Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Preorder Crashes Nintendo's Site
The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition has crashed the Nintendo of America website, as budding JRPG fans battle in the queue to get a copy of the game. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 launches on July 29, after having its release date moved forward, in what was likely an attempt to give it some space apart from the upcoming release of Splatoon 3 in September.
The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition is quite basic as far as special editions go. The set contains the game, a steelbook case, a special oversized box with unique art, and a hardcover art book. There are no fancy statues, nor any digital items that can be claimed in-game. This doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be DLC content for the game in the future, as Xenoblade Chronicles 2 received the expansive Torna — The Golden Country expansion after release.

The official Nintendo of America Twitter account has announced that the preorders for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition set are live, providing a link to the official Nintendo website. It seems that the Xenoblade Chronicles fans are a lot thirstier for an art book than Nintendo realized, as the pre-order rush crashed the web page for the game. Visiting the website right now will bring up a page saying «We have a lot of visitors right now. Hang in there…we'll be with you soon! (And please don't refresh or close this page unless you'd like to leave the line.)», leaving players in a queue.
