I don't like the darker tone and color palette. I much prefer the more whimsical look of Xenoblade. But I have to admit I would definitely pay $59 for this, regardless of the minor qualms/ nitpickiness I have with it

I just gotta re-post this, because it says it all. Great graphics for sure, but I like the colors from Xenoblade. Made the world seem so vivid! But this is a must buy, hands down!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

To those saying graphics like this have been done on current gen consoles, I just don't see it. There are several shots where the draw distance + detail on the distant cliff faces + polygon count of the entirity of the terrain is very high. We know there's a much better, more efficient & modern GPU in there, plus a lot more RAM available for the game than last gen, so it makes sense that it could render more dense environments with greater draw distances, textures, lighting, and polygon counts in properly coded games. Also keep in mind these great results are in an early dev version!

^ Yup. I mean Halo 4 and Last of Us look great, but even with such low quality video, X just seems amazing.


What's scary is that these are just the first gen (the real one no ports) games for the Wii U.  I am so excited for next-gen gaming for ALL next-gen systems (720,PS4 and Wii U).  I am still happy with my 360 though so I probably won't jump on the 720 right away.

That`s true.
This is the first game to actually show what Wii U can really do and it looks great. Of course, with time, like any other console, things will get even better.
And if Xbox 720 and PS4 are even better, the same rules will apply.

I'm making sure that X gets the sales it deserves. Lending out my copy of Xenoblade for a while now. (Though some just choose to pirate).

This game will deserve it, and I shall do my part to spread the word, not just in te forums, but to a lot of people.

I can't wait for this game hopefully we get it by the end of this year.....A man can dream.


Maybe in Japan. Though it seems localization is already being worked on, so I can't imagine it taking that long to release here. I'd say late 2013/Spring 2014 release in Japan and Spring/Summer 2014 over here unless they pull off some magic to get a simultaneous WW release. Still a ways out...

Yea you're probably right. I remember tetsuya saying that xenoblade was a test run for what they really had planned so this could be huge and it looks so.

So... is this Wii U's first "WOW" game? I say so.


Have you ever played Xenoblade?

Given how large the game's world is possibly going to be (could be the biggest on consoles going by Xenoblade) and the amount of content Monolith go for I'm pretty sure the colour palette will be just as diverse or even more so.

Yeah, I agree especially when I am expecting the 720 or PS4 to be more powerful than the Wii U (about 2-2.5x more powerful my expectations) that next gen consoles are gonna be competitive despite the challenges it faces against upstarts like Steambox, Ouya, Shield, and so called Smart Devices in general.
