After this morning's accidental retail reveal a Xenoblade Chronicles coming t' North America, Nintendo has made the game's launch official, pinning an "April 2012" release date t' the much hyped Wii RPG. Nintendo teased the reveal earlier today with a new gallery a Xenoblade artwork that mysteriously popped up on Facebook, though at the time there be no news attached t' said tease.

So, after this, now all the Operation Rainfall folks need t' do be pillage those other two Wii RPGs t' come out in the US, 'n we'll be all set! We'll pillage right back t' helping with that just as soon as we pillage through Skyward Sword 'n Xenoblade Chronicles. In, like, 120 hours, give or take.
