FUCK YES

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

Honestly I think this could have really helped the WiiU more, especially with X coming out. I'll just stick to the dolphin version. My god though, this could have been stunning as a WiiU remake....

I don't like this one bit, Nintendo giving a middle finger to current 3DS owners who want xenoblade

Lol you guys are being suchl entitled gamers. If XBC couldnt run on 3DS then its not coming to 3DS and never would have. However a new model of the 3DS can run itso its being made for it. If you dont want to upgrade then deal with the fact that you arent playing it. Others who want to upgrade shouldnt have to miss out on stuff like this because you are being entitled.

In the U.S., no one knew it existed. I'm pissed I only heard about it when looking up Wii JRPGs after a craving, but it was like $300.

You are happy that you get to throw down some more money to buy a new 3ds?  

For me, it is awesome that they are making xenoblade for the handheld, however I am freaking ticked that it is exclusive to the new model.  I just barely got my 3ds last year and it is already obsolete?

That's bull and you know it. We're not pc gamers. A console, handheld or not is supposed to run all the games released for it.

Sounds like Nintendo created a new 3DS so that they can port Wii titles to the system.

I know porting old games is hot these days but releases a whole system for it?

Same, I personnally don't understand how such an anti-consumer move would make anyone happy, except if you haven't bought a 3DS, of course...
Well done once again Nintendo.

I am certain this is not playable on the older 3DS, because I am a native Japanese speaker.
