Xenoblade Chronicles Is Finally Announced For U.S. Release

Update 2: In the official press release, only Gamestop and Nintendo’s website will be carrying the title for $49.99. I guess it’s time to cancel my Monado pre-order.

Update: Nintendo has posted on their Facebook page that Xenoblade Chronicles is indeed confirmed for next year. It hasn’t divulged any details beyond that, so the date on the now much more plausible picture of the Gamestop Listing has not been confirmed nor the possible Gamestop exclusive distribution nature of the game. Although, a Nintendo product page for the title has April 2012 as its release date adding even more legitimacy to that picture. We will keep you up to date on any new information on this matter.

Food comas are the best aren’t they? You stuff your bellies full of whatever is on the table. Before you know it, you’re sitting with your head half cocked to the left with drool slowly running down the side of your lips unaware of your surrounding. Your relatives could draw you a nice little mustache, and you just wouldn’t care. Where were we? Oh right games.

After the last month’s flood of games, the release gods have found mercy on my soul and reduced this week’s releases down to ankle high flooding games. Either that or Thanksgiving is almost upon us, which apparently is like the video game release equivalent of hibernation. Given the food comas induced by Thanksgiving in general, a week or so off of video games could be a good thing.

It’s almost over. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I won’t have to drown myself in these avalanches of releases anymore! At least not until next year anyways. My only condolence lies in the fact that one of my favorite franchises’ returns triumphantly this week, and that’s enough to distract me from another franchise that I’m not all that hyped up about.

The hapless townsfolk have all hidden inside their homes, and the scared shopkeepers all flips their signs from open to close as the three gunmen approaches each other in front of the clock tower at high noon. That’s right. November is upon us once again. This week, we’re getting Call of Duty’s 2011 edition of Call of Duty. We’re also getting the sequel to Oblivion, and Nintendo releases a fairly unorthodox take on their mascot. In other words, we’re getting nothing but sequels this week. Unless you’re willing to look beyond the triple-A releases.

Happy Halloween everybody! And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a romp through the desert? Better yet, how about a blast from the past? Hell, make it two if you want to count one with an HD facelift. It might just make you forget the fact that you just contracted diabetes after Monday’s candy fest.

Sorry about this week folks. Even the most hardy Coming Soon! authors can succumb to sickness. This week’s release list will be a little bit… sparse.

How does one compete with the ultimate superhero video game ever? Well, the general consensus looks to be to drown the damn thing with so many titles coming from almost every genre under the sun, it’ll make your head spin. Thankfully, I have a neck brace handy.

I’m beginning to notice a really weird trend. Every other week, game of the year contenders gets released while the weeks in between get either almost nothing of any worth or fairly niche titles. Looks like this week falls sort of in the latter.
