MonolithSoft's epic role-playing game is sure to be a visual marvel.

During today's Nintendo Direct, a new trailer for MonolithSoft's upcoming Wii U exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles X was revealed, showcasing the game's vast open world.

Give it a look below.

We still don't have a release date in the West for the Xenoblade Chronicles sequel, but Nintendo has assured us it will be out by the end of the year. It is set to arrive in Japan on April 29.

Sorry to tell you Wii U IV Life, but normally chicks don't dig guys like us who only fly in Mechs in video games.


However, this game has me incredibly excited.


My remaining question:
Now that they are allowing Wii games to be downloaded on Wii U, will they allow Xenoblade to be downloaded in an attempt to get as much exposure as possible before the Release of Xenoblade X or will they decide not to in an attempt to sell more copies on the new 3DS in April?


The last Wii game they ported to 3DS (DKCR) was priced at $35. So assuming the same price structure:
sell Xenoblade to only owners of New 3DS (there won't be very many) for $35-cost of cartridge-GameStops's cut so I don't know maybe $20 each
or sell to New 3DS owners AND Wii U owners (as weird as this will sound there are more Wii U owners so it could be a big boon) at $20 each


I'm hoping they go for the both option as I'm still actively playing the game (yes I discovered it late and paid $80 for my copy) I'm about 55 hours in and if I can download it onto my Wii U that would mean I could continue with my current save file and sell the disc (I'm sure there will be people that don't own a Wii U or New 3DS that will want to try the game still)

Actually, Leo13, it was just a joke.  Basically a take on the theme music of Megas XLR.  Remember that cartoon?

Oh sorry man not only do I not remember that cartoon, I've never heard of it. How old is it? If it's an 80's thing then I was probably too young (born in'85)

Between this and Zelda it's a good year for walking simulators.

Its a good thing that XCX has transforming mechs, eh?

I wonder if the fact Gamestop published the first game is why we are getting a N3DS remake. Nintendo couldn't resell the Wii title in the eShop or otherwise because they would have to give GS a cut of the profits so they decided to do a remake instead to get out of that deal.

They sold it themselves on their online store, though. And Nintendo is generally way too good at legal dealings to have signed something with GameStop that was that far-reaching. They're selling it on New 3DS and not the Wii U because they can charge twice as much on the New 3DS. It'll come to Wii U, but later.
