Update 2: Pre-orders are live on Amazon!

Update: Added in a better image. Official announcement is after the break. The package will cost $89.99.

During a panel at PAX Prime 2015, Nintendo revealed the North American special edition for Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Consumers will receive a few items with their purchase. Nintendo is including a copy of the game, an art book (over 100 pages), a digital copy of the soundtrack on a custom USB drive (10 songs), and matted art card.

Nintendo apparently said at the panel that pre-orders will be going live at some point today. When they do, we’ll be sure to let you know.
