They called it "Xenoblade Chronicles" on bestbuy.place holder for the new Xenoblade game that is coming at some point
No it's not, online retailers do it all the time. They do it even for rumoured titles that have never been in development.Its far to early to be putting up preorders from a Japanese game that is in the early stages of development.
If so they would have put "Xeno" or "Xenoblade 2"Placeholder for 'X'?
"Can't wait, now I can be bored in High Definition!"
but isnt the first game called Xenoblade: Chronicles?If so they would have put "Xeno" or "Xenoblade 2"
In Japan it was just named Xenoblade. They re-named it Xenoblade Chronicles for the European localization.but isnt the first game called Xenoblade: Chronicles?
What like they called it Xenoblade for the Wii release in America? Oh wait no, they didn't...they called it Xenoblade Chronicles.If NOA was handling it they would just call it Xenoblade.
If you look at the NA box art they shrunk the "Chronicles" part down quite a bit and removed it from promotional material. Probably just because they didn't want to re-tool a game they didn't think would sell. However it wound up selling better than Europe or Japan by a large margin.What like they called it Xenoblade for the Wii release in America? Oh wait no, they didn't...they called it Xenoblade Chronicles.
I'll just leave you in your denial and wish you the best in the hope for a HD remake of a game you've already played.

According to vgchartz NA was the best selling region.But the links are hardly credible. They're two stray listings for Xenoblade for the Wii U. They could be X (as mentioned) or they could be mislistings of Xenoblade for the Wii.
It's a really large leap to equate it to Xenoblade Chronicles HD. Considering the game came out two years ago, it's a bit ridiculous. Especially considering the game didn't do too hot outside of Japan and I don't see why they'd spend the time doing both a HD conversion of it AND localizing that as well.
