Not totally convinced Last Story is not coming to America, and I'm not interested in Pandora's Tower.
If NA doesn't get Last Story I'll probably import eventually. Not as interested in that as Xenoblade though.

IIRC that game bombed in Japan and didn't review too great, although I might be mistaken. It's no wonder nobody would want to pick it up if that's the case (it's also not a Nintendo game like the others mentioned).And poor Earth Seeker still gets left out in the cold

The consensus amongst people who played it here was that it was relatively engaging initially, but more action-oriented and not as deep as people had hoped. Quite a few people got pretty far in the game here but very few reported finishing it. So I would say it was considered good, but not quite as excellent as Xenoblade.

Strange how the Wii is now becoming THE jrpg console on it's death bed. Certainly happy about it!

Meanwhile the Wii continues to rot in North America.

No interest in PT, but *sigh* looks like I'm importing TLS as well.

Do it right now. It will take you literally less than ten minutes, and you don't need any games or anything to do it. All you need is a Wii-compatible SD card.
How to Homebrew your Wii
Boot up your Wii. Fully update it, make sure you have the latest system update. Done?
Once that is done, click settings, go to the second page. Click Internet, click Console Information. Write down the 12 letter/number digits you see (your Wii's MAC address).
Go here in your PC's web browser:
http://please.hackmii.com/
- 4.3U
- Type the digits in
- Leave "bundle Hackmii Installer" checked
- Click either "Cut the Red Wire" or "Cut the Blue Wire".
Download the zip file you get. Copy the contents of the zip file to your SD card (private folder, boot.elf). Stick the SD card in your Wii. Check your Wii's messages (bottom right). If there's no message today, check yesterday or the day before. Click on the Letterbomb message (red envelope, bomb).
Install the Homebrew channel by following the prompts, don't worry about anything else.
It's been less than 5 minutes and you have a Homebrewed Wii.
How to play region-free games on a Homebrewed Wii
Download this:
http://geckodownloads.googlecode.com/files/gecko1931.zip
Unzip onto the SD card (in the apps/Gecko1931 folder, obviously).
Launch Homebrew Channel, launch Gecko OS, from here you can now launch games outside your region. If you're on an SDTV/composite/480i and playing a European game you might need to fiddle with different video mode patches (Force NTSC, VIDTV) for certain games but these are easy to try.

I'll settle for 2 out of 3.Shiggy said:

First off I liked the game. However there was something that happened before Last Story and that was Xenoblade. I always thought of XB as a game to entertain me a little before TLS comes out, well it turned out in a rather different way. When I played TLS I was constantly comparing it to XB and in therefor it was probably not as awesome as it might have been to me if I hadnt played Xenoblade.
However, TLS also was a lot of fun to me. Lots of interesting concept (Fighting System + Online Multiplayer). I liked the world even though the color palett was a little meh (for me). In the end it probably comes down to taste. But you should check it out for sure.

The game bombed hard and its nothing more than mediocre, however there will probably be a translation patch (well the project for the patch has started already), so that problem is solved.

It is possible to remove virtually every trace of homebrew if you choose to, although it's not even possible to be totally 100% forensically clean.
I'm not sure why you think the Smash exploit is "not permanent", but the two are equally as permanent in the sense that they are persistent until removed.

Two more titles I'll be importing, then. *sigh*

I think udivision is using Smash Stack to run Gecko OS rather the homebrew channel installer. I guess the same can be done with letterbomb and its less effort than booting a game each time but could still be a pain in months to come (as the letterbomb message will get further and further away).Stumpokapow said:
Oh, fuck yes. Yes!
I like having games to play on my Wii, especially games other faraway countries say are good. Playing games is fun and instils a sense of customer satisfaction in the product I have purchased. With money. I'm glad Nintendo of Europe still understand this concept in some respect.

As I asked in the other thread on this topic, does anyone know when NoA will release its 2012 schedule? Or how releasing no games whatsoever during that time period could possibly be a better strategy than putting out games that a different branch is already putting the requisite time, money and effort into localizing?
Can people here recommend the best/cheapest place to import these games?
So if my Wii is currently modded via the old SSBB method, should I re-do it all over with this method or is there no difference?
Basically, is this like PSP modding, where it's a new version of the mod with new benefits or simply just another, easier method for getting homebrew on the Wii in the first place?

Any impressions of these two games from importers? Bigger deals than Xenoblade?
A mini artbook is also included in that package. And I feel your pain with store exclusives, same situation with Norwegian stores.Alrus said:If it's in store exclusive again I can kiss that soundtrack goodbye

It's just that easy? No chance of bricking/screwing things up and losing VC downloads, game saves in memory, etc?
I'm paranoid about screwing around with it because in the event of an accident, due to the lack of an account system (thanks Nintendo), I'd lose access to all my VC games (only about 15 total, but damn, that's a lot of money).
Anyway, this is wonderful news. This essentially means all three games everyone's been going crazy about are going to be available in English, si?
I remember Clipper saying that the only real chance of getting a brick is downloading illegal roms or turning the system off manually while doing the stuff, (meaning that a power break wouldn't harm it?)Magnus said:
So yeah the stuff is available in english for anybody that wants to import really.
