The rest, I agree with entirely. I bought the XL right as they came out as I had never picked up a 3DS to begin with and had still been running on my DS/Vita. I ultimately sank the Vita on Ebay and got the 3DS XL from Ebay. I think Xenoblade (and hopefully Pandora's Tower) is being ported up like this because it was a definitive lost gem on the Wii due to the time of its release at the end of the generation, its limited supply and near 100% sell-through when finally released in the states, and the general hype that surrounds it and the upcoming sequel. It makes sense for all the right reasons to see this game ported. Others, though, like SMG1/2 or the Prime trilogy were and are not in the same boat as Xenoblade, they had their time in the sun on better times for the Wii. |
You're right about SMG, but Prime Trilogy was criminally undershipped. It's extremely rare and at least as expensive as Xenoblade. It's a great candidate for a 3DS or Wii U remake.
I think the XL is also sold for about 18,000¥ though, yet it is sold for $200 in America. So I would expect the New XL to also cost $200. If they do cut it to $180 that would be amazing.
