Honestly, the whole debacle around the XC3 special Edition got me turned off on the idea of getting it. It's clear the logistics concerning the special edition were not prepared thoroughly once they announced the game to come out earlier than initially planned.

And with the whole idea of having it centralized on a single website like theirs ... It was destined to happen.

Only good thing to come out of it is that you could say the Xenoblade community as grown enough that they could actually terminate Nintendo webstore lol. Looking good for the future sales of this game hahaha

I believe they've re-scheduled the pre-orders for NA. I was worried about this happening, but luckily the AU/NZ website was pretty much unaffected. Only strange thing is that they're shipping the base game on time, but the collector's items will ship separately later.

Xenoblade does have a troubled history with releases in NA.
