The reality of Xenoblade Chronicles actually being released in America is getting just a bit easier to absorb into our still-surprised consciousness today, as Nintendo of America has just shared the official North American box art for the highly demanded title. Here it is, as posted on NOA's Wii fan page on Facebook:






The art essentially mirrors the packaging design released in Europe a few months ago, but interestingly Nintendo of America has chosen to de-emphasize the "Chronicles" part of the title. Now it's just "Xenoblade" that stands out in a big, bold font, while Chronicles slots in much smaller just below.

If you're an American fan planning on purchasing a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles for yourself, remember that it's a GameStop exclusive in the United States and you'll need to put in your pre-order there. Alternatively, you'll be able to pre-order the title directly from Nintendo through the company's online storefront -- though that option won't go live until next week.
