Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is currently priced at $50 (previously $60) at Woot. The new Nintendo Switch title was just released on March 20, but the Amazon-owned discount store has a pattern of giving $10 reductions on Nintendo games during launch week. This offer has already sold out once, so you may need to act quickly to secure a copy at the reduced price.
It’s important to note that if you purchase a Switch game from Woot, you will usually receive an imported copy. All Nintendo Switch games are region-free, so the only difference you’ll notice is the ratings board logo. Your version of Xenoblade Chronicles X will be sealed and completely playable in English, so as long as you don’t mind a slightly different box, you can easily save $10 while you’re at it.
Similar to the upgraded version of the original game for Switch, this new remaster features enhanced graphics and quality-of-life improvements not present in the original 2015 release on Wii U. Along with visual enhancements…
and significant enhancements that refine its gameplay to resemble the more recent installments in the series, you will also discover several new narrative elements that enable you to explore the landscape of Modern Los Angeles in greater depth.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can engage with 31 diverse players globally across multiple multiplayer modes: Squad Duties, Online Missions, and World Nemesis Battles.
If Woot sells out, several major retailers have Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition available for its $60 MSRP, including Walmart and Best Buy. It is likely you may not find Xenoblade Chronicles X available directly on Amazon, as the retailer has not stocked new Nintendo releases for the past year.
Set in 2054, the game follows a small group of individuals as they escape their ravaged Earth and land on the enigmatic planet of Mira. You will be tasked with doing everything within your power to restore humanity from the edge of extinction, and the narrative is just as richly layered as all others in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. There is no requirement to have played any other Xenoblade titles before jumping in, as the story is a self-contained experience.
Xenoblade Chronicles Nintendo Amiibo Figures
Nintendo has launched five Amiibo figures based on characters from Xenoblade Chronicles. Three of these are currently available at retail prices. Shulk, the main character from the original Xenoblade Chronicles, is available exclusively at Target for $16. A 2-pack featuring Noah and Mio from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is available for $42 at Amazon and Walmart, which is $12 more than its original $30 MSRP. You might also find a 2-pack featuring Pyra and Mythra for $30 at GameStop, but this reprint launched on March 20 and may not be in stock for long.
