localization of Xenoblade is complete, The Last Story is currently being
translated to English for an American release, but there is no word on
Pandora’s Tower localization. This information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall today from a source within Nintendo who wishes to remain anonymous. There is currently no indication of when Nintendo of America plans to formally announce these titles.

Last week
Nintendo of America told its followers on Facebook and Twitter that it
had no plans to bring Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s tower to
America “at this time.” Nintendo intentionally left open the possibility of release. Allegedly, the Redmond, WA branch has been working with other branches to bring Xenoblade and The Last Story to North America.


The NSTC version of Xenoblade was completed just over a month ago. Testing for the PAL and NSTC versions of The Last Story are allegedly beginning in around a month. There is currently no word on localization for an NSTC version of Pandora’s Tower.


Remember, this information was disclosed to Operation Rainfall in confidence. Until Nintendo of America makes an announcement there will be no official word of an NTSC release. However, this news has increased our hope for a North American release of these games. It
could also explain why retailers like Amazon continue to have Xenoblade
(Monado: Beginning of the World) listed on their website.


Make of
this information what you will, but after much internal discussion
Operation Rainfall believed it would be best to share this information
with our followers. Consider this our announcement of a forthcoming announcement.
