During PAX Prime, Nintendo announced Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition is coming to Wii U on Dec. 4. This announced special package, now available for pre-order, will launch alongside the regular edition of the game. For fans of the series, this special package will be available for $89.99 and include the following (according to Nintendo):

For gamers unfamiliar with Xenoblade Chronicles X, here is the basis of the game: “Earth is destroyed and humanity faces annihilation from an intergalactic war between two alien races. Players must fight for their survival and explore a new planet full of exotic and hostile life-forms. To traverse the planet with ease, players can pilot customizable mechs called “Skells,” which give them powerful weapons. Players can also customize a lethal skill set of combat and defensive skills called Arts to strengthen their strategies and defeat enemies efficiently.”
