Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 re-confirmed for this year by Nintendo

Naum on 27 April 2017

I'm amlost as hyped for this game as I was for BotW.
Xenoblade Chronicles was that good.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

It's not unreasonable for this game to release in late 2017. Development on Xenoblade X wrapped up just over two years ago, and one of the reasons X took so long was because Monolith Soft (like every other Nintendo studio) needed to catch up with the demands of high definition development, to create new tools, engines and procedures for HD development. Monolith Soft also needed help from Nintendo to implement the various online features that found their way into X. It might be the case this game is closer to the original Chronicles, and more of a linear, story-based game set in a vast world.

The leap from Wii U to Switch is nowhere near as significant as the technological leap from Wii to Wii U, and I would guess Monolith Soft are re-using a lot of the tools and the game engine they created for X. That has likely (literally) saved them years of work, so turning out a new game in two and a half years isn't as mad as it seems.

Feels like it's getting made so quickly...

Here's hoping the end result won't feel like a rushed product.

 You are talking about Nintendo.

That would be great since Super Mario Odyssey is the only other game I'm really looking forward to on the Switch this year.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
