Xenoblade release date announced for Europe, first look at Classic Controller, pre-order bonus
Gamers in Europe have known for a few months now that they’d be able to play Xenoblade sometime this year. While North American fans wonder if they’ll ever have a chance to purchase the game, today NoE has revealed not only the title’s release date, but also a special Classic Controller to accompany the RPG’s release.
First, Xenoblade Chronicles launches in Europe, South Africa, Russia, New Zealand, and Australia on September 2. There were a few speculated dates including one rumor that pinned the game for an August release, though that was incorrect. European Wii owners can get their hands on the title in just a couple of months.
Nintendo of Europe has also shown the Classic Controller for the first time. Yes, it’s red!
Finally, those who pre-order Xenoblade can receive one of three posters that includes an electronic autograph of Tetsuya Takahashi (executive director and scenario writer). It sounds like this offer might be restricted to certain countries. We’ll update you with any pre-order bonus information we come across down the road.
