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.

GameStop are offering an exclusive art book along with pre-orders for Xenoblade Chronicles.

Nintendo of America announced an official release date for Xenoblade Chronicles today.

Pick from one of four pieces of art to be included on the reverse side of Xenoblade Chronicles’ cover.
