So I was SO CLOSE to getting Xenoblade for the Wii, however with the New 3DS and Xenoblade 3D I might as well hold off until it eventually comes out, what do you guy think? I'm definitely getting the New 3DS without a doubt

You've already made your decision on the matter, and we don't know enough about the 3DS version to compare at this point; there isn't exactly much to discuss.

Not enough info but I'd say Wii version will be the best legal experience.

So will this game run on the original 3DS? I love my original cosmo black 3DS, and would hate to replace it, but I might have to for Xenoblade.

My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.

I'm going to assume the port will be a little worse than the Wii game (like Donkey Kong Country: Returns 3D was).

I'm personally getting the 3DS version though, since the original game is expensive.

Looking forward to: No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again

i would say the Wii version but that one its stupidly expensive

so if you want to get the new 3DS you might as well get that version of the game

I found a copy for €35.00. I wasn't looking for it, but since it was in a near perfect condition, I bought it anyway. I guess if you have to stumble across a reasonable priced copy of the game by luck, I'd imagine that eBay prices are crazy.

Don't think the PAL version is that expensive. (It is £40 from Cex or £50 with a Classic Controller Pro).

I'd say go with the Wii version. While it is wii graphics, I just don't think the massive landscapes will transition well to a small screen.

Also sound will probably be down graded on 3DS.

No man. all of the 3DS Improvements are not going to affect which games anyone can play. The new 3DS is more like the GBA SP and it fixes the consoles legacy issues.

I have the Wii version (still haven't played it) so I probably won't be getting the 3DS version, even if it comes to NA (unless the Wii version is so good it blows my mind hole)

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

I just looked on Amazon Canada's website and the game is $150 plus tax. I'd rather buy the 3DS version athough I wonder with the graphical upgrade will it mean that new 3DS console games will be 49.99 and up?

Want: Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneering Town, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury

Finished the Alola Dex.

Actually, they do offer exclusives.

If you really want the Wii version, your best bet is looking around in game stores that sell used games. They tend to have much better deals on rather expensive games like this.

I think it looks pretty bad, to be honest. I couldn't imagine playing 100 hours of Xenoblade on even my XL screen. Wii version is still king.

Not that Xenoblade looks bad, just it looks back on the lower resolution screens of the 3DS.
