Nintendo Direct 2015: New 3DS Xenoblade Chronicles Release Date Revealed

by GH Staff

During Nintendo’s newest Nintendo Direct broadcast, the company has confirmed the release date for the New 3DS port of Xenoblade Chronicles.

Xenoblade Chronicles for New 3DS will be released in North America this upcoming April.

The title is the first and only game so far to be announced as fully exclusive for New 3DS, and cannot be played on any other 3DS model. The game will feature all of the content from the original Wii version, as well as other new features including stereoscopic 3D and the availability of the map on the New 3DS’ bottom screen.

Originally released on Wii in North America back in 2012, Xenoblade Chronicles is an action-RPG title that features large environments for exploration. A successor game titled Xenoblade Chronicles X is being developed exclusively for Wii U, and will be released at some point in 2015 for North American gamers.

As mentioned above, Xenoblade Chronicles will be heading to Nintendo’s New 3DS XL at some point this April.
