At least, they were smart enough to announce this before the European release.

Guess can hold off until the summer

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Yeah, I'm worried that Xenoblade won't sell well because anyone in America who wants to play it already has.

I'll be buying it anyway, but I can't imagine the majority will.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Going to start playing my import this weekend. Really looking forward to it.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Last Story looks fantastic running on Dolphin. But just like Xenoblade, it's pretty unstable and is going to need a lot of config tweaking to run smoothly. Wicked combat system.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Honestly, I will pick up both me thinks. I had some issues while playing several parts of Xeno on dolphin. So would like to replay someday.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

This game becomes a damn mess in Dolphin once reaching the main town. Framerate is just destroyed, and it's a damn shame because it looks fantastic on dolphin. My import was cancelled because of stock shortages, so I think I'll be waiting for the NA release. By then maybe a good Dolphin build will be made, as well.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

I was under the impression... that the frame rate drops.. were actually from the game itself...

Seems to be pushing the little Wii to its limits

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

That's part of the problem, but it isn't emulated too well on the dolphin either, however there was a specific version release of dolphin for xenoblade that sort of takes care of most problems. The biggest issue with it all was the sound for me. In areas where the frame rate would drop the sound would bomb too.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

In order to get Xenoblade working I had to download a custom build that had a sound patch built into it, and then download a separate "30fps patch" that let it run at 30 fps.

My machine is a beast and can run it no problem, you just have to get the patches in order for it to work.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Yea Dolphin is very technical and very specific, you gotta hound the official forums and read up on what the dudes who program it are using for specs in each game. Last Story becomes unplayable for me, even with my beast of a PC. The fact that it isn't very stable on the Wii means it's doubly unstable on Dolphin. I really wish these games could just get a PC release somehow... they don't require motion controls at all. There's no reason why my top of the line PC that can run Skyrim flawlessly at 60fps with max settings can't handle a Wii game. And the difference in visual quality between the Dolphin version running at 1080p and the Wii game running at 480p is staggering. Oh well...

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Wii U eShop HD release please?

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

I really didn't expect this one to make it over and assumed most people gave up their fight for it.

Re: Operation Rainfall
 

Yeah, The Last Story must have been successful for XSEED.
