In shops and on Nintendo eShop now: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

Steel yourself, for a momentous adventure begins in Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, out now exclusively for New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL. A legendary story, vast lands, and fierce battles all await in this handheld RPG of immense proportions!

As hero Shulk, you set forth on a mission of revenge to destroy the Mechon. Accompanied by supporting characters Dunban, Reyn and Sharla, among others, you’ll experience extensive exploration, and battle against mechanical enemies, using strategy and special powers with a variety of characters.

You will be drawn into battles with roaming enemies, each visible in the field. Combat combines action game-style attacks and turn-based tactics: pick your moment during battle to perform special actions known as 'Arts', which, once used, must cool down.

There's a handsome Shulk amiibo to aid your collection quest, a set of slick, minimal cover plates for New Nintendo 3DS*, and a gorgeous HOME Menu theme available to anyone who purchases the game from Nintendo eShop before 9th April 2015.
