The only reason it isn't my favorite RPG of all-time is because I was lucky enough to grow up with the FF3, CT, SoM games.

But it is completely awesome.

I got it for 49.99 at Gamestop when I got my Wii U.

They don't have it available online as far as I can tell, so you just have to check with your local store.

All the stores in my area had multiple copies. They have some sort of agreement to publish the game as far as I know.

You can usually find it used on Amazon.

Go to Gamestop.

I got mine there and told the guy that I was surprised they had one because I heard they were pretty hard to find. He said that Gamestop got the publisher to reprint the game just for them and that they've got a ton that have never been played before.

I have a feeling that Nintendo are going to release this on the Wii U in early 2015. I don't know why.

No information or anything, but it just seems logical.

Hopefully they will do like they are doing with Bayonetta.

if you have a capable PC, I strongly suggest playing xenoblade through dolphin

It looks so much better

found it at my local gamestop today. they had 4 copies and were all used. employee I talked to said they came used but were basically new and that xenoblade was a gamestop exclusive, reason why they were hard to find anywhere else

may go ahead and get it or more likely I'll wait till xenoblade X comes out and hope they add it in like they did with bayonetta

If you found it now, I wouldn't wait. I'd get it.

First, it's got a ton of content, I spent 120 hours on it. Second, if it comes packaged like Bayonetta, I'm assuming the price won't change like Bayonetta, so X will still be a $60 game.

I wouldn't play both at the same time. Xenoblade is an immense game with a new game+ mode too.

download dophin emulator

download an xenoblade iso

you can use the wii controller through bluetooth if you have one which i would strongly recommend

the game controls are set up for a wiimote so using your keyboard or other controller would be miserable

It has native wii pro controller support which is how I played it. Worked fine for me.

Did homebrew and ripped xeno which I bought this weekend. Followed instructions and when I try to load it up on dolphin just get some text on top and a white screen. My CPU should be plenty good enough. Any ideas?
