Nintendo posted pictures from the game on it's facebook page.
and you can preorder it at gamestop now. Right now it seems like it's a Gamestop exclusive, but hopefully it will be published in other venues.
So, let's have some music to celebrate!
Why is this game a big deal?
It is - apparently, I haven't played it- a VERY good JRPG. The metacritic scores are absurdly high, which is impossible in this day and age for a JRPG (my favorite Genre actually) Nintendo of America announced it several years ago, then didn't say a word. It came out in Japan to brilliant praise, then nothing.
A group called Operation Rainfall started a petition to get it and 2 other respected JRPG's over (Pandora's Tower and The Last Story) and nothing...
except an announcement that all three would be localized for Europe. This confused many gamers in both Europe and NA. It is reasonably priced to turn a PAL release to a NA release, it's already in English, all you need to do is switch regions. (apparently the UK dub is very good so that's not an issue. Might run into some slight localization problems though. I don't know though)
But with this new release, it shows that the wii is NOT dead, good JRPGs CAN be made, and Nintendo has FINALLY listened to it's fans.
Who else is preordering?
edit: OFFICIAL TRAILER!
edit 2: Official website and you can pre order either at Gamestop or from Nintendo.com Personally, I'd go with Nintendo. That way we may get Last Story and Pandora's Tower over here. THANK YOU OPERATION RAINFALL!
