The tension begins anew as fans line up online to once again try and snag a copy of the Special Edition of Xenobldae Chronicles 3. Today, June 30, Nintendo is reopening the portal on its My Nintendo Store to let fans get a chance at pre-purchasing a copy for themselves. Here’s the announcement that was made via the company’s official Twitter account:
Pre-purchase for the #XenobladeChronicles3 Special Edition will be available on the My Nintendo Store on 6/30.
Please note that you may be placed in a waiting room as pre-order requests are processed, and the purchase limit has been set at 1 per account. pic.twitter.com/g6bOJqcGwy

Details beyond this are scarce. Apparently, fans can expect to be waiting a bit as Nintendo processes orders. There will also be a limit of one copy per account. Not that any of this will deter scalpers, of course, but at least there’s a fighting chance for consumers to get a copy without having to pay exorbitant prices. This is the second time Nintendo has opened up the pre-purchase window for the Special Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, with the previous attempt proving to be an abortive effort.
As of this writing the portal isn’t yet accepting pre-purchases, but try the link for yourself throughout the day—and good luck!
