Forums - Nintendo - Xenoblade (port?) _exclusive_ for new 3ds (no "old" 3ds)

I think this is a brilliant way to garner more attention for Xenoblade Chronicles X. The original sold far fewer copies in Japan than America, but now hopefully some of the audience that purchase the 3DS version will become interested in the new Wii U game.

Who will buy a whole new system to replay the very same game srly?

HD remake would have been waaaaaaaaaaaaay more interesting.



I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW.

I don't typically buy the same game twice, hell I don't think I ever have. BUT THIS MEANS I CAN PLAY XENOBLADE ANYWHERE I WANT.

NINTENDO HOW DO YOU DO THIS TO ME



YESSS I'M SO PUMPED



I am surprised by how many lurkers are on this site ^_^

Is there any reason you are saying it is exclusive to the new 3ds other than it was announced at the same time? Seems like a terrible move by nintendo to make a game for a system that the majority of its installed base cant play...



Seriously ? Making this exclusive to the new 3DS ?
I'm not buying a new system just for this, I bought my 3DS XL like 6 months ago...

Not cool, Nintendo. NOT COOL.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Xenoblade Chronicles Remake Announced For New Nintendo 3DS

By Sato . August 29, 2014 . 4:36am

In this morning’s Nintendo 3DS Direct, Nintendo announced their latest model of the 3DS series with the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, that has improved features including a more powerful CPU from its predecessor.

 

During the stream, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that a remake of Xenoblade Chronicles is currently in the works and will be released for the New Nintendo 3DS models.

 

The remake is something they’ve previously wanted to do for the Nintendo 3DS, but were not able to due to its lack of CPU power, but now that it’s getting a boost with the newer version, it has been made possible.

 

Satoru Iwata also mentioned that several other titles are in development exclusively for the New Nintendo 3DS. These will not be playable on the old 3DS models.

Seriously...

I have to say I'm pretty gutted... I bought my 3DS like 6 months ago...



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

So they have the technology to port home console games to 3DS.

Let's hope they discover the inverted technology. Some day.
