Nintendo of America revealed on Friday that it will release Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles role-playing game for the Nintendo Wii console in April 2012 in North America.

The game was originally released in Japan in June 2010 and in Europe in August 2011. Tetsuya Takahashi (Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I) directed the game.

In June, fans started a petition to bring the game to North America; however, Nintendo said in July it had no plans to bring Xenoblade Chronicles "to the Americas at this time."

Nintendo is currently streaming a three-minute video for the game.
