The hell is this?
I need to buy 3DS XL? Fuck you Nintendo.

You can only play this on New 3DS or New 3DS LL.

 

[cws]

well this is a piss off

NO way in hell the current 3DS could run Xenoblade

 

[Volotaire]

GIGATON

 

[Soulflarz]

*hypehypehypehypehype*

 

[jj984jj]

So it is exclusive? Will this be the first exclusive of more to come?

 

[Gianni Merryman]

I guess this may not come come outside of Japan.

 

[Venfayth]

Man, I thought it looked bad enough at 480p lol

I'm sure they'll make graphical changes to accomodate the 3DS screen, but damn, this was unexpected.

 

[glaurung]

Holy shit.

I need to reassess my plan to buy a solid white 3DS XL. It's been on ice ever since I missed the option to get Bravely Default. And the demo version's 3D made my eyes water.

I hope this get localized post-haste.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Wtf !!!!

 

[Maebe]

um what

 

[DeuceGamer]

Wanted an up port but complain and I'm sure I'll get it and a new 3DS.

 

[pixlexic]

So the new 3d is a Gameboy color then? That's cool.

[Philippo]

Monolith confirmed as a Xenoblade-only developer from now on?

Spoiler

/jk

Is this what they've been working for a while? I hope no

 

[Kouriozan]

You wanted Xenoblade HD?

Here, take Xenoblade Super LD.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Pretty shady that they are separating the 3DS market like this.

Did they ever do a similar thing with the DS/DSi?

 

[Garou]

Exclusive for NEW 3DS!

 

[Diablos54]

True. Not for 3DS though, but for *New* 3DS

Well if I was gonna get a 3DS again, it would be the 'New' one so that's fine! Looks a bit ugly though, need to see it in motion! But still, portable Xenoblade...

 

[RurouniZel]

It's announced for NEW 3DS.

NOT OG 3DS.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Nintendo publisher ?

I guess they can reuse translations ? Shulk being in Smash can be a good indicator the game will come oversees, to boot new 3DS sales.

 

[KiraFA37]

Oh it's a port and requires the new 3DS. Well, I'm getting the new small model 3DS anyway, so it works for me.

I have the Wii version but since I sold my Wii and moved on I never played it extensively, even though I have a Wii U. Maybe this will motivate me

Ofcourse this won't confuse the user base by calling it new 3DS. Do want but I don't want to buy a new DS for this. Waiting for the inevitable DS4 U or 3DS2.

 

[Rosur]

The hell is this?
I need to buy 3DS XL? Fuck you Nintendo.

XL is not the new one but the LL

 

[JoJoSono]

Exclusive to the New 3DS only due to its increased CPU.

That is bullshit. Fuck you Nintendo.

 

[Ansatz]

Exclusive to New 3DS because it uses the new CPU? What is even the point, this would be the perfect way to market the sequel coming out to Wii U by reaching out to the current 3DS userbase. Now this title is just pointless.

 

[Kresnik258]

This makes me so glad I have held off on buying a 3DS until now!

 

[GrantDaNasty]

So, I'm sure plenty of people will find this super-awesome, cause having a big open-world RPG like that on a handheld seems very nifty, but here's a question: if you already own a 3DS, are you going to get another since they're saying you're SOL for games that demand more juice? Just a curiousity I need to answer.

 

[Misterinenja]

Nice I'll finally ge..

Exclusive for NEW 3DS!

Ok no.

 

[-Horizon-]

That open world on the go...
/dies

 

[synce]

Pretty shady that they are separating the 3DS market like this.

Did they ever do a similar thing with the DS/DSi?

Yeah there were DSi-only games, this is kinda like that.

 

[Percy]

Hard to get excited about a downport, but this should prove an interesting experiment in how the 3DS handles such a large scale game if nothing else. I'm interested at the very least.

A Wii U version is what I was hoping for though tbh.

Edit: Oh wait, it can only be played on that shitty looking new 3DS? Well that sucks.

 

[Yukiari]

So if this comes to the US will I need to pick up a new 3ds xl or will the one I have work?

 

[Aveyn Knight]

Wanted Wii U version, but this is the next best thing.

Sooooo getting this : D

 

[Garou]

That is bullshit. Fuck you Nintendo.

Well you can have it like this or not at all.

 

[massoluk]

What magic is this? That entire world in my hand?
fuck me.

 

[JCX]

Holy crap, really? I hope there is a way to transfer my Wii save via SD.

I guess Guar Plains in Smash is the closest we'll come to an official HD remake.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Pretty shady that they are separating the 3DS market like this.

Did they ever do a similar thing with the DS/DSi?

Yes, there are a very small number of games that require the DSi.

 

[moolamb]

This blew my mind. The opening Smash tease and actual gameplay on 3DS... This was a mighty direct alright.

I don't know how you're gonna see shit at that resolution/screen though but it makes me happy that a whole lot of people are going to be introduced to Xenoblade!!!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Exclusive to the New 3DS only due to its increased CPU.

It begins.

 

[mclem]

So... some of those vistas... in 3D.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

is this real life?

 

[DistortionOfReality]

you guys.


YOU GUYS

 

[T.O.P]

WAT

 

[Sylverstone14]

Thank goodness I waited to upgrade my launch 3DS.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I bet original 3ds owners are salty.

 

[Jiraiya]

Exclusive to the New 3DS only due to its increased CPU.

This is some BS right here.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Dang. Exclusive to the new 3DS? That's....kinda dumb. If it's for CPU reasons then I can see it.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I'll go lie down.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Pretty shady that they are separating the 3DS market like this.

Did they ever do a similar thing with the DS/DSi?

Yes, they did, some games cannot run on Phat DS.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Exclusive to the New 3DS only due to its increased CPU.

Wait, what?
So there will be two "classes" of 3DS users now?

 

[Forsythia]

That is pretty fucking awesome!
