New Releases: April 1st – 7th 2012, Xenoblade Chronicles

The biggest highlight of the week is easily Xenoblade Chronicles. We are playing through it right now (expect a full review very soon) and the game is likely to become our Wii Game of the Year. Other than that, Kinect owners can get their hands on the Force and some PS2 classics are remastered in HD.

Xenoblade Chronicles finally coming to the U.S.

so excited :)

Relientk774411d ago

gahhh I still have to finish Skyward Sword

:-/ lol

TrendyGamers4411d ago

Not a bad problem to have! But Xenoblade is one of the best RPG's this generation.

Stinky_Fish4411d ago

it is wonderful, I have so many favs

Xof4411d ago

Same here. Looks fantastic. And then there's The Last Story coming in June. I love it when these top-tier RPGs pop out at the end of a console's lifespan. Things got crazy with the PS2, and you just know it's going to get crazy with the PS3 in 10 years time with Versus XIII.

@Relientk77: seriously? Thought I was the only one. There's just something about Zelda games: I just can't finish 'em. I guess it's because I don't want 'em to end. Just finished up the Ancient Cistern, myself.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj217d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan217d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack217d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj217d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing217d ago

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

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.

gleepot217d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.

But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
