So GOTY 2015 confirmed, BTW the G in GOTY in this case also stands for godlike... then again Monolith Soft are beyond Gods in the world of video game development. Literally...beyond....Gods

Starbucks_Fan3473d ago

Little early to say GOTY for next year haha. Looks great though.

trywizardo3473d ago

with halo 5 , uncharted 4 and quantum break on the horizon , i think its gonna be a hard competition .
but i gotta say this game looks really awesome

Locknuts3473d ago

Next year is going to be absolutely insane for gamers. Nobody could name a game at this point and say it'll be the best game next year. I'll be getting this one though for sure.

3-4-53473d ago

Get to play the first one on New 3DS, and follow it with this game.

Can't wait.

Never played it for wii.

Magicite3473d ago

So, its not confirmed 2015 release?

Neonridr3472d ago

No, just targeting 2015. So expect it holiday 2015 at the earliest.

bouzebbal3473d ago

most sensless post i've read in a long time.

OT: I WANT THIS GAME!

Overall good direct, but 5 bucks for the pikmin short film is BS.

Metallox3473d ago

There's something called Dailymotion, expect to see them tomorrow. Although I'm going to pay for them, I thought they had some functionality with Miiverse? So it's not just the 30 minute film, I think it's a good value.

herbs3473d ago

Completely agree those short films should be free for all Wii U owners or at least Pikmen 3 owners.

deafdani3473d ago (Edited 3473d ago )

Those short films cost them money to make. Why exactly should they give them away for free?

:/

Cant Wait, Wii U's next year line up is going to be strong

Dunban673472d ago

Next year or 2016- both Xenoblade nd Zelda could slip to 2016

deafdani3472d ago

I have a feeling Zelda U will be the one to slip to 2016, but Xenoblade will remain a 2015 title, although probably late in the year. It has already been delayed a year, because it was originally slated to release on 2014, and it's been in development longer than Zelda U, I believe.

mysteryraz113473d ago

seen better looking ps3 games look how low detailed the environment is, I am sure it will be fun though but still

Qrphe3473d ago

It's looks slightly better than the first two FFXIII games but this game has A LOT more going on on screen. Who cares about the graphics anyway

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3473d ago (Edited 3473d ago )

5x the scale of xenoblade
bigger open world than all ps3 game
has a lot of stuff rendering at the same time

3/4 of ps3 aren't open world

Big_Game_Hunters3473d ago

Name em, and please say something that makes sense, we all know a 7 hour linear game will look better than an open world RPG.

thezeldadoth3473d ago

do you realize how huge even the first xenoblade chronicles was? Massive. Skyrim's size is a tiny fraction. The landscape changed dramatically between areas and so did the awesome soundtrack. The combat system is near perfect. These graphics are awesome, but thats not the point.

herbs3473d ago

Myseryeyes>< You need to go see an eye doctor maybe a brain surgeon. Not many games out there that have enemy's as tall a skyscrapers just roaming around in an open world environment with this amount of detail. I think these visuals are easily on par with what PS4 Xone have to offer. I game on a PC that runs most games at 1080p 60fps with Ultra settings a significant boost over what next gen consoles offer and I'm blown away with this game. It is simply amazing what Monolith is able to achieve with the Wii U hardware and if you disagree with that statement you are either blinded by your fanboyism or just strait up have some screws loose.

tee_bag2423473d ago

That's what a fanboy would say. Wait.. 1 bubble. Certified clown no one takes seriously

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64326d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg326d ago (Edited 326d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64325d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64326d ago (Edited 326d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble326d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999326d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble326d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment326d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai326d ago (Edited 326d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic325d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Operation Rainfall: 10 Years On

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212763d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop764d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212764d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07805d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad805d ago (Edited 805d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07805d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad805d ago (Edited 805d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212805d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX804d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX804d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
