Guys... Please don't get so wrapped up in sales. I know we all want the Wii U to be successful but I stopped caring that much when I saw news that garbage things were selling better than the Wii U and it's games. Advertising and hype has a huge hand in sales. Wii U is truly a Nintendo fan's machine. Only loyal Nintendo fans are getting XCX.

But the good thing about XCX is that big gaming websites are talking about XCX and people are saying its in a race for the best JRPG this year. XCX is facing the flashy and cool Persona 5 and the Jpop band with cool combat known as Final Fantasy XV.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

I tend to be of the impression that people buy the games they want to play. I don't see how loyalty to the console owner comes into it at all!

The fact that Amazon Italy changed Zelda to the typical December 31st placeholder date, yet XCX is still listed for June 26th is interesting. That date is actually my birthday, so I'd be pretty happy if that date is true, and for both Europe and North America since I'm from the US.

Is the first one for the Wii a downloadable game or would I need to find one used somewhere? Is the first one worth playing still, though I assume that is a dumb question.

@ IceClimbers I get the feeling we are looking at a late spring, early summer release, but honestly, it will probably just be holiday or later.

Actually now that I think about it.... Releasing this game shortly after E3 is a great idea. XCX needs to be as far away from Zelda U as possible and XCX can take advantage of the E3 hype train.

Dude. Get Xenogears. Get it.

If you even a little bit like RPG's, get Xenogears. I still have the music stuck in my head all these years later.

Give it a chance. Its old, but man, its a deep game. The story and music will carry you along. Great music, great story, great battle system with mechs. Its just... Just get it man. lol

EDIT: Faraway Promise is a melody I literally can still hum.
This game made me think and feel more than any other RPG of that time or even since man.

Xenosaga from my understanding was the logical conclusion of the "JRPG trying too hard to be an anime instead" direction the genre has went. Which is why I had no interest in it, as JRPGs are way better at being JRPGs than being anime.

Xenogears I've heard is absolutely fantastic though. It and Baten Kaitos I need to play someday, mostly because I need to play more games from this developer.

I've been seeing people say XCX might win GOTY or best JRPG this gen but....but.... If Bayonetta 2 can lose GOTY to a game like Shadow of Mordor and not even gain awards for stuff it deserves then I don't see XCX winning much either. Which is fine... to an extent. Oh, well. Haha its whatever.

Don't assume that western games are all trash; they're mostly trash, but then again, so are Japanese games. The best of the best are still great regardless and among them it's mostly a contest of personal preference.

I haven't played Xenosaga. But Xenogears is great.
It's essentially porn for philosophy students.

There's a lot of Western games I love. Shadow of Mordor just doesn't deserve all the praise it got, in my opinion.

The praise for Shadow of Mordor was due to the innovative things they did within the systems of the game. I found it to be fun. Not a Game of the Year or anything, but fun. However, I think that what they did within it was probably one of the most innovative things to be done last year. That kind of system run off the cloud in the future and the possibilities are literally endless as to what you could see. Your game would literally be different than anybody else's game and you could say that and truly mean it. If they used that same idea for more than just characters too it could be huge.
Shadow of Mordor is something Developers will be looking at for inspiration, more so than everyone will be praising 20 years from now.

I think it would be wise for Nintendo to release the game in late June, or July. That way they can distance themselves from the huge fall games. They still have to release Zelda, starfox, and mario maker, all of which, I'm sure will come out in fall. Plus I don't think many non-hardcore Nintendo fans are going to want to commit to a lengthy jrpg when there are many other games coming out at that time. I'll definitely pick up xenoblade x over other games, just because I'm sure xenoblade will be hard to find in a couple years. But I do also have a ton of other games I want to play in fall, so I won't have a ton of time to commit to one huge game.
