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."
Xenoblade Chronicles composer Kenji Hiramatsu reflects on his work and feels that it's "time for a fresh start."
Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.
I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!
Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.
Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
Some of the best Switch JRPG games out there include the epic Xenoblade Chronicles to the hard-as-nails Dark Souls Remastered.
Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.
I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.
Xenoblade Chronicles!
