June is a big month for fans of Xenoblade Chronicles. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition just released on Nintendo Switch at the end of May, and this month also marks the original game's 10th anniversary. The game released in Japan on June 10th, 2010 on the Nintendo Wii. Gamers in North America would have to wait nearly two years for the title to release in the region, but for many, it proved worth the wait. The series has become pretty popular over the last decade, inspiring a spin-off on Wii U, as well as a Nintendo Switch sequel. As such, it's not surprising to see fans taking the time to celebrate the game.

The RPG is a favorite among many gamers.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of my favorite RPG Xenoblade Chronicles. 10 years old, this game holds up amazingly well. If you want to play it and see what it's all about, you can get it pre-owned on Wii, "new" 3DS, Digital on Wii U, or the Remake on Switch. Highly recommend.

To think, the game almost didn't come to North America!

Happy 10th anniversary, Xenoblade. This game honestly changed my life and I owe so much of who I am to it. Thank you to both Project Rainfall for letting us get to experience this wonderful game, and to @chuggaaconroy for first showing me it.

It's interesting to see the impact it's had on fans.

it's Xenoblade's tenth anniversary. Xenoblade is a series that has had a significant impact on me. It's hard to put into words how the game has genuinely affected my philosophy, social circle, compositional style, and so many other aspects of my life.#XenobladeChronicles_fes20
