Just announced during the Xenoblade Totally-Not-Nintendo-Direct.

It'll cost 35 000 Yens, apparently. Sadly, they didn't show any pics during the stream.

They also confirmed you'll be able to pre-purchase the downloadable version of the game. Starting 11PM JST today!

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Cool, hope it has a custom cover.

 

[Escalario]

Very nice that they confirmed preloading.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Please it will be just a plain Wii U

Spoiler

so that I won't import it

lol

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

I wonder how many gigs that game is gonna be lol

 

[zeromcd73]

Surprised they didn't show the bundle on the stream. Was really looking forward to seeing XenoX's cover.

Bundle should help move some units in Japan. Wii U might even sell 8k that week >.>

They already said they are very close to the disc capacity (25GB) and at some point they were going for 2 discs.

There's a kind of NPC relationship, isn't it?

Really happy they went with that for the boxart; looks very nice. Hopefully we'll get that stuff over here as a CE/LE.

 

[Mpl90]

They opened the site for Xenoblade 3DS as well

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/cafj/index.html

Shulk amiibo is mentioned. Anyone, translate what's said there NOW

EDIT: ...With a bit better look, I think it's just mentioned, no specific use confirmed. Still, anyone who wants to translate?

Pre-download starts in 23mn! In Japan, obviously.

Ouch, hope that artbook and map isn't exclusive to the hardware bundle .
I'll be in Japan from March-August... I really have to resist getting this set while I'm there.

 

[Vaddon]

The boxart is great, love the darker banner that they occasionally use too. Really suits the artwork.

If NoE dare change that box art, so help me god....

 

[blitzwolf215]

That box art is amazing. Pls let us get that boxart NOA, or at least something equivalently awesome.

 

[btkadams]

Wait, preloading starts that soon? When is this game releasing in Japan and the west?

 

[Mpl90]

Pre-download starts in 23mn! In Japan, obviously.

That's...way sooner than what I thought O__O Good, though.

 

[pinkurocket]

The Japanese boxart having that 'mature' black gradients on the Wii U logo makes it look so good.

 

[Spikain]

Jesus, that box art, it's so cool I'm crying

Spoiler

because it's surely going to be different in Europe

 

[Kouriozan]

Pre-loading today?!
That's torture for the West waiting for a release date.

 

[NeededSleep]

this is what I was waiting for in purchasing a wiiu....

someone please tell me the west will see it...please!

 

[Not75Drops]

If NoE dare change that box art, so help me god....

NoE are usually ok for retaining the original boxarts, no?

 

[cacildo]

Bundle...
Funny how nintendo is really betting on Xenoblade

 

[random25]

Pre-download starts in 23mn! In Japan, obviously.

Wow that's early. They're really pushing this game hard!

 

[Dr. Buni]

Lovely box art, couldn't have been better. I have been using that picture as my wallpaper for ages.

 

[Shaanyboi]

That game case... that fucking game case

 

[protomouse]

Dat boxart... hnngh.

 

[Aostia]

NoE please: keep that boxart and give us the artbook!

 

[nobodyshero]

Preloading starts today'? When does the game release?

 

[Kucan]

NoE are usually ok for retaining the original boxarts, no?

For the most part, but the USK like to stick their oar in when they can.

 

[Jackano]

What ? Pre-download 2 months and a half before release? Do I miss something?

 

[Crimson_Justice]

I'm not good at Japanese by any means, but it does say that the map, art book, and prepaid card are only in that bundle. But, we should wait for more clarification from someone else.

 

[Diddy Kong]

love the boxart

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I need to know the size of this game.

 

[Forkball]

Awesome boxart. Can't wait for NA to ruin it.

It also comes with a $10 prepaid card. That's a free Earthbound right there!

 

[zeromcd73]

I need to know the size of this game.

They said it several times during the live stream.

Spoiler

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

 

[random25]

Love that boxart as well. NOA, please don't mess this up!

 

[Mockingbird]

Love how they darkened the blue on the Wii U label for this!

 

[Not75Drops]

For the most part, but the USK like to stick their oar in when they can.

Isn't the USK logo just limited to collector/special edition containers and German copies?

 

[protomouse]

I need to know the size of this game.
