‘Xenoblade Chronicles 3D’ Gets A North American Release Date, Amiibo Support

Briefly: Early this morning, while Canadians were putting aside their polite stereotypes and fighting over the latest Amiibo, and Americans were (likely) sleeping peacefully, Nintendo debuted a release date announcement trailer for the heavily anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.

The game hits North American shores on April 10th. Just keep in mind that you’ll need the NEW 3DS XL to be able to play the thing. Nintendo also revealed via twitter that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will feature some (fairly unexciting) Amiibo support:

Yep, some in-game tokens for tapping your ridiculously valuable Shulk Amiibo… but the game looks fantastic, so who cares!

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up a new 3DS for this one!
