This has probably been asked several times before, but how long will it take for this to get to me if I'm importing?

Regarding the CCPro: Can't say that I've had that problem. I use mine for everything from Smash Bros. to PC gaming, and I haven't had that issue.
Those things have a three month warranty if you still have the receipt though, or a one year warranty if it came with your Wii, so you might send it in if it's still covered.
Edit: The e-mail most retailers are sending out suggest between one to three weeks if you're importing.

Or Demon Souls, hell we can probably go ahead and put Dark Souls out there too.
This game is getting put on a very big pedestal, the JP impressions made it sound "good" not OMFG amazing.
Still going to import but whats the best place to import from?

Couple weeks at the max I imagine if you live in the states.

To be entirely fair, that's because it's coming to the Wii, and the only competition it has going for it are Tales of Symphonia
oTNW (Fuck you haters), Arc Rise Fantasia, and the Last Story. You have to give the Wii-RPG demographic something man; this is their thing.Also, it does look pretty good.

Thankfully this is not the baseline of the reviews we have so far.
Can someone help me? I've been installing all the necessary apps to get my Wii ready for Xenoblade; I installed the Homebrew Channel, Homebrew Browser, D2x and IOS236. The only issue I'm having is installing USB Loader.
On the GAF tutorial page, it says I need IOS248 to get USB Loader to work: http://gwht.wikidot.com/usb-loader
But the only tutorial I found in the Wiki is to install IOS236, which I did: http://gwht.wikidot.com/ios236
So how do I install 248 to get the USB Loader working?
Alternatively, the Wiki says I could easily install StartPatch with the IOS I already installed, which can also help you play region free: http://gwht.wikidot.com/avoid-disc-updates
But the wording also suggests this isn't as stable as USB Loader. Plus I wouldn't be able to install games to USB if I wanted to.

seems the game is going to sell pretty good, stupid NOA for not bringing it there

I actually figured it out, I copied the Meta file into the wrong folder. It works now.
The only question I have is: do I need to boot up USB Loader through the Homebrew Channel every time I want to start Xenoblade, or is there a way to just pop the disc in and boot it up the normal way (through the main menu of the Wii)?

Eurogamer review [9/10]
1. You should be able to. As long as they're formatted the same, your Wii shouldn't actually be able to differentiate between a flash drive and an hdd. You'll need at least 8GBs though, possibly more.SOLDIER said:
2. Which USB Loader is that? ULoader? Give USB Loader GX a shot. It's theme is much more tasteful, though admitted the program can be unstable and glitchy. Configurable USB Loader also looks quite nice (with a lot of themes available) but I haven't actually tried it for myself, so I can't really comment on it for sure.

"No Japanese RPG has more successfully married its various components this hardware generation. It's a game that invites us to reassess an entire genre, pointing to a bold future while nodding its respect towards the past. It's a towering triumph."
Cube3 review:

- "On the presentation side, as already touched upon, Xenoblade excels considerably, with nearly no loading times to be found, and the few that are in there last only a couple of seconds. Monolith Soft has tweaked the game perfectly so that the sprawling landscape can be navigated without the need for constant loading screens, á la Monster Hunter tri."
- "Bringing so many composers for the total of 90 songs could have been a total disaster, but Yasunori Mitsuda, Yoko Shimomura, ACE+ and Manami Kiyota working together has created a stunningly eclectic selection of music that somehow manages to fit together perfectly from start to finish."
- "the main story can last up to 60 hours, even when rushing through"
- "Xenoblade Chronicles has arrived, bringing with it an sterling soundtrack, a phenomenal visual impact, vast amount of customisation, intriguing story and massive value for money. With it definitely proving itself to be of the highest calibre on Wii, it is time for RPG fans to take a stand and show their appreciation for this sublime classic."

They really just nail a lot of things right, aside from the gameplay and story. The mechanics all around are really approachable. Like being able to manipulate day/night anytime you'd like without any issues, save anywhere, no penalty death, warp to any check point ay any time and so on. A lot of great streamlining that's absolutely welcome in the genre.
On load times, I always played it off my hard drive, so I really can't say if it ever had issues with it or not.

It's still a bit surreal to me that I'm having to import this game and hack my wii.
All the attempted rationalizations have many holes so I've had to reject them all.
I'm so thankful to the more sensible and visionary people in charge of NOE (Reggie is a follower).
Can't wait to play!

I hope it arrives at my house soon. I need something to pass the time until the Fall Gaming Bonanza begins.
I repeat my question; How is the game controlled with wiimote+nunchuck? Works or do I NEED to get the CCPro? I really don't want more plastic. But I really do want this game and after all these amazing reviews I am sure to get it and add to the hopefully nice European salesnumbers.

It works absolutely fine, I never had any problems (but then I'm incredibly strange and actually ENJOY the wiimote. It feels nice because I can just relax my hands and have them lay in my lap while I play...) Perhaps someone who has played with both can tell you why one is superior to the other, but it IS completely playable without.
