Xenoblade 2’s Collector’s Edition artbook was prefaced by an introduction by game director Tetsuya Takahashi, talking about the meaning of character designs, and some of the differences in the process between the first and second game.

Xenoblade Chronicles released in the North American Wii U eShop, and to celebrate the occasion, Nintendo released a trailer to showcase the origins of Shulk and the power of the Monado.

People will be able to pick up a digital copy of Xenoblade Chronicles via the Nintendo Wii U Virtual Console on April 28, 2016.

Nintendo is re-releasing Xenoblade Chronicles as a New Nintendo 3DS game. In Japan, first print copies of the Wii game included a special soundtrack with twelve songs on disc.

Take a (slightly) closer look at the game.

Nintendo will bring the portable version of Xenoblade Chronicles to the West. Nintendo of Australia announced Xenoblade Chronicles for New Nintendo 3DS will come out sometime in 2015.

Nintendo’s upgraded 3DS has a better processor, uses head tracking to keep players in the 3D sweet spot, and a built in NFC reader so you can use Amiibo figures.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that a remake of Xenoblade Chronicles is currently in the works and will be released for the New Nintendo 3DS models.

It looks like Monolith Soft’s open-world RPG for the Wii U, X, is part of a series that began with the studio’s last game—Xenoblade Chronicles.

You may recall that GameStop previously bought these two out-of-print titles back for a high price. Well, it looks like they’re going to be discounting them pretty soon.

At $65, you now have a little bit less reasons to buy from those high-priced eBay sellers.

“The reason I created a huge environment to explore was because I believed that type of design was necessary to express the world of this game,” says executive director Tetsuya Takahashi.

Regardless of whether or not you’ve been following the game, hopefully these tidbits will give you some insight as to why Xenoblade Chronicles never gets boring.

Xenoblade Chronicles comes out in North America next week and if you reserve the game at GameStop you’ll get an art book as a bonus.

Nintendo sent over a bundle of character artwork for Xenoblade Chronicles. Monolith Soft’s game centers around a red sword called Monado, a powerful blade Shulk discovers.
