I don't know if you have all heard of this already, but Nintendo fans are campaigning to get Xenoblade released in America.

I have no interest in these games, but I'm watching this story develop with delightful amusement.  Mr Iwata-san has no clue that half of the Wiis sold in the west have become paperweights.  Nintendo of America is cutting him off at the knees by contradicting his E3 message --I wonder if news of this movement has even reached his ears...

There's a reason that I only have a grand total of 5 Wii games.  :-X

Seriously, I've gotten more use out of the Wii by playing Virtual Console games and hacking it than I ever did buying Wii games for it. I only using my Wii as a classic gaming device, really.

I would love to see The Last Story come over here. It's really the only one of the 3 games of Operation Rainfall that I want. Plus, it would be the first Wii game would get in 2 or 3 years.

I used to be most excited about The Last Story, but from what I hear Xenoblade is supposed to be significantly better than The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. I can't wait to play all 3 of them, but I will definitely be playing Xenoblade first.

I haven't turned on my Wii since I played Muramasa.

Well one thing that I found notable about Xenoblade was that despite being broken up into around 15-20 areas, each area of the game is like a large sandbox. Within each sandbox is one or 2 towns in each along with expansive fields and mountains that are riddled with enemies and other wildife and also caves and dungeons with lots of treasure to find. Whats more is that if you go into a town, field, or dungeon there is NO loading times whatsoever. This is definitely pushing the Wii to extents not seen before in any jrpg released on the system.
Edit: Also cool is that townsfolk and wildlife go by a daily routine rather than just stand in the same spot. Makes the world very believable.
