Just announced via Twitter: apparently, there's going to be a special livestream for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on March 28th.

Here's the link: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv214359592

From the looks of it, no account is needed.

Several people will be there, including Tetsuya Takahashi and Genki Yokota, as well as John Kaminari.

Gonna watch this.

Nintendo pls. Give us a direct, not a JP livestream of one game.

Please understand.

Looking good. Might pick this up since I keep putting off buying a Wii version at that price point.

 

[JulienP1985]

Is it a little weird that this video will be boadcast a Saturday ?
Is it because we will have a "global direct" Wednesday ?
Well, time will tell...

 

[L~A]

This is going to be a 1h-long (if not more) livestream, so they want as many people to watch it. Don't think there's any need to read too much into the date of this stream.

They won't make a whole direct on an old game and they're probably want to save some stuff for E3 too.

 

[Hatchtag]

Nintendo pls. Give us a direct, not a JP livestream of one game.

The Xenoblade livestreams seem independent enough from the direct schedule that I wouldn't be worried. They won't be at the same time, but other than that, I doubt they'll affect eachother much.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can't wait

 

[Maintenance]

Now that I have a N3DS I might get this, since I can't find the Wii version anywhere here where I live.

 

[The Giant]

Nintendo pls. Give us a direct, not a JP livestream of one game.

Next week, given all the hints.

 

[evanmisha]

The Iwata Asks got me pretty hyped for this. Hope to see some fresh insight on the game and not just an extended introduction for newcomers

I hope you know this will be in Japanese, though?

Indeed I do.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I almost forgot about this. Bumping for people with equally poor memory ;//

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll watch but won't be happy

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

It's open.

 

[L~A]

[The Elite]

[vareon]

[Gambit]

ON THE GO!

I wish I had a counter-argument, but I think you've convinced me.

 

[kuroneko0509]

dat setup

Is there a way to restart the broadcast or do you have to wait for it to be over. Completely missed the orchestra bit.

The bionis/mechonis model looks a lot bigger than I thought it was.

have to wait until it ended, assuming you have premium account (very rarely normal account can rewatch housou)

Doubt we'll get something in the same style of Xenoblade's title, knowing Sawano. Doesn't mean it's going to be bad, though. And "beautiful" isn't a word I'd use to describe them. But enough derail! It's Xenoblade 3D and will be my first proper experience with the game!

I wouldn't worry there's probably someone somewhere recording this to translate... maybe

You''ll have to wait.

 

[Rebel Leader]

You''ll have to wait.

Aww man.

 

[L~A]

Is the music weird for anyone else?

 

[cptodin]

Looks great. Seems to flicker, though but that might as well be due to the capturing?!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

So jelly

 

[The Elite]

The sense of scale is there.

 

[L~A]

Loving that rain.

 

[L~A]

What a fishy level 77 unique monster

 

[Fandangox]

So jelly

Someday.

 

[kuroneko0509]

yay another one

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yay more music.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Shame about the quality :/

 

[Smiles and Cries]

were they playing music all this time?

missed it

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Shame about the quality :/

Who got dat premium?

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Who got dat premium?

I have premium. The quality is terrible.

 

[LayLa]

lol did they just reference "it's Reyn time" in English

 

[pinkurocket]

Interestingly enough this is happening while Sarah Alainn is live on a jpn radio stream I'm watching right now. She sang the Xenoblade ending theme and they even mentioned it a few times. c:

 

[L~A]

Ok, managed to get OpenBroadcast working, gonna record the next song then I'll wait for timeshift to record the other songs.
