Like the original Xenoblade, this game seems almost TOO huge, especially with the amount of menus to navigate. Ideal for late teens and early twenty somethings with a lot of free time, but not so much for dads with young kids.

 

[Omnicent]

OH SHIT does that say APRIL?

For japan

 

[PhaZZe]

Xenoblade Special Sountrack !!!

 

[The Red Wizard]

Did he just say that you can download it six days early?

 

[Maintenance]

Pre load, nice.

 

[Koppai]

Nice looking game

 

[SUPERJEM94]

I think it was mentioning that you could play it like a week early by digital. I'm probably wrong though lol

 

[Neo Dark]

Is he telling us to move to Japan so we can play the game early in April? I'm pretty sure that's what he's saying. And the rest of our countries suck and they have cookies shaped like CDs

 

[RPGCrazied]

Its over?

 

[Litri]

I can't take this anymore, this was probably the most comprehensive stream made by Nintendo so far. Shame it was in Japanese.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I NEED MORE!

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

That's the release date in Japan.

OH SHIT. DAYUM. Was this known?

 

[Renewed]

I still miss the music from Xenoblade. I really hope Sawano can wow me because it's been meh so far.

 

[T.O.P]

In my veins, this looks amazing

 

[foxuzamaki]

Well im quite glad i got up for that, sufficiently hyped.

 

[Yabberwocky]

If Retro isn't given the next Metroid game, can Monolith Soft make it? I can't get over the creature design. Breathtaking - and a little bit terrifying!

Damn, no new 3DS XL design.

Meh, I know dads with young kids that play WoW. You just play at a slower rate. Makes the game last longer anyways.

 

[glaurung]

29th of April for Japan.

September for EU I suppose.

the video is up for those who missed it.

 

[CHC]

Goddamn the first game really needs the Wii U treatment. Seeing it on 3DS at the end was kind of sad, it looks abysmal.

 

[anaron]

God, this is one of the most beautiful looking games ever. The art direction is something else

 

[Phamit]

OH SHIT. DAYUM. Was this known?

yes

 

[Ricker]

I was going to stop watching because it was getting spoilery but now it's over

Yeah,I was thinking the same thing lol...pretty nice presentation though.

 

[rockman zx]

April for Japan, +6 months for the west at best.

 

[Litri]

...I need moar!!!!

 

[sinxtanx]

Damnit, I only caught the end

come on reupload

 

[Dinda]

It's so beautiful... I hope they don't need too long for the localization.

 

[GDGF]

Holy shit that was more than worth it. The game looks amazing. Somebody subtitle this thing!

 

[Portugeezer]

This game is FUCKING insane... it's almost too much... almost.

 

[IntelliHeath]

If Retro isn't given the next Metroid game, can Monolith Soft make it? I can't get over the creature design. Breathtaking - and a little bit terrifying!

Damn, no new 3DS XL design.

Do you really want big eyed Samus?

 

[random25]

That was a nice show. Love what I saw so far. So excited!

I like that some monsters will pop out of nowhere to attack you. Reminds me of those spiders in Xenoblade lol.

 

[Omnicent]

OH SHIT. DAYUM. Was this known?

Last Direct (or was it the one before that?) had the JP release date announced

 

[Altima]

No combat gameplay again.

I start to think that combat part will be a disappointment.

 

[Kandinsky]

The wait for this game is going to be so hard, especially since we will have full plays on youtube by the time in comes out over here D:

 

[Orakio Rob]

I can't believe what I just saw. This is too awesome to be true.

 

[Kouriozan]

Really like Xenoblade X's fauna too, those creatures looked amazing.

the video is up for those who missed it.

thanks, missed tha beginning

 

[RPGCrazied]

I thought this was going to be like an hour long. Oh well. Day 1 anyway. Its everything I want in a RPG.

 

[wrowa]

Seem like they are afraid to show combat system.

Why would they show the combat system in a presentation focused on "field overview"?

 

[El Odio]

God damn that was worth getting up early. I can't wait to start exploring that world.

Spoiler

you know, when we finally get a WW release date

 

[walnuts]

I didn't understand nothing of what they said, but I think the video was clear enough to get how the gameplay is even if you have no idea of Japanese.

I liked what I saw, and the environment is fucking beautiful!!

Now we need an approximate launch date for the west.

 

[Hybrid897]

All the monster designs look amazing.

Can't wait for a date for us, gonna need a couple of weeks off if they're serious about that 300hr number lol

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Like the original Xenoblade, this game seems almost TOO huge, especially with the amount of menus to navigate. Ideal for late teens and early twenty somethings with a lot of free time, but not so much for dads with young kids.

I feel you

I am still hyped for it though.

 

[Alucard]

Meh, I know dads with young kids that play WoW. You just play at a slower rate. Makes the game last longer anyways.

Fair enough. This seems like a game that could destroy relationships and end marriages, friend.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

was it the stream or does animations seem to need 10 more frames or something
not smooth at all

beyond that WOW that world

 

[blitzwolf215]

OH SHIT. DAYUM. Was this known?

Since the last Nintendo Direct.

 

[raven777]

Seem like they are afraid to show combat system.

they said they will talk about combat next.

 

[Hypron]

God, this is one of the most beautiful looking games ever. The art direction is something else

Which makes it even more baffling that the characters look so bad D:

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Really looking forward to this, I have no doubt it will very good. But damn that original Xenoblade music and those great characters in action from that snippet of 3ds footage. The new one just doesn't seem as - I dunno - special as Xenoblade Chronicles.

Hopefully that changes once I play the new one.

 

[Neo Dark]

Do you really want big eyed Samus?

I tell ya. Big eye characters can be very attractive and popular. Look at Elsa. Monolith going to save the Wii U with big eyed characters
