The 3DS native resolution is low. (There have been no indications that the New 3DS has a resolution increase.)
autostereoscopic (3D) LCD @ 800 × 240 px (400 × 240 WQVGA per eye)
$100 for Xenoblade? I can walk into a Gamestop here and get one for like $50.

No one said you had to buy it completely new, there's like new copies on ebay and amazon, hell even gamestop for $50 or so, same goes for buying a Wii to play things on, except you can get that for quite a bit less used and still get a decent quality one. You have the option to get these things used for much less than they are new, that option will not be there for a new 3ds or 3ds Xenoblade, best you'll get for a while is 5-10% off the new price, which is still quite a bit more than buying the other 2 things I mentioned used.
It's probably cheaper to import it from Europe, including shipping. Don't spend a bill on it.

Do we know of any extras this port will have, or is it just the same game but in my pocket?

Ya you get "extra" low quality, guess you could say it's the same game though even with that.

Yep. $50 at GameStop and they mark it as used, so if you're a member you also get the discount on that

The idea of a portable Xenoblade is cool and all but doesn't make me want to buy it or a new 3ds simply because the resolution is unbelievably crappy. Xenoblade already looked compressed on the Wii and now it looks even worse, I just don't understand why they decided this would be better. Should've waited for the successor that'll hopefully have a better resolution (even if it's low resolution is the only way the new 3ds can play it)

No harshness necessary, I'm just curious. DKCR had that extra world added to it when it was moved to the 3DS, wondering if the same sort of deal applied here.
If it's the same, I'll stick with the Wii version

As if I needed another reason to play my favorite game again
In for New3DS and Xenoblade3DS
They should port it to WiiU too so I can buy it a third time

Has anyone even said this was a retail game? This could easily be a one-off new 3DS kind of game.
right, I'm sure that this (you can clearly see the hardware improvements in this "new" 3DS!)
will become something very beautiful. just have to believe in the pre-release Nintendo's magic, yes?
Lol.

Or you can look at history, but I guess you already made up your mind.

Point is it will lead to more games that may potentially be exclusive to this revision.
It's funny how you are comparing the 3ds which was released in 2011 to this revision which will first be released in 2014 to the game boy which was released in 1989 to the GB color which was released about almost 8 years later.
Can't believe people are defending this grimy cash grab - it's as bad as Nintendo reducing the price of the 3ds in its first year.
Thank goodness that footage is from the final version of the game. It must be right around the corner now!right, I'm sure that this (you can clearly see the hardware improvements in this "new" 3DS!)

Lol.
At this point though, we're only dealing in hypotheticals about the rest of the market. I don't think we'll see a ton of New 3DS exclusive titles at all, especially when you look at third parties. It doesn't make sense for them to close off exclusivity at all, and likely will only make "enhanced" versions that work on both systems.
You can just pick up a copy from Gamestop for like $50 and they're basically brand new
ok boys, keep living the dream.
don't be too disappointed when the game will look exactly the same when it's actually out. I'm sure that by then you'll find some more excuses.

The feel of 240p. ;-)
Perhaps they just begun with their work on Xenoblade Chronicles for 3DS.

Or play it on the go with an Nvidia shield+internet connection. For $50.
That sounds more like a five finger discount than a legitimate price.

I can't play games like Xenoblade on consoles because I get bored, but on handheld it would be awesome to open and close the system and just play small bits.
In going to upgrade anyway, so I'm in for Xenoblade 3ds, assuming it isn't too dumbed down or anything like that.

I kind of refuse to believe Nintendo would release a game with that awful framerate.
Yeesh, this thread.
Anyway, if people want a New 3DS and they've never played Xenoblade, this is a no-brainer. I mean this version will be a few steps back on the graphical side, but man when the game finally hits the shelves it will look better than today's footage. And afterwards we'll be discussing how in the hell those Monolith magicians crammed this beast of a game on a 3DS gamecard.

come on lol
I'm not expecting a miracle but the final version is at least guaranteed to look better than it does right now.
happened to Hyrule Warriors, for instance. don't be so quick to assume one extreme, there's always the middle.
Wouldn't the last major one have been Wii Motion Plus?
This would be the first one for a handheld, unless the cameras added to DSi and PSP3000 count. Then would Kinect count too?

Yeah Nintendo's recent track record with 3ds and Wii U games have been wonderful. Zelda LBTW and Mario Kart 8 come to mind.
3DS screens and videos always look like garbage on the internet. Much better when you get it in front of you.
The framerate is the larger concern for me. Yikes.
But being the weaker, cheaper hardware has won them every single handheld generation.

The GBA and DS weren't that bad for hardware at their price point in 2001 and 2004.

I remember when people were clammoring about how games like SM3DWorld, Wonderful 101, Hyrule Warriors, etc. looked like shit during their reveal trailers. Then when the games actually released "Omg this doesn't look anything like the reveal!" No shit.
Case in point.
