Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles, known in Japan as Xenoblade (ゼノブレイド Zenobureido?), is a role-playing video game published by Nintendo[2] and developed by Monolith Soft[3] for the Wii console. The game was announced during E3 2009, when a trailer was released to media. The trailer shows a futuristic sword-wielding character battling giant robots and creatures as well as third-person exploration gameplay.[4][5] In January 2010, the game was renamed from Monado: Beginning of the World to Xenoblade to honor Tetsuya Takahashi, "who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the Xeno series".[6] The game was released on June 10, 2010 in Japan,[7] and is set to be released on August 19, 2011 in Europe.[8]. There are currently no plans for a North American release.
