Watch 24 Minutes of Xenoblade Chronicles X Open World Gameplay

Nintendo has released a new, 24-minute video showing off open-world gameplay footage of the upcoming Wii U exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Unfortunately, the video is only available in Japanese at the moment, but you can still gather a lot about the game by just watching gameplay. You'll get to see a little bit of group combat, exploring a few of the game's huge open areas, and some of its giant robots flying around.

Xenoblade Chronicles X will launch in Japan on April 29, and in North America and Europe later this year.

In other Xenoblade Chronicles news, Nintendo recently announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, the upcoming port of Monolith Soft's Wii game, will launch exclusively for the New Nintendo 3DS on April 10.

The reason Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is exclusive to the New 3DS is because the system packs a speedier CPU that is necessary for running the game. It's the only game to be announced so far that requires the new system, which also plays all regular 3DS games.
