Nintendo has "no plans" to cave in to fans' demands for a trio of Japanese Wii games, it said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm," read the terse post. "We promised an update, so here it is. We never say 'never,' but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!"

Characteristically, Nintendo did not say why it is declining to release the games in the U.S.

The three games in question, Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, are the subject of Operation Rainfall, an awareness campaign launched by the company's fans in an effort to convince Nintendo to bring the games over.

Nintendo will release Xenoblade in Europe later this year.
