Xenoblade Chronicles is an action role-playing game released for the Wii developed by Monolith Soft as the sixth title in their Xeno franchise of games. The game was originally revealed at E3 2009 under the title Monado: Beginning of the World, though the name was later changed in honor of Tetsuya Takahashi, who has directed all previous Xeno games.

The game was released in Japan in 2010, and was later brought to Europe in 2011. With no word of an American release despite its reveal at E3 2009, American fans started a campaign known as "Operation Rainfall" to generate interest it it as well as two other games, Pandora's Tower and The Last Story; Nintendo would later release the English localization in 2012 as a GameStop exclusive, although Nintendo of America later stated that the campaign did not affect their release plans.[1]

In 2015, the game would be ported to New Nintendo 3DS by Monster Games as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. Europe would also see a re-release of the original version of the game as a Wii U download later in 2015.

For its release in some regions the game was bundled with a red Classic Controller Pro, an alternative cover, and a poster with an autograph from Tetsuya Takahashi.
