We'll admit it, we like covering Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U, even if it means gazing longingly towards Japan and contemplating rapid-fire lessons in the Japanese language. Monolith Soft's RPG is rather impressive in its scope and ambition, and we can't help but admire it.
With that in mind, and with the game gracing Japanese systems today, we thought we'd share some rather handsome wallpaper images that have been posted on an interactive world map on the official website. They show off the art style at play, in addition to some of the rather handsome designs for the world, creatures and mechs / dolls / skells.
There are eight of these to gaze at below - enjoy!

None of them are amazing
I think the 7th one is mocking The Last Guardian.
So, when does the Wii U get Themes so we can use these where they belong?
Today in Japan huh? So next week we'll find out if a JRPG can sell the Wii U?
I saw these and immediately downloaded and set a new desktop on my work computer, NOT for Xenoblade X (who knows if I'll like this game even though I think I will), but for my all time favorite game, Xenoblade Chronicles!
I hate waiting :/
I really like the 4th one with the Dolls.
Wonder why they named them dolls they should of picked a better name like Xenogears, Xenosuits, or Xenomechs.
Yawn. Not very exciting. Neither is this game, honestly, if it continues Takahashi's atheist preaching agenda.
@Shyguyanonymous Have you paid any attention to the game whatsoever?
@Quorthon ain't gonna like this... keep it up!
Those wallpapers make the game look rather decent Oo
Gorgeous themes- I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th the most.
I'm gonna be wrapping up Monster Hunter in another month or two. I just hope I'll have enough time to play Xenoblade 3D before this game releases. And I'm dropping everything to play Witcher 3, Splatoon, Arkham Knight and Yoshi's Wooly World when they release, so November would be just right.
Ah... beautiful.
@Shyguyanonymous What are you talking about?
@Dryden thumbs up for xenomechs
Nicely pictures
For anyone whose interested, im guessing everyone here Here is a fantastic wallpaper for X, the detail is insane. That is owed to the fact that its res is: 7008x3760 and 32.6MB So mobile users be warned lol:

Though for the mobile users out there, i also have some Nintendo wallpapers and ringtones i got from the European Club Nintendo because i had some spare coins left over For all you collectors of such things; The Wind Waker ringtones are particularly good: http://1drv.ms/1PSuGw8
@rjejr amateur. Who needs a Wii U theme?... I'll just make due with what I have!
@JaxonH tell me about it! 2015 gaming wise is going to be stacked! Heck, I still don't have enough time to clear the backlog I already have
@Dryden - um, there's probably a really good reason why they didn't name them Xenogears.
@DiscoGentleman - Man, I hope that's a "yes, we need themes" and not a "yes, we finally got themes", or else you sir, are going to be very disappointed.
You know what would be more awesome, a western release date.
And maybe change "Skells" back to "Dolls."
@Sir_JBizzle - I'm guessing that's an Xbox One screen b/c I see a whole lot of apps but no games. Judge Judy is good though.
Thank you
@rjejr Haha. Touché! All my games are pinned on the screen to the left (they're all digital), even still, my Wii U collection dwarfs both my PS4/XB1 collection combined.
It sucks for the people who will cave in and watch live streams and spoil the game for themselves. I will remain strong and avoid spoilers. That means no GameXplain for me until the game is in my hands.
@Sir_JBizzle - So far my PS4 collection consists of games I'm still playing on my PS3, currently Last of Us. Though to be fair I'm currently also playing Xenoblade on my Wii U, guess I didn't need a Wii U yet either. (That Wii U part is just a joke, it's gotten plenty of use, but I need to finish Xeno before Xeno X comes out. PS4 purchase is waiting for The Last Guardian or FFXV or KH3. One of them may release some day.)
Haven't had any Xbox system yet. I say yet b/c my sons are 10 and 12 and we live in an Xbox dominated neighborhood so it's probably only a matter of time. Though I'm ok if they wait until they go away to college.
Why would we want to buy a Japanese Wii U for a game that is coming to the west? That is like saying I should buy a New 3DS for a game I still play on my Wii/ Wii U.
I'd rather some with a focus on the world, like the Xenoblade ones did. Robot porn doesn't do it for me, I'm not massively into mechs or how badass they look. That's not the most exciting aspect of this game for me, I'd be perfectly happy if they weren't in it. Though I imagine they'll be handy for exploring the vast world more quickly, and reaching places you can't on foot.
Is no one going to mention Xenoblade X's week one DLC? Japan gets 4 characters with new Dolls/Skells and a handfull of missions and quests for the low low price of roughly $20. Seems as though Nintendo no longer cares about releasing a complete game. First Hyrule Warriors, then Mario Kart 8, even Smash Bros. wasn't safe from hastily released DLC. Nintendo is officially the EA of Asia, cousin to Ubisoft, the EA of Europe, and EA, the EA EA EA.
@BlueNitrous What? Smash didn't have DLC until Mewtwo showed up a few days ago. And the Mario Kart stuff was long after release, as well. This was extra stuff developed after the games were released, it's not like they were withheld from the final game just to make money.
The Xenoblade extras, on the other hand...If they are available from day one, then they should be in the final game. It's screwy to charge for completed content on day one...
@rjejr well Gundams have always been labeled as Gundams as have Transformes although being the name of its original show so I don't see why they could not use Xenogears as the type of mech. Still other ones I mention could be nice Xenomechs or Xenosuits.
@day Thx 😊 the game will still be awesome no Mather what the darn this are called ☺
Darn truth that is. Here here.
@Dryden d'oh
@Crimzonlogic @BlueNitrous https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/04/xenoblade_chronicles_x_paid-dlc_details_emerge_with_characters_quests_and_skell_unlocks
@Dryden there calld Skells now or something I like the name Xenosute's but dunno if someones sed or not but Xenogears is a old PS2(I think) game witch I beleve SquareEnix owns
—
Just D-Loaded all theses on to my phone lol.
Awesome!
The wallpapers are pretty.
nice themes for when i get a new laptop, using my wii u for surfing the web
@Crimzonlogic not all dlc are like that, this game is huge and a game like this does scream dlc, unlike dead or alive 5 last round (and many others) where the game is unfinished is $60 while the "extra" is the complete game for $80 (not to mention the $99 complete season pass). not fanboying but nintendo is practically the only company that does dlc right, full game and dlc as extra. i am gonna buy the game along with the dlc
@Grumblevolcano Yes, I saw that article the other day. What about it?
@Dryden They're called Skells in the Western version.
@Shyguyanonymous LOL
