KNF of RipTen: The recent developments with the fan movement to get Nintendo of America to localize Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower got me thinking. Nintendo of America has been especially selective on what games have been getting localized over the last few years.
Many people out there will be quick to say that Nintendo has been doing this for years and they are right. Mother 1 + 2, as well as Mother 3, were both games that had a large fan movement to beg Nintendo to localize these Japan only titles but as we know that never happened.
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.
Hopefully someday we can play some of these missing games. :(
Meh
WATS A NINTENDO?
it's so sad that still happens, you would think that in today's world we would have access to every title that sells
its a shame honestly hopefully a wii u release or maybe bundle them together to help sell them better :)
