After the earlier Gamestop rumour we now have more evidence that Xenoblade Chronicles is heading to North America after all.
The Nintendo Facebook page just posted up an album of Xenoblade artwork, adding further fuel to speculation the the much-requested Japanese RPG is heading to North America after all.
Gamestop has also confirmed exclusively to us that the game does exist in their system exactly as the photo we posted earlier.

Sounds exciting
I'm on board!!! Let's do this.
Woooooooooooooooooo!
Thanks to Nintendo, and thanks to all the raindrops!
I should get this game already but it took forever to come to USA
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!
'Twould be a jolly Christmas miracle!
I just got naked after this announcement.
HAHAHAHAHA.
My thread was right.
Yeeeeeeesss! Now all your base are belong to us.
So I here this one of the Top three JRPGs this gen. Can't to play it.
cool
Awesome.
I'm with Vay.... LET OPERATION PANTYFALL COMMENCE!!!!
Does that mean NA people will shut up complaining now and using Xenoblade as a rebuttal for EU not getting certain things?
Oh well. They already lost my sale with how they acted when people wanted to know if it was coming.
But I guess good for the people who haven't played it yet.
@Katzii: Never! I want a free version of Kid Icarus 3D!!!!!!!
Last Story is all that matters.
I'm really excited about this!
I don't know why though - I've already put over a hundred hours into Xenoblade Chronicles since I bought it on the first day it was released in the UK.
Anyway, I'm hoping it's true for our colonial cousins' sake.
Reggie, I don't care that you're probably a puppet and possibly made out of hamburger, I could kiss you right on your big, meaty, name-taking mouth. I hardly ever shop at GameStop anymore, but I'll absolutely be putting down the money for a pre-order as soon as I can.
I'd still very much like to see the Last Story make its way over here, but this is certainly a nice improvement from getting jack squat.
WIIIIIIIHUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Hardy
I see hardy the hater is back in full force. With hate for even less of a reason to hate than before even. Anyway, day 1 buy
Me want!
well, I know what I'm doing after I get out of class
"would you like to pre-order any upcoming games"
"OMGXENOBLADECHRONICLESPLSKTHNX!"
Aw, I'm so happy for the US right now ^_^
Well done to everyone who never gave up. Well done to all Operation Rainfall members. They have really shown the power of grass roots fan movements and are an inspiration to other movements such as Operation Moonfall and 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3.
Next up, the localization of The Last Story and Pandora's Tower =)
I will be reserving this game when I pick up Mario Kart 7.
@RevolverLink I'm pretty sure that's the best comment that's ever been written on a Nintendo site EVER.
and now begins OpRa's epic backpatting sequence when NoA's been planning this since the beginning, probably.
/me yawns~

OH Snap.
I guess video game petitions are good for something. Let's hope this sells well so that we get The Last Story.
well done you guys in the U.S
This game is awesome. I'm not surprised seeing how well it does here.
Victory at last, yay! Happy to see that there will be something to look forward to Wii-wise next year before Wii U. I do hope this is a sign of hope for The Last Story too. I've especially waited for it, since it comes from Mr. Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi. Between this and Skyward Sword, how will my Wii hold up to all this awesomeness, after so much lameness for so long? If do get the other OpRa games, and moar VC, my Wii will melt, and I'll have nothing to play my games on until Wii U!
@JayArr
I want an invite to that party, given that the falling is coming from women.
Never thought this was gonna happen...
How inspiring.
Congratulations to all those members here in Operation Rainfall, or whatever it was called.
@TheBlackDragon
I was thinking the same thing. Now if only they bring over Another Code R.
W I N N I N G !
@Bigdog
If we get another Operation Rainfall game, North America can be Charlie Sheen and say we're still winning.
Finally! I'm so happy that everyone can enjoy this masterpiece now =)
cool. wii finally get a good jrpg on wii.
I don't think the petition had much of anything to do with this.
I had a hunch it was coming, even after they said "we have no current plans". It made perfect sense to hold this back for Spring in America, since Nintendo's initial plan was to "space out" releases as much as possible, as said by Iwata
Last Story and Pandora's Tower may even come out late next year or over the summer, even. Nintendo still has 3 games to put out: Pokepark 2, Rhythm Heaven and Mario Party 9. So, they have 6 games for Wii and 12 months... Do the math.
I never thought words could be a great Christmas present, but this has made my December already.
very nice art work.
Shingi thanks for the link. I'm really looking forward to this even more after watching that video. And I'm glad it's not coming out until April as I don't think Zelda would have compared favorably after playing this.
