After the unpopular move to exclude North America in the release of the highly anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii, fans of the Japanese RPG genre got together and started a campaign to bring Xenoblade to American shores. It is not yet known if the campaign, entitled Project Rainfall, is instrumental in bringing about the change of heart at Nintendo, but we will be seeing the game surface on store shelves in April of 2012.
Proponents of Project Rainfall are also making their voices heard over two other RPGs entitled The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower. These two games have no North American release dates as of yet, but the fan campaign is still ongoing. I hope to hear more good news from Japan soon.
Please bring more good RPGs to my dusty old Wii, Nintendo!
