I understand why many overlooked Xenoblade Chronicles. After a 2011 launch in Europe, this massive JRPG first appeared to be skipping America despite having a full English translation. Then, when it finally did come to the US in 2012, positive buzz couldn’t make up for a limited release for a nearly dead console like the Wii. If you regret missing this open-world adventure, western players will finally have a real chance to experience on the New 3DS this April. And after playing the remake, I think it’s worth a second (or is it third?) look.
In a new financial presentation, Nintendo highlights Xenoblade Chronicles as one of several series seeing "dramatic sales growth on Nintendo Switch," joining Kirby, Pikmin, and Metroid. Compared to 1.41 million copies on 3DS and Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles has collectively sold 7.17 million copies on Switch between Xenoblade Chronicles 2, 3, and Definitive Edition.
I have bought every game no matter the system. Hopefully the Switch 2 is powerful enough to give this world the detail it deserves
Nintendo has now published a special anniversary video celebrating 25 years of Monolith Soft. The developer has also opened a special 25th anniversary webpage featuring multiple commemorative wallpapers as well as a special message from Representative Director Hirohide Sugiura.
I've got about 1500 hours into all 4 Xenoblade games. It's now tied with Zelda as my favorite series. We need a Xenoblade Warriors game.
Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top
I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.
I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.
Can't wait to try it out. Never had a Wii, this is one game I wanted to try, now I can. :D
I'm getting it due to the convenience that having it on the go represents.
No more having to boot up my Wii and pulling out my wiimote+nunchaku to play it, and the 3D effect should be awesome in certain areas...
