Nintendo Fans Unite for Operation Rainfall

The group, calling themselves Operation Rainfall, is attempting to have Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower translated to English in order to make them available for sale in North America. I’ve included a collection of videos for these titles below so you can decide for yourself if you think this is a noble cause or a waste of time.

It is a noble cause... A dorky one... but still.

NewMonday4719d ago

fans should do this more often, we should also demand quick localization, i don't know why we have to wait for an year or more for Japanese games.

their are still some games out in the wilderness, like the samurai era Yakuza spinoff and vicious

Xenoblade got incredible reviews, so far its the best reviewed Xeno game since Xenogears, at least its in English now.

Why can't they just translate the text and be done with it! Most jrpg fans prefer Japanese, anyway!

Jezuz4719d ago

Translating every work in the game is not an easy task.

Theyellowflash304719d ago

But its still something that should be done. Nintendo waiting this long to release a game of this quality is crazy. The Last Story is even better according to people who have played both.

Jezuz4719d ago

Yeah, I agree with that but it's still no easy task. But fans could make a custom patch and translator can't they ? At least that's what happened to PSP's Monster Hunter 3.

NewMonday4719d ago

it is not that hard when a bunch of fans can translate themselves.

and PC RPGs have many European languages despite having lots of text and menus

Infernostew4719d ago

It's already translated into English text and has UK voice actors. All NoA really has to do is print copies and ship them to retailers.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop784d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212783d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
