Nintendo confirmed this morning during their Nintendo Direct event that Xenoblade Chronicles for the New 3DS will be seeing an American release alongside the Japanese release.
The game will be a port of the original Wii release. Xenoblade Chronicles is a science fiction RPG that stars Shulk and his friends as they fight the mechanical Mechons and try to solve the mysteries behind the Monado blade.
This version of Xenoblade Chronicles is exclusive to the New 3DS version because of the updated hardware. It will introduce a new 3D model viewer mode and will utilize the dual screen capabilities of the system, displaying maps, statuses, and other information on the lower screen.
The expected release is April 2 of this year.
