Damn, I read 'Xenoblade Chronicles X' in the title and I instantly came.

Still, glad that you're liking the game, it's awesome.

What do you think, for a person that hasn't played the game, is it better to play it on the Wii or get the N3DS version? I've never got to experience it, but sure want to change that this year. I want to finish this game before I get to play XCX

Xenoblade's plot is great. Yes it has conventions, but is the perfect example of being conventional in some aspects but not cliched. It's well executed and has a similar pace and sense of escalation as Chrono Trigger. Also, the plot is even more interesting if you take the time to understand the mythos that it is based on and the metaphorical/allegorical nature of the whole storyline.

Depends, do you want a slightly downscaled version to have on the go?

Can you get your hands on a Wii copy?

At this point I'm wondering which is the better experience. I think I can get hold of both versions of the game without issues. I know that at this point it would be much more convenient for me to get a handheld version, but I'm moving to my new flat soon and won't have issues with getting hold of my TV any more

I'm leaning toward the 3DS version because it is portable, but the Wii version does look better. 

As it stands there are a few bugs reported for the 3DS version, perhaps they'll get patched, but the Wii version is the best bet.

There is, however, an auto-attack bug in the Wii version, that makes so you don't get the full effect of auto attacks. This was fixed in the 3DS version, but I think the game functioned pretty well regardless of that bug. 

I got it for Wii back when but I couldn't get into it. I jumped on The Last Story, though. Anyway, my copy just arrived for 3DS and this time, I'm gonna give it my full attention.

Tried to download it a few days ago but damn it has to be the biggest download, ever! Didn't have enough card space after deleting a t on of games. Over 28,000 blocks (whatever a block is....). I just said to hell with it and went to Amazon.com. I'll start it tomorrow night.

So there is no clearly superior version? Wii looks better, but has bugs and no patches, while 3DS looks worse, has some other bugs and a chance of a patch... I guess so far Wii version is a slight leader for me. I hope the bug isn't really a big issue?

Not really. I didn't even notice it, and I played the game through twice and I'm in the middle of a third play through (about 250 hours total.) 

Awesome Thanks for the help! I think I'm gonna go with the Wii version. Already can't wait for the holidays, I plan to play Zelda: Skyward Sword and XC.
