    XENOBLADE CHRONICLES TO REACH EUROPE

    Nintendo of Europe can confirm that it will be bringing the epic RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles to Europe for Wii. The title, already launched in Japan, brings to life a universe where two worlds called Bionis and Mechonis fight a war that knows no end.

    Join the battle for Bionis to repel the invasion of a terrifying mechanical army and uncover the secrets of a mystical sword called the Monado.

    Xenoblade Chronicles will be launching later this year for Wii featuring both English and Japanese voice-overs and will be fully subtitled in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Keep checking www.nintendo.dk for further information on this epic new adventure for Wii.

    YES! I'm gonna switch on my Wii for the first time in so long.

    The gus on warning a huge podcast have been saying that it's the best game of this generationand really annoyed that nintendo were sitting on it. Glad to see that they aren't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,897 ✭✭✭megaten


    Have any irish retailers started listing this for preorder yet? I'm guessing no since amazon don't seem to have it yet either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭iceferg


    They have it up on the GAME website
    http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Wii/Role-Playing/Xenoblade-Chronicles-/~r355233/?s=xenoblade

    Those English accents.... Please... Please make them shut up. They're awful annoying!

    I'd take them over the usual fare.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,821 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Yep think they are far far better than the usual annoying americans. Pity they aren't up to DQ8 standards but I'll take it over something like FFX.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott


    Is xenoblade turn based or is the combat like demons souls or monster hunter


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,821 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I've heard it described as having the same battle system of FFXII except with additions that make it good instead of ****.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭iceferg


    Good news, Xenoblade has been brought forward a few weeks to 19th august .

    I think Nintendo Europe are just trying to piss off American JRPG fans at this stage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden


    Anyone else definitely getting this? I've pre-ordered the special edition from GAME and I'm really looking forward to Friday :D I don't need the CCPro as I already have one but still, I'm a sucker for special editions xD

    Bah, my son broke my Wii by sticking things into its slot (that sounds so bad) but I really can't justify buying a new one to play one game.

    Wii and gamecube emulator. You'll need someone with a modded wii to rip the game though.

    no just normail edition,what do you get with the special edition?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Think the special edition comes with a red Classic Controller.

    I was going to buy the special edition, but I decided to save some money by buying the normal edition. I'm going to buy some books with the money I saved.

    Is that the big box one?I thought that was a special console or something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden

    Red classic controller, three posters and em, something to do with the box art which I'm not quite sure of. You can change it or something. I remember voting for which alt box art I wanted earlier on this year, but I don't know exactly what it does. :o That could be on all the boxes though, I'm not sure.

    Alsoooo, those who register their copy of the game before 30th September will for a limited time be able to download the game’s official soundtrack from the Treasures section of their Club Nintendo account

    any idea how much it is?


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden


    any idea how much it is?

    It's €69.99. It's really the same as buying the game and a classic controller (€45 + €25), but it's a limited edition colour and you get the posters for free. I don't need another CCpro as I already have one, but I just love the colour of this one.

    Dammit thought there were no good games for a while (hence saving valuable money!) but this is looking like a must-buy!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,755 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Got SE for 52.50 because I had 7.50 on my game card,its normally 59.99 got the last one too and all :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,709 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Ughh not a single copy of it in the three game stores in Bray. Can't say I'm surprised though.

    Prices in town? Going for standard because I got a classic controller with Monster Hunter Tri.

    did they run out of copies? its 44.99 I think


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭SK1979


    Just checked the Gamestop.ie site and its €37.97 on that.

    Any chance that Gamestop are selling it in store for €39.99?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭Naphiel


    I checked my Gamestop in Omni today and they didn't have any copies. I'll be in town tomorrow and might try find one. Anyone bought it and know the price of the CE?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭penev10


    No sign of it in Gamestop in Swords today. Probably best to get it online anyways. (36euro on Amazon)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,821 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Gamestop have been terrible lately getting in Wii and DS games. I'd look in Game since they have the exclusive on the special edition sowill be carrying it.

    59.99 in game

    Thanks. :D

    Going to go buy this tomorrow. If it's sold out I'll hold a grudge against all of you. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden


    Got it in GAME in Ilac today :D It's weird, they said it was €69.99 on the pre order receipt (AND the webste) but it was actually €59.99. Didn't get the posters though...Oh well, I'm not complaining. I saved myself a tenner :D

    I didn't get any posters either,I wonder why that was........did you ask them about the poster by any chance?


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭Jazzkamiden

    Nope, because he had already put it in the bag and stuff and I didn't open it till I got home. I thought they might have stuck it in the box even though there was no mention of it on the side of the box. They mustn't have had any, because GAME is really good with that stuff.
    I'll ask someone I regularly talk to who bought it in store today to see if he got them later on.
