Monado

Monado

Xenoblade Chronicles, known in Japan as Xenoblade (ゼノブレイド, Zenobureido?), is a role-playing video game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo for the Wii console. The game was announced during E3 2009, when a trailer was released to media. The game follows a young man named Shulk, who wields the titular Xenoblade – an energy blade called the Monado – against the Mechon in order to ultimately save the world. Originally titled Monado: Beginning of the World, the game was retitled Xenoblade in January 2010 to honour Tetsuya Takahashi, "who poured his soul into making this and the Xeno series". The game was released on 10 June 2010 in Japan, 19 August 2011 in Europe, 1 September 2011 in Australia, and in North America on 6 April 2012.
