Xenoblade Chronicles is getting a USA release

[Locke cole]

In one of the few times that a Gamestop exclusive is cause for rejoicing, one of them has confirmed a USA release of one of those "Operation Rainfall" games that people keep talking about.

The original article was very careful in talking about how the news didn't quite confirm its release, but they've since updated with information direct from Nintendo.

If the information below seemed to too good to be true, Nintendo has now confirmed the news: Xenoblade Chronicles is coming to North America next year.

The game's page on Nintendo's website only lists an April release date, while GameStop's website has been updated with a listing that shows it as coming out on April 2. Whatever the exact date may be, at least we now know it's coming.

We also know it'll only be available through a limited number of outlets: GameStop stores, GameStop.com, and Nintendo.com.

So, we're getting the game. The only problem is that it's exclusive to Gamestop, or buying off of Nintendo's site. A bit annoying, but at least we're getting the game.
