Nuvendil said: Well, intrinsically, I would say it does have the potential for wide mainstream appeal beyond current Wii U owners. It's a scifi, open world RPG. Even the combat is similar to games that are popular in the west. The weakness is lack fo brand power; the IP is too young. So yes, it lacks the power. Holiday title is more likely to be Star Fox for the brand recognition. Unless they have something else. |
I think Star Fox or Animal Crossing will be the big holiday title this year.
I really can't imagine Nintendo would put that kind of pressure on an IP like Xenoblade just yet. Far more likely that they will make it a summer/fall release.
