Definitely! Although I'm not sure if restricting to New 3DS only puts it at even more of a disadvantage than before!

Ninty is banking on the popularity of xeno to sell the new 3ds model.
kind of a reversal of the situation of what happened with xeno on wii.

thank you- I worked hard on this to get through it fast Smilie

the size of xeno should keep ya busy till X comes.

The original Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii was never as much of a graphical powerhouse as some other Wii games, like the Super Mario Galaxy duo or even Metroid: Other M.
I have just noticed something here that I don't agree with. Other M? It had some okay lighting effects but it was a really bad looking game. Xenoblade was head and heels above it in terms of detail in the models, design and just about every graphical quality.
There again I just hate Other M with a passion.

Great review of Xenoblade though! I'm loving the game so far but I switched back to the wii version where the colours are more vibrant. It's a shame they didn't abandon the 3d aspect entirely and just focus on packing in as much detail as possible.

I own all the consoles, ask me anything

If people get over their hate of other m- they would notice it does have very strong and sleek visuals.

say what you want about other m- but you cannot deny team ninja's impeccable artistry.

hm... they are nice screenshots. The levels were just a bit bland. I don't hate it that much I just don't really like it. Story-wise it was a mess and it destroyed Samus as a character and gameplay-wise the controls were just messy.
