GP: "Let's face it, Nintendo didn't exactly have the best year in 2011. Aside from the unveiling of a new console, releasing the 3DS, and coming out with a few great games here and there, the Big N also had a few problems that made some people wonder if it was time to pull a Sega and call it quits in the 1st-party market. But even though they had a bit of a stock market bump, a little trouble getting the 3DS off the ground, and only released a fraction of the quality games the competition had, it'll take a whole lot more to stop those guys.
And now, with the new year finally upon us, it's time for Nintendo to make their big New Year's resolution. So what do they have in store for us? What are their plans to resolve the somewhat mediocre year they had in 2011? With a few big names planned for the Wii's last few breaths, the release of the Wii's successor - the Wii U, and a continuation of the amazing line-up the 3DS began to see toward the end of last year, the Big N doesn't plan on playing around this year. Well...other than playing their games, that is."
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.
Xenoblade Chronicles!
