Could Operation Rainfall Revive the west's dormant love for the JRPG?
Today Xenoblade Chronicles is available for purchase in the US thanks, in part, to Operation Rainfall. To mark the occasion, a few members of the PixlBit staff began a dialogue concerning the future of the movement and if it’s at all possible that Operation Rainfall could revive the west’s love for the Japanese RPG.
Nintendo will show the same tech demos on display at last year's E3.
In a statement made to Joystiq, Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Wii U will indeed be made available to demo at the 2012 CES conference.
Nintendo outlines their 2012 Q1 release schedule.
Nintendo didn’t have the most even release schedule in 2011. A year that could be characterized as lacking in terms of software releases was capped off by a small barrage of marquee releases in the form of Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Was there any real doubt that Xenoblade was coming stateside?
Last Friday, Nintendo of America announced that the Nintendo faithful and loyal supports of Operation Rainfall would be granted one of their longstanding wishes with the stateside release of heralded RPG Xenoblade Chronicles this upcoming April. The news came at a precarious time for Nintendo. With Skyward Sword having been released this past month, Nintendo’s upcoming release schedule was looking just a little more than barren.
Operation Rainfall can now be considered 1/3 complete!
In a recent interview President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Amie said that he believed that “there certainly will be more games launched for the Wii.” Adding, “We believe there are still millions more systems to be sold.” While most gamers and journalist blew this comment off as pandering PR speak it seems that there was some truth to those words as we can now confirm that Nintendo will be bringing the long awaited Xenoblade Chronicles to North America this upcoming April.
Taking the post once held by Reggie File-Aime and Cammie Dunaway, Scott Moffitt is being brought on "to drive continued growth for Nintendo hardware and software brands."
Nintendo of America announced today that Scott Moffitt will assume the role of Executive VP of Sales & Marketing, effective immediately. In this role, he will be reporting directly to Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aime, who also once held the same position.
