Last week's announcement that Xenoblade Chronicles is coming to North America actually only specified a United States release, leading those north of the border to wonder if it would see release in Canada. It will.
Nintendo of Canada confirmed to Examiner.com that the much-anticipated RPG is on the way to Canada:
Xenoblade Chronicles will be available in Canada in Spring 2012 . Additional information about the game and Canadian distribution will be announced in the future.
There you have it: on the way to the US and Canada in early 2012. Good news for everyone.

Glad to know I won't need to import.
Alright!! This is awesome.......Eh!
I have friends in Canada who would be interested in this game, so this is good news for them.
Its good to see that come Spring next year, all major regions will be able to play this amazing game.
isnt canada usually included in north america releases?
anyway, i might check it out... but i have other games to buy first
@tynerds37 Yep, but as the article says, the original announcement just said "United States"
more games to buy wooooot anyways i hope they bring that bundle out with the red cc pro either way im getting the game
lol I missed the distinction too. I wonder why they made it if they were gonna release it here anyways.
Well I though that was a given. Well either way it's good to know.
@James Oh okay, I didn't notice.
I don't have anything really to say about this, I just wanted to put my flag up here too . Not too many articles specify Canada
Darn Canadians
@lz20XX LOL!
Congratulations to my neighbors to the north.
Now for Pandora's Tower! finger crosses
@lz20XX
thats it no polar bear riding for you
I thought it was odd that only the US was specified when I read the initial announcements. Glad to see our neighbo(u)rs up north won't be getting the shaft.
I would have thought it was a given, personally, but glad to see it confirmed nonetheless
I'm glad to see that it's coming to Canada. Part of the reason for the worry was that there was that deal in the US with Gamestop. There might be a different distribution deal over here in Canada, or all the wrinkles may not have been ironed out by the time the official announcement took place.
I'll definitely be pre-ordering it wherever it is sold (preferably at a brick and mortar store)
We have a Nintendo of Canada? This is news to me. I always just assumed that Nintendo of America covered the whole continent.
Yeah, there is a Nintendo of Canada. I don't live on the mainland, but at least a few times when I was young we drove by the Nintendo offices when we were in Vancouver, and I was always like "Ooh!!!" I have no idea where in Vancouver it is though. It's kind of interesting how both the US and CAN Nintendo offices are located in close proximity to each other on the wet coast though.
Needs more Canadian Stereotypes...Eh...
If I can make it out of my igloo, I'll probably order a copy.
Buy it
No seriously, buy it.
It's probably the best RPG you're going to play for a couple of years.
@Kurt Yes the president has quite a wikipedia Page
@amerilia It might end up being a deal with Future Shop. They've had some deals in the past with Nintendo right?
Congrats fellow northern-most Americans
It's good to see that Canada will get to play this game. Now, Nintendo needs to release the Last Story here as that's the game I'm really looking forward to try out...and I'm NOT a die hard RPG player.
Good to know. More evidence that this isn't really a "release", though. More a direct-to-preorder sort of thing.
