I wonder why the Wii U doesn't support dual-layered "proprietary" Blu-rays. Or does it?

To my understanding it could. However, Panasonic hasn't produced any multi-layered discs yet nor are they likely to do so given they costs more to produce and few games would ever take advantage of it. Previously, the largest Wii U game was 20 GB. So demand for dual layered Wii U optical discs is very low.

I see. Yeah, it is probably cheaper on Nintendo's end to just work within said limitations. I wonder how they'd add the Japanese audio though.

Not too surprising given the supposed 200 hours of content

No...did you say 200hrs? I'm sold, I need something on U that you can't beat in a day.

He was mistaken.

It's actually 300 hours.

Man, don't even joke around like that. I can't wait for this if it's true. Chronicles had so many good cutscenes and areas and it came up at around 60-70 hours. I simply have to have it.

They are also waaaaay smaller in content and world size.

HD cutscenes takes up so much space.

And they're kinda pointless really.

If it's anything like Xenoblade on Wii it will have a metric kiloton of VA dialogue, so that will account for a lot of its size before we even get to graphical assets.

Also, the soundtrack takes up 4 CDs: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/04/xenoblade_chronicles_xs_soundtrack_is_so_epic_it_needs_4_cds_to_contain_it

Xenoblade probably had about 150 hours worth of content. I did a lot of the side quests and got to about 110 hours.

So if you play the same way in XCX, you will probably get about 120 hours out of it. This is just speculation but still, it sounds like it will be about twice the length of Xenoblade.

Oh okay, I haven't completed the game yet. I'm just roughly basing it off How long to beat.com's stats. So 300 hours of content. That sounds about right then. Like with Level 5's rogue galaxy I beat in in like 30 hours but the back said 100 hours...I will always remember to take note of "content".
