I'm willing to bet Nintendo isn't going to release the 3DS Xenoblade outside of Japan. They barely released the Wii version in North America, after all.
Its not about smooth it is, but how slow it is. Looks like its running at 80% speed or something.
So basically, what was a 120 hour game before is now going to be a 150 hour game!
Uhhh what
It's a completely different scenario here.
Pokemon has always been a handheld IP. Anyone buying Gold and Silver knew that whatever sequel comes out will be on a handheld (Either that one or a future one but a handheld nonetheless).
This on the other hand is a downport of a Wii title with its sequel coming out on your main home console. If you don't own a WiiU and want to play the sequel you're being asked to
Buy a New 3DS
Buy Xenoblade 3DS
Buy a WiiU
Buy XCX
vs a HD remaster that would actually improve the game requiring the user if they don't own a WiiU to
Buy a WiiU
Buy Xenoblade HD
Buy XCX
One of those methods doesn't end up making the user have to buy 2 new systems.
I'm not. They seem to be pretty behind Xenoblade now as a brand.
So much content.

Why not? They may not be perfectly analogous, but the mobile world has left its mark upon traditional video games in many ways. Is it such a surprise that someone would take more powerful hardware revisions from the mobile playbook, too?
From where I stand.
No updated 3DS = no Xenoblade portable
Nobody gets to play it.
Update 3DS = Xenoblade portable
People get to play it.
I'm not sure what is wanted here? This never to have been announced? Is that really it? Or to attempt to cram it down from a new hardware platform that is already looking like it struggles on?

Surely that's not comparable, yes I bought my Sony Xperia Z, but I'm still getting the same Android updates and the same Android features as the Z2, a more parrallel would be games being latest Android exclusive, which is bullshit.
Was that the case when the 4S came out? What about the 5? 5S?
You're three hardware revisions behind. Revisions much larger than this one.

People want to play all 3DS game on their 3DS, I know, a crazy concept.

This is very plausible. FYI a few developers have said the 3DS is just too slow for certain kinds of emulation. Farsight canceled Pinball Arcade for 3DS because it couldn't run their emulator for pinball machine logic boards.
I suspect lack of power is why there is no SNES VC on the 3DS. And it probably can't run a true GBA emulator which is why the ambassador games are stuck running in a special mode that locks out 3DS hardware.

Is someone going to subsidize my 3DS so I can buy one at a deeply discounted price every two years? Is Nintendo going to start offering a contract with their hardware? Sounds lovely.

so like $180 for the new 3ds LL. I'll probably wait for GameStop to offer some kind of trade in bonus for trading in old XLs towards the new one because I'm going to have no need for two 3DS

We don't know how much work it would be to localize... it depends on how much they had to redo from scratch to get it to work on the New 3DS. Whereas we know they can pretty easily reprint the Wii version, or do an HD remaster of it already fully localized.
I see. Much new, many novel.

I'd like it to, but I'm going to guess no, at least for the shared account part. GBA and SNES VC is more reasonable, and I'm sort of holding out hope for it, but I'm not really expecting much.
Even ridiculous slowness aside, it must be the largest, most ambitious handheld game of all-time, right?

Internet-rage is internet-rage. I'm thinking about the Simpson's episode where Grandpa was raging because of a cloud.
After all the Tomb Raider rage I hope that their was no rage left in the rage-meter for this year, but...
Because ppl didn't buy new phone just to use certain apps.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the 4th 3DS revision?

Great argument.
Maybe it's just that I'd like to be able to play 3DS games on my 3DS?
Thank you for making sense. Also nobody is saying that a Xenoblade HD is not going to happen.

They'd be really stupid to do that considering the translation work is already done and they need a way to get more people into the series before XCX comes out.

New Xenoblade? Meh.
New 3DS? What the hell is going on? I could have sworn that I looked a few days ago to see if there were any Directs coming up and there were none! Did they actually introduce the successor to 3DS out of nowhere?!

Yes. If they can't release the game in a way it could run in ALL 3DS models, then don't bother announcing it.

May I have a cookie?
you're kidding yourself if you think this won't be localized.
What work do they have to do?
Compress the existing English audio and UI?
What's wrong with you?

The Gameboy came out in 1989, Gameboy Color in 1998. The 3DS came out in 2011, this thing is coming in 2014. Do you see the difference?
Amazing news for someone who hasn't got 3DS like me. But I wonder why they don't hold it out for next DS (4DS, whatever) so they can do a proper remake.
Is it possible that, *gasp*, there will be no next handheld. It will be console-handheld hybrid like rumored. Next Nintendo handheld will run XenobladeX natively.
Getting this and New3DS anyway.

A hardware model that threatens to break forwards compatibility for software boggles my mind. And there are a lot of "Old" 3DS devices out there. It's kind of bonkers that those devices are basically damaged goods. Did this happen to 360 or PS3 revisions besides changes to storage space onboard?
I can't even... It's not that hard to comprehend.
It's not a 3DS game. It's a 'New 3DS' game.
It won't run on your 3DS. Your 3DS is old.
Just take a look at the frame rate. Imagine how ass it would run on your Old 3DS.
It's like if you wanted a PS3 game to run on your PS2.
It's not happening.

Old Xenoblade, new port. This direct was announced yesterday, I think, and was a japan exclusive. I think most people are just as surprised as you by this announcement. But yes, it happened.

You don't need to buy 2 systems. Because right now you can do the option below:
Buy a Wii U
Buy Xenoblade for Wii and play it on your Wii U.
Buy Xenoblade Chronicles X
