Xenoblade Chronicles Arrives On Wii U This Week
So, you missed out on a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii and you don’t want to buy a New 3DS to play that version. You are no longer doomed to a life of not “really feeling it,” provided you have a Wii U.
In fact, if you have $19.99 and a Wii U you can play the game starting tomorrow, April 28. You don’t need the Wii Remote and Nunchuck either.
The Wii U version will also support the GamePad and Classic Controller Pro. For more on Xenoblade Chronicles, check out our review of the 3D re-release to learn more about this enormous, MMO-styled RPG.

Our Take
The markup on used copies of this game has been a barrier for many. With the digital release, those who aren’t in it for collecting and just want to play have an affordable and convenient path to that now.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
