StaticX Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Nintendo president Satoru Iwata unveiled a remake of Xenoblade Chronicles for Nintendo's newly announced systems, New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, at the Nintendo Direct presentation on Friday. Iwata stated that Nintendo previously wanted to port the game to Nintendo 3DS, and the increased power of the New Nintendo 3DS made it possible. The game is slated for next year. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghFEU4t_Pm8& The Xenoblade Chronicles game for Nintendo Wii shipped in Japan in 2010, Europe in 2011, and North America in 2012.

SenshiKeizu Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is it Japan only or is it going to be released worldwide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lord Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Maybe a worldwide release will come with the worldwide release of the new 3DS. If these become available I will be getting them for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenshiKeizu Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I hope the New 3DS improves the upscaling on DS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennerei Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Just when I was about to finally buy a 3DS, they announce this!! Now I have to wait! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatterheartiel Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 A handheld version of what is easily the greatest RPG of all time? The New Nintendo 3DS just became a day one purchase for me. I don't doubt this will get an overseas release, considering the popularity of the Wii version. It also speaks a lot for the power of the new 3DS - sure, it's no PS Vita, but it's a definite upscale, and it promises some equally exciting prospects for the future. That they call it a remake, and not a port, intrigues me as well. Is this Nintendo misusing the word remake, or are they actually going to add some new content to the game?

Tanis Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 This...is kind of stupid. They should release the 3DS 2, instead of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennerei Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 This...is kind of stupid. They should release the 3DS 2, instead of this. While I don't completely disagree, I do believe it's still to early for that! The 3DS is technically current gen, so it would make no sense to release a new console. It's also only 3 years old (the XL being 2), which is still new(ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenshiKeizu Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I wouldn't mind if it was just a new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O, that's right, 'upgrades' to a base software that ended up alinating a HUGE part of their fan base. Either consoles makes should bring out a NEW piece of hardware, or leave it alone until they do. None of this 'well, this game only works with the XL-v3.1b, and you have the LX+v3.1a' crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendon't Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I really hope Nintendo uses a different name for the system. "New Nintendo 3DS" is fucking terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do agree that releasing a game exclusive to the updated console is ridiculous and is horrible for those that already have the non-updated version. If that didn't happen, I'm sure this would've been a much better move. Still, for those few that still haven't got the console (like me), this is pretty good! I really hope Nintendo uses a different name for the system. "New Nintendo 3DS" is fucking terrible.Meh, Apple did it once. Except that was technically a new "console" and people still call it an iPad 3 (4 and so on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenshiKeizu Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) At the time it was still officially called "The New iPad", pretty sure people will call this the 3DS2. Edited September 2, 2014 by Rockman X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennerei Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 At the time it was still officially called "The New iPad", pretty sure people will call this the 3DS2. Oh, I think it's still official, just like the iPad 4 is the "iPad with Retina display" (which is already stupid since the new iPad/3, already had the retina display). Still, people will never call it that, just plain 3 and 4. And yes, I'm pretty sure everyone will call the new 3DS something like 3DS2, unless nintendo officially makes a 3DS2!

HeavenlyClassic Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 as someone who played this game to death (and is actually still not done with everything!)there is no way in hell id want to go thru it again. also,this exclusive games for the new 3ds is utter bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get the game, but can't really afford another DS Console lol, they'll only bring out another one a year later....
