So GOTY 2015 confirmed, BTW the G in GOTY in this case also stands for godlike... then again Monolith Soft are beyond Gods in the world of video game development. Literally...beyond....Gods

Starbucks_Fan3837d ago

Little early to say GOTY for next year haha. Looks great though.

trywizardo3837d ago

with halo 5 , uncharted 4 and quantum break on the horizon , i think its gonna be a hard competition .
but i gotta say this game looks really awesome

Locknuts3837d ago

Next year is going to be absolutely insane for gamers. Nobody could name a game at this point and say it'll be the best game next year. I'll be getting this one though for sure.

3-4-53837d ago

Get to play the first one on New 3DS, and follow it with this game.

Can't wait.

Never played it for wii.

Magicite3837d ago

So, its not confirmed 2015 release?

Neonridr3836d ago

No, just targeting 2015. So expect it holiday 2015 at the earliest.

bouzebbal3837d ago

most sensless post i've read in a long time.

OT: I WANT THIS GAME!

Overall good direct, but 5 bucks for the pikmin short film is BS.

Metallox3837d ago

There's something called Dailymotion, expect to see them tomorrow. Although I'm going to pay for them, I thought they had some functionality with Miiverse? So it's not just the 30 minute film, I think it's a good value.

herbs3837d ago

Completely agree those short films should be free for all Wii U owners or at least Pikmen 3 owners.

deafdani3837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

Those short films cost them money to make. Why exactly should they give them away for free?

:/

Cant Wait, Wii U's next year line up is going to be strong

Dunban673836d ago

Next year or 2016- both Xenoblade nd Zelda could slip to 2016

deafdani3836d ago

I have a feeling Zelda U will be the one to slip to 2016, but Xenoblade will remain a 2015 title, although probably late in the year. It has already been delayed a year, because it was originally slated to release on 2014, and it's been in development longer than Zelda U, I believe.

mysteryraz113837d ago

seen better looking ps3 games look how low detailed the environment is, I am sure it will be fun though but still

Qrphe3837d ago

It's looks slightly better than the first two FFXIII games but this game has A LOT more going on on screen. Who cares about the graphics anyway

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

5x the scale of xenoblade
bigger open world than all ps3 game
has a lot of stuff rendering at the same time

3/4 of ps3 aren't open world

Big_Game_Hunters3837d ago

Name em, and please say something that makes sense, we all know a 7 hour linear game will look better than an open world RPG.

thezeldadoth3837d ago

do you realize how huge even the first xenoblade chronicles was? Massive. Skyrim's size is a tiny fraction. The landscape changed dramatically between areas and so did the awesome soundtrack. The combat system is near perfect. These graphics are awesome, but thats not the point.

herbs3837d ago

Myseryeyes>< You need to go see an eye doctor maybe a brain surgeon. Not many games out there that have enemy's as tall a skyscrapers just roaming around in an open world environment with this amount of detail. I think these visuals are easily on par with what PS4 Xone have to offer. I game on a PC that runs most games at 1080p 60fps with Ultra settings a significant boost over what next gen consoles offer and I'm blown away with this game. It is simply amazing what Monolith is able to achieve with the Wii U hardware and if you disagree with that statement you are either blinded by your fanboyism or just strait up have some screws loose.

tee_bag2423837d ago

That's what a fanboy would say. Wait.. 1 bubble. Certified clown no one takes seriously

9 Reasons to Play Xenoblade Chronicles X

The ill-fated Wii U sold very few units, so it is understandable if you missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles X, here are 9 reasons why you should play the Definitive Edition.

Reason number 1 why I haven’t played yet:
Cannot commit the time. :/

GotGame81818d ago

The nice thing about X is you have a Follow Ball. If you haven't played for a few days it will help you jump right back in! Fantastic game! You should at least have 5 initial hours over 2 days or so to invest. I also suggest grinding to at least level 14 before chapter 3.

Zeldafan6418d ago

It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.

PRIMORDUS18d ago

I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕

Dhika18d ago

I bought it on the Wii U years ago and couldn’t get into it too 🙁

PRIMORDUS18d ago

I feel ya, sucks cause I wanted to like it, I tried.

TFdwnunder18d ago

Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed

Are The Xenoblade Games Connected?

Netto's Game Room explains how the Xenoblade titles are connected to each other; from Xenoblade Chronicles, to the newly released Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, and even Xenogears and Xenosaga.

1 - 3 are connected. Idk if X is connected since I haven't beaten the epilogue in X yet. X will probably be connected.

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

Zeldafan64690d ago

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

jznrpg690d ago (Edited 690d 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 .

Zeldafan64689d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64690d ago (Edited 690d 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.

luckytrouble690d 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.

chaos999690d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble689d 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.

DefaultComment690d 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.

isarai690d ago (Edited 690d 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!"

FinalFantasyFanatic689d 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.
