... but I hope it does have the Japanese voices included as an option, like Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii had.

I certainly won't buy a dub-only game.

mikeslemonade3234d ago

Looks good, but could have been better on current gen spec hardware.

themonado3234d ago (Edited 3234d ago )

Yeah, that's just too bad...

wonderfulmonkeyman3234d ago (Edited 3234d ago )

Gameplay quality would not have suddenly risen just because of that, bro.XD
It matches their vision for the game.

gamingpro3234d ago

Lol at you casuals, gotta love you guys, don't know anything about gaming how sweet lol.

R00bot3234d ago

I can't see it having that on-disc as they've already filled it as it is, but maybe they can implement an optional free download for those that want Japanese voices.

bnoyes3234d ago

Every time I watch footage from this game it practically lulls me to sleep. Perfect for nap time.

PhoenixUp3234d ago

Wii U has to wait long periods before it gets quality RPGs while PS4 gets them on a continuous basis.

Moonman3234d ago

O.....K......and you felt you needed to say that why exactly??

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3234d ago

arent 90% of PS4 JRPG available on PS3 and Vita as well

nodim3231d ago

Vita is not considered a console nowadays and reaction to all multiplat games are pretty much "JUST LOOK AT ALL THOSE GAMES FOR PS4, MY GOD, IT'S A QUEEN OF RPG, PS2-LEVEL. AND LOOK HOW DEAD VITA IS, ZERO GAMES, OMIGAWD". Kinda disgusting.

Debaitable3234d ago

And why can't Star Fox look this good?! GG.....

Moonman3234d ago

Watch this...Star Fox is simply stylized. It's sharp and the sound is pretty great....

PygmelionHunter3234d ago

Stylized? Come on, that's not an excuse for the awful texture works... And being sharp just makes it all worse!

Though it seems to hold a steady 60fps, and yet, I know they can do a whole lot better than that on Wii U.

Moonman3234d ago

I don't know when this build was made for E3, do you? Who knows what it may look like now. I am just saying that it looks like a Star Fox game. The style and feel. Nobody would mistake that art style for anything else.

ChickeyCantor3233d ago (Edited 3233d ago )

The issue with starfox is that it's rendering to two different buffers. So it has to render twice basically. And if you want to keep it 60fps you'd have to keep the resources less complex.

Xenoblade doesn't "suffer" from this design issue.

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64312d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg312d ago (Edited 312d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64312d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64312d ago (Edited 312d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble312d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999312d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble312d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment312d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai312d ago (Edited 312d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic312d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Operation Rainfall: 10 Years On

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212749d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop750d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212750d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07791d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07791d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212791d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX791d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX791d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
