Don't quote me on this, but I have a hunch the Amiga console never really made it out of Europe.

I wonder how the Operation Rainfall games did. While Xenoblade was hyped to hell and back, it seemed like people stoped talking about The Last Story right around that one's release, and no one cared for Pandora's Tower when it was turn for it. Both in Europe and the US. Just seemed so odd that the three games were so much talked about pre-release, yet the two non-Xenos seem to have been fallen by the wayside once they actually came out. But that's just my insulated viewpoint. It does seem like Xenoblade is the only one to have any kind of lasting popularity. If I remember correctly, The Last Story was reprinted; not sure if that was the case with Pandora's Tower but probably not (it didn't seem like it was selling amazingly even at release, considering it was such a late Wii release and all). Both of the non-Xenos are still readily available at normal prices. Seems like a lot of Mistwalker games are in the same boat where they're hyped up for having people like Sakaguchi, Uematsu, Toriyama, etc. behind them, but once people play them they're just like "eh, it's good, but it's no Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest/Chrono Trigger (AKA the games these people worked on in the past)". The Last Story is right up there with Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey as games that aren't necessarily remembered with negativity but aren't especially cared about anymore either.

If the Amiga CD32 did come out in America, it would've probably been the last thing Commodore released before dying.

Psygnosis were based in the UK. Does not get more European than them (well, not continental). But yeah it seems they tried at least, maybe? Anyway, it was an awful machine, and unfit to survive even in Commodore's biggest market, Germany. The Nick Arcade deal looks more like a marketing coup than a real launch of the system...
