Basically repeats what we already know.

pcz3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

i would call this a preview, not a trailer.

in my mind a trailer is 2 mins tops, short and punchy. not 6 mins

they also have 30mins of previews for this game, so its overkill really. i would actually like to see a new TRAILER where all the selling points are condensed into a digestible size.

also these previews give too much away, i just skim through them.

i would go as far to say this game is being marketed wrong. by the time they finish with these huge previews, there will be nothing left to see

just another thing i noticed-the graphics in general seem to have been downgraded. it used to actually look next gen, but now it looks like a HD version of xenoblade on the wii. it still looks amazing, but i would say there is a visual downgrade from the earlier videos

Neonridr3298d ago

the game has well over 100 hours of gameplay. I am sure there will be plenty you haven't seen from these small previews.

N4g_null3298d ago

Wow those enemies look badass! I count 3 new ones and the mech guys stand off from before along with the Giants.... man this is going to be fun. Best downgrade ever! If you ask me. If turning down the lighting effects moving a mech or two produces games like this then I'm all for it.

What bothers me now is Zelda will have less apple trees now that nintendo knows how to even downgrade games better than the competition. First it was doing dlc better now it's downgrading too! Wow. Basically nintendo will eventually be a better Sony than Sony soon if they keep this up! /s

Really I can't complain rarely do we get this much game for $60. Smash and a few other games by nintendo are starting a pretty cool trend.

JRPGS are back this gen and I LOVE IT!

The endinding CUTSCENE looks better than what we have seen before..does that mean it got an upgrade in graphics? ;) LOL

TheOtherVitaOwner3298d ago

I just hope people stop freaking out about the games plot. Those scenes at the end should be proof enough that the story will still play a major role in this game.

Wonderful1013298d ago

Wonder if there are going to be any benefits for not using mecha. Either way, mecha for me.

deafdani3298d ago

As far as I know, you're limited by fuel. So you won't be able to use mechas all the time, I guess.

BigDuo3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

There are benefits. According to the unofficially translated version of the last video, you can choose to mix and match your party members to fight in or outside of their mechs.The characters that you want to fight in mechs can take advantage of being equipped with special armor called Doll suits that you can buy for them. These suits boost a mech's performance which I assume means they have improved stats. The only problem is that if you get out of your mech to fight on foot, then you'r human doll armor set will be fairly weak because its not really meant to be used in combat on foot,so it doesn't provide yo with ideal protection.

When a character is fighting on foot while other party members fight inside their mechs, that character on foot gets a boost in defensive power. this defensive boost will increase even further based on how many other party members are fighting inside their mechs. If up to 3 characters are fighting inside a mech and one character is on foot, then the character on foot gets a defensive boost nearly as high as a mech's own defensive power. This makes it balanced, so players have the option to fight the way they want.

Here's the video. The explanation starts at 18:09 and ends at 19:28.

Wonderful1013298d ago

It seems like 3 characters on mechs and 1 on foot will be an optimal party setup. Sounds good.

The game really promotes playstyle variation, I like that.

MSBAUSTX3298d ago

I seriously cant wait for this game to come out. I will he so busy with this, Splatoon, Yoshis Wooly World, and Smash Bros DLC that I wont have time for anything else entertainment wise.

TheOtherVitaOwner3298d ago

This is great and all, but I'd really appreciate NOA putting out some localized trailers for this thing. They better not force western gamers to just sit in the dark for months after the Japanese release.

Gemmol3298d ago

its coming out this year, we will know the day at e3, write me down for this but I bet it come out between August - Septemeber

TheOtherVitaOwner3298d ago

That's probably a pretty realistic prediction, though I was initially really hoping for a June/July release date. I blame Zelda U's delay.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3298d ago

they cant if they haven't finalize it

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

Zeldafan64311d ago

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

jznrpg311d ago (Edited 311d 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 .

Zeldafan64311d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64311d ago (Edited 311d 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.

luckytrouble311d 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.

chaos999311d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble311d 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.

DefaultComment311d 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.

isarai311d ago (Edited 311d 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!"

FinalFantasyFanatic311d 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.

pietro1212748d 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.

porkChop749d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212749d 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 790d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

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

ocelot07790d 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?

MadLad790d ago (Edited 790d 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.

pietro1212790d ago

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

XxINFERNUSxX790d 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.

XxINFERNUSxX790d 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...
