To emphasize a bit more how the game looks on Dolphin.

"To emphasize a bit more how the game looks on Dolphin."

Those are wonderfull.
This game is ment to be played on PC via dolphin imo.
If you havnt played this game yet, and you have a decentish pc, this is the way to go about it.

If youve never played it before, and your getting it on the 3DS.... man your cheating yourself of a better experiance.



Obviously an emulator on the PC is going to make the game look better, that's going to happen for pretty much every console. However, I would still prefer playing it on an original Wii.



I always felt like Xenoblade looked great from afar...
Close up, however, it really showed the Wii's age...
I would play this game everyday if I could, but a full time job and family obligations make that impossible...
The N3DS release was a godsend (or something less dramatic)...



Have a nice day...

Just wait until they inevitably release Xenoblade Chronicles HD on the NX. It'll look awesome.

The 3DS version is just as good as the Wii version. I got them both. I havent reached the final stages of the game on the 3DS though, where the Wii version would slow down to crawl to see how the 3DS performs.

Regrading framerate, Digital Foundry's analysis of the early areas of the game suggests the 3DS version doesn't run quite as smooth as the Wii version.

Also, while I have not played it on 3DS myself, I can't imagine a small screen being as conducive to the game's signature sense of scale.



Man, I wish NoA stop being a meanie and release on VC.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yes please! it's already available in Europe so why haven't they release it here?



                                                                                     

Wow, I'm surprised to see that big of a difference. But that's probably due to the nature of the game (huge open world versus the fact that 3DS's CPU is much weaker than Wiis) + the low res N/3DS screen. I don't know what Nintendo was thinking when they originally decided to go for a 240p screen back in 2011... it should be at the very least 360p or something. :S



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You should start "Operation Virtual Rainfall".
