About this game

Life in the world evolved on the bodies of two giant motionless world-gods named Bionis and Mechonis.

In this world, Shulk, a young man with mysterious origins, comes across a magical sword named Monado, that allows him to see glimpses of the future.

Shulk finds himself caught in the struggle between the humans from Bionis and the machines from Mechonis.

Along his quest to defeat the machines he will have to help the inhabitants of Bionis rebuild their world.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a Japanese-style role-playing game with several distinguishing characteristics.

Exploring the vast world takes a significant part in the gameplay.

Weather and day/night cycle influence the availability of quests and characters.

In such an open world it is not uncommon to encounter creatures much stronger than what Shulk and his allies can manage.

When the player dies he is teleported to the last save point with no penalty.

Objectives can be completed in any order and many side quests are available.

The fighting system resembles the one from Final Fantasy XII .

There is no "battle screen"; battles happen directly in the open field without transition.

During the battle attacks are launched automatically at regular intervals.

The player selects his actions via a menu.

Aside from Shulk, the player can control a team of characters with various abilities.

Team attacks are available to inflict extra damage.

However, once the player enters a battle, characters cannot be switched, and all other allies are AI-controlled.

About Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.

Gamevaro tracks Xenoblade Chronicles for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Xenoblade Chronicles to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2016.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Xenoblade Chronicles, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
