wouldn't last there, but still an achievement that it managed to be at #1 for, what, 3 days? Was an interesting fan/internet/social media "protest".

Did I miss something? What are you guys talking about? Did they say something else? Well, if its about the NA release, I wish they would announce it sooner or not at all. I need to know so I can cancel my import order. I'd rather get it day 1, not wait 3 weeks to get.

Try and be patient, Nintendo still hasn't announced their Quarter 3 Line up. I expect them to do so in the next few days. Maybe they'll finally announce it. Or will they do it at Comic Con?

Ah. So, on the Operation Rainfall blog, they say someone from within Nintendo gave them this info? That would be so lame if it was just someone trolling this.

Blog Quote: "This information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall today from a source within Nintendo who wishes to remain anonymous"
I imagine if they are really serious about trying to get this game here and not just making up crap. Then yes I assume it's a legit source from within the company. Now that doesn't mean he couldn't be lying to them. However, I don't think they would post the story if they are once again really serious about trying to get the game here.
That being said though I still wouldn't hold your breath until you hear this officially or from at least a wider known more reputable source.

Nothing I've read makes it seem like the source didn't contact them.
In which case, it's very hard to trust an unsolicited leak from an anonymous source.

All I can say is, that its possible that this is true, as Nintendo LOVES to keep secrets and doesn't comment on speculation and rumor. So, we'll have to wait and see guys, wait and see. sigh.
Hopefully they just tell us, I'm really not up to paying 80+ for a wii game.

I don't buy it. Also my import is cheaper than U.S. MSRP even with shipping. Also I'd rather give my money to NoE.

Uh, how much are you getting it for? Just out of curiosity. As in Canada Wii games are usually 55-65 (with tax)SerArthurDayne said:

Yes, Id like to know this as well, as Im not to familiar how companies work in regards to financial quarters. Is Nintendo scheduled to announce new games soon?

Financial Year is...March, I think, through the following year's March.PhoReal said:
So third quarter is beginning of October through December.
Not getting overly optimistic about this, but sitting on a release and issuing a denial, while still being fully aware of their own intention to formally announce it when they feel like it, does sound like a very Nintendo thing to do. They're probably not complaining about the free press the 'controversy' is generating, either.
I suspect if we are getting it it's not going to be in Quarter 3. Not unless Zelda has to be delayed to Quarter 4 (or later) for some reason, and they need to use Xenoblade and/or Last Story to make up for that wait, but that'd beg the question of why they weren't shown at E3, or at least quietly had the press material put up on their site like Glory of Heracles or, well, Xenoblade's announcement.
SpaceBridge said:
Every company is different pretty much. They pick a month to start the new Fiscal year. I also wouldn't say companies are "due" to announce anything at a given point. More so they come when they are ready to happen or they want to show their product off to the world.
Not sure when Nintendo starts their Fiscal calendar. Googling it really quick showed March, but that's not a legit source necessarily.
Also beaten.

I don't think they'd just lie about this just to get people to come back. The guys spearheading this seem genuinely just into getting the games over here, not resorting to malice-filled responses to a standard PR gig.
Well hey, maybe we can still convince them to bring Another Code R, Disaster, and Pandora's Tower here next year, if this source is telling the truth. Maybe ASH and Last Window, too.

Last year they did Wii Party and Kirby's Epic Yarn in October.
November was Pokepark and DKCR
December was Super Mario All-Stars Wii.
I see no scheduling reason why they wouldn't release it in Quarter 3.
