Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors

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.

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.

jacksonmichael5053d ago

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.

tunaks15053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

Xenoblade is apparently DL, probably because it has 2 voice overs (eng & jap). So if your wii can't read DL...

SonyNGP5053d ago

I remember when this problem started with SSBB. Luckily, my Wii did not encounter this problem.

Neo Nugget5053d ago

Metroid Prime Trilogy is dual layer as well, isn't it?

Never had a problem with that.

I have bought every game no matter the system. Hopefully the Switch 2 is powerful enough to give this world the detail it deserves

Really looking forward to seeing what they have next

Vithar262d ago

my favorite series of all time now, Xc3 was top tier

Zeldafan64262d ago

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.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj635d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan635d ago (Edited 635d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog635d ago (Edited 635d ago )

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.

autobotdan635d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack635d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj635d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing635d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2
