NintendoLife: Our own Marcel van Duyn has reported disc read errors when attempting to load the game, despite the console only being newly replaced by Nintendo after the notorious Super Smash Bros. Brawl disc read error incidents. He reports that game still works, but has had no joy with Xenoblade Chronicles. Other readers have also reported similar errors.
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."
Is Xenoblade Chronicles on a DL disc? if so...that's what causing the read issue. The same thing happened with Metroid other M as it is on a DL disc. I think Nintendo should go with DVDs only.
Hm. I had assumed this was due to the region lock, based on the title. Given a little extra thought, though, it makes sense that a game that big would be on a double layer disc.
Xenoblade is apparently DL, probably because it has 2 voice overs (eng & jap). So if your wii can't read DL...
I remember when this problem started with SSBB. Luckily, my Wii did not encounter this problem.
Metroid Prime Trilogy is dual layer as well, isn't it?
Never had a problem with that.
