The first Xenoblade Chronicles is now available for Wii U on the Nintendo eShop

Xenoblade Chronicles is not a cheap game, nor an easy one to find. When it first came to the states, it was a GameStop exclusive, and as such it quickly became a rare game to get ahold of. At least that was the case until it was released for the New Nintendo 3DS. Now Wii U owners can grab a digital copy of the game via the Nintendo eShop for just $19.99, a far cry from what you can expect to pay for a physical copy of the original Wii version on Amazon.

It's not a stretch to say that Xenoblade Chronicles is one of, if not the best JRPG's to release in the last 10 years. Much of that is due to the fact that the genre has stagnated greatly over the last console generation, but Xenoblade is a top flight JRPG regardless.

If you missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles the first time, don't miss out here. The game was rated as one of GameZone's best Wii games of 2012 and we absolutely loved it for the New 3DS as well.
