Well the Nintendo online shop ran out of Xenoblade games and now they're selling for 200+ on Amazon. I would just like to ask for a favor to email Nintendo asking if they're planning a reprint of the game. Just seems ridiculous to have such a high profile game be in such limited supply. Thanks guys.

Done and sent. I was pretty disappointed myself when it was brought up on Neogaf. I wanted to play it over Spring Break next month. =\

^No working Wii anymore - just the dumb region-locked Wii U. The Wii was as well, but at least it could easily broken into.

It's unfortunate, but this isn't something new. It's not just by chance that most of the games selling for big bucks online are generally low printed games, and usually RPG's

Yeah But I think it could happen. There's a sequel coming and I think Nintendo would want as many people hyped for it before it's released.

I can't find any copies in Australia, there are some on Ebay. I wish they lowered the price a little.

Try eBay, and don't buy new and save yourself $120.

I know my copy cost $80 in just about mint condition used.

Yeah you would think so. Usually doesn't work out that way man :( . Who knows though, maybe with the advent of X announced (weather its a direct sequel or not), maybe...just maybe an HD version would be released on the Wii U of Xeno? o.O

Wow. I'm so glad I picked this up when I did. I just hope I can get The Last Story before the same happens to it.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us directly. I can certainly understand your wanting to have a copy of this great game. However, since Xenoblade Chronicles received a limited release and was only for sale through Nintendo's Online Store, EB Games (in Canada), and Gamestop (in the U.S.) it may be difficult to find a new copy at a local or online retailer. We do not currently have any plans to make this game available through our website again. However, you can still pursue other sources to find a copy.

It is often possible to find copies of video games through the second hand market. I would recommend checking any local used video games stores in your area to see if they have this game currently available.


Sincerely,



Jeremy Meddling
Nintendo of America Inc.



Blasted Jeremy! Always meddling with things. /shot

What makes this so much more annoying for me is that I was going to check our local Gamestops this week. But then the flippin' Chicken Pox got most everyone in our family. It's like the world hates me for not getting it new...

[font=Tahoma]I just love how they recommend checking second-hand stores whenever Gamestop is, y'know, also second-hand. Why would I be inquiring about this without checking Gamestop first? Whoever signed off on the auto-response could have at least read my message, since I said I checked Used game stores, lol.

Had something similar, thanks though.





ello,


Thanks for contacting us. I'm sorry to hear that you've been having difficulty finding Xenoblade Chronicles. In regard to your question, Nintendo is out of stock of Xenoblade Chronicles and we don't plan on receiving anymore. We don't have any information about production of the game, or whether more will be made.

I encourage you to keep checking with GameStop on their website, and in other online sources in case additional supplies become available or the price drops. I know this isn't likely what you wanted to hear, but we appreciate your understanding. I will be sure to document your feedback and add it to our feedback records for this title.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.


Sincerely,

Ben Weekly
Nintendo of America, Inc.
