In news that’ll provide a little schadenfreude for our American cousins, some of the people lucky enough to have received Xenoblade Chronicles today (I wasn’t one – thank you GAME) have reported that the game has caused disc read errors on their Wii.
Xenoblade Chronicles follows in the footsteps of Metroid: Other M and Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a dual-layer disc game that the Wii has had trouble reading. While this isn’t a wide spread problem there has been dozens of reports today from angry gamers unable to play Xenoblade.
If you have a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles that is causing a disc read error the best thing to do is return it to the store and ask for a new (and hopefully working) copy.
