Nintendo of America announced that it will release Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles role-playing game for the Nintendo Wii console in April 2012 in North America.

The game was originally released in Japan in June 2010 and in Europe in August 2011. The game was directed by Tetsuya Takahashi (Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I).

In June, fans started a petition to bring the game to North America; however, Nintendo said in July it had no plans to bring Xenoblade Chronicles "to the Americas at this time."

A three-minute video of the game is currently being streamed on Nintendo's website.
