NewNews - North America's gonna get Xenoblade Chronicles

Official Site: Xenoblade Chronicles on Nintendo Wii

Many RPG fans, including myself, were excited hearing about and watching trailers to Xenoblade Chronicles.  Not only that, it was one of the more major reasons to getting back onto the Nintendo Wii which seemingly has a smaller library of major titles this year other than a few made by Nintendo themselves.  When Nintendo of America announced that they wouldn't be bringing the title over to North America back in June this year, it was a sad day for a lot of Wii owners and RPG fans.  It was a huge surprise this morning seeing the headlines of gaming news everywhere rejoicing in the localization of Xenoblade Chronicles to North America with an expected launch date of April 2012.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a single-player Action-RPG utilizing a real-time battle system for a more fast-paced and modern RPG experience in contrast to its predecessors.  It's also more open-world with games like Monster Hunter Tri (this one was really good I heard) or Valhalla Knights: The Eldar Saga (which is pretty bad, I'm playing that right now).  So players can freely wander the world and fulfill quests to gain experience and currency.  The story won't be as vague as the two I mentioned just now as the Xeno series has always had a deep plot that entices the player's attention to the environment, dialogues, and characters.  I'm really happy to hear that it will be brought over to North America.  I just hope The Last Story and Pandora's Tower follows suit and gets brought over, because I really want some good games on my Wii to play.
