@Sonicka Yeah. I had a similar comment about this 5 years ago in this same comment section. Scroll towards the top of the comments. You'll see it. People have a warped sense of what open world means. To be open world, your character must have complete freedom to roam the entire world map at any point in the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 does not belong on this list. It is not open world. It has large open areas to explore, but it does not fit the open world definition.
@larryisaman Don't approach the battle system as button mashing and spamming arts. Pay attention your position, Soul Voices, and Art effects. It's a really good battle system if you don't go in expecting an action hack and slash system.
I'm sure you guys at Nintendo Life are finishing up your review copy of the game and eagerly writing that 10/10 score review for this game. If y'all give this a 9/10, your reviewer obviously isn't a fan of the series.
@SalvorHardin So tired of hearing YouTubers tell me to do that. I will not like, subscribe, or click any bell. I will only watch what the algorithm places in my home page feed.
It's the level of tone deafness that baffles me. Surely TPC knows that people only watch the Pokémon Directs for the mainline game announcements. They make us suffer through the Go, Unite, Sleep, Cafe crap that no one cares about.
Hyped as heck for it. Doing a run-through of Xenoblade 1 DE and Future Connected in the meantime while we wait for XCX DE to release. It's easily my favorite game on the Wii U, and I lived and breathed those Survival Guides released in 2015. Still have my special edition goodies with art book, artwork, and USB drive.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Confirmed For Nintendo Switch 2
Guess we won't be playing as Link in this one.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of the Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Will Be Enhanced With Switch 2
Being able to share Ultrahand creations is amazing.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Minecraft Movie Are In
I've never played Minecraft, but I'm still gonna see the movie. I like supporting video game movies.
Re: Val Kilmer, Acting Legend And One-Time Video Game Voice Artist, Has Died
"Harvey! I'm Batman!"
Re: Nintendo Drops Teaser Video For The Switch 2's 'C' Button
If the C button really does make it connect to the original Switch, it really is a "Switch Attach" like that old YouTube survey leak suggests.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition?
10/10 easy. Next question
Re: Nintendo Direct March 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
The evil Pac Man game looked kinda cool. Everything else...meh.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
Why is everyone so shocked? We saw the reports yesterday about the Direct.
Re: Nintendo Reuploads Game Vouchers Trailer With Switch 2 Fine Print
You have to be smart with the Vouchers. Pick games that never go on sale and remain $60 all the time.
Re: PSA: Gold Points For Nintendo Switch Purchases Are Now Discontinued
With the remainder of my Gold Points, I cashed in on Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition HD, Golf Story, and SteamWorld Dig...all of which were on sale.
Re: New Nintendo Patent Is All About 2D Visuals, But Don't Jump To Any Remake Conclusions
Really hoping for HD-2D remake of Chrono Trigger!

Re: Round Up: Minecraft Live (March 2025) - Everything Announced
Hopefully this movie is good
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
@larryisaman Don't approach the battle system as button mashing and spamming arts. Pay attention your position, Soul Voices, and Art effects. It's a really good battle system if you don't go in expecting an action hack and slash system.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
Just XCX: DE for me this weekend.
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
My character says he's "going to unload" on the enemy during battles, so I guess that could count too.
Re: PSA: Nintendo Reminds Us It's Winding Down Gold Points Next Week
I better register my new physical copy of XCX DE and get my last 60 gold points.
Re: Square Enix Publisher Sale Brings Delightful Discounts To A Boatload Of RPGs
Waiting on Dragon Quest 3 Remake to go on sale.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
All of those 4/5 reviews sound like 5/5 reviews to me. Guess other reviewers hate giving perfect scores to games.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
Ready to put another 200+ hours into this version too. Heck yeah, so ready. I knew this would be a 10/10. Thanks for the excellent review!
Re: Sakurai Says Japanese Developers Should Avoid Trying To Appeal To Western Tastes
I'll take Japanese games any day over crap that kids play today like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.
Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime 4 Will Apparently Make Quite The Splash At The Switch 2 Direct
I'm just sitting here waiting on the XCX DE review embargo to lift.
Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time
@Real_Obsi Nope. I love the open world and battle system.
Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time
The ranking is way off in my opinion. X is the best. Then 3 > 2 > 1.
Re: PSA: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Has Reportedly Leaked Online
It'll be just my luck to scroll by a spoiler video on YouTube. The algorithm knows I love the game since I listen to the soundtrack all the time.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Xenoblade Game? Rate Your Favourite For Our Upcoming Ranking
X is the best. Then 3, 2, and 1.
Torna > Future Redeemed >>>>> Future Connected
Re: Pipistrello And The Cursed Yoyo Is Giving Us Zelda GBA With A Neon Coat Of Paint
Looks more like Zelda GBC instead of GBA. Minish Cap looks better than that.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition On Switch
I'm sure you guys at Nintendo Life are finishing up your review copy of the game and eagerly writing that 10/10 score review for this game. If y'all give this a 9/10, your reviewer obviously isn't a fan of the series.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th March)
Trying to tie up loose ends with other games before focusing all my attention on XCX DE in less than two weeks. So hyped!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Two More Titles
Wish every NSO update was this solid. There'd be no complaints.

One of my favorite games from the SNES. A true gem for any Zelda fan
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
I waited until July 2017 to get my Switch in the Splatoon 2 bundle. Loved getting the carrying case with it.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Confirms Starters And Mega Evolutions, Coming Late 2025
Love having our attacks mapped to the ABXY buttons now.
Re: New Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Trailer Is Our Best Look Yet At The Upcoming Remaster
So ready to get lost in this game again.

Only game that matters on the list is XCX DE.
Re: 'Fantasy Life i' Commericals Showcase Comfortingly Familiar Gameplay
I am so ready to hear some boss battle music play while chopping down a high level tree!
Re: Super Mario NES Banger Joins Nintendo's Music App, Here's The Full Tracklist
Should have just added the Super Mario All-Stars collection. The NES version is hard to listen to after growing up with the SNES version.
Re: Former Nintendo Sales Lead Claims Retailers Know "Nothing" About Switch 2 Price
@SalvorHardin So tired of hearing YouTubers tell me to do that. I will not like, subscribe, or click any bell. I will only watch what the algorithm places in my home page feed.
Re: Random: Zelda Fan-Project Turns 'Breath Of The Wild' Into Stunning Anime Opening
Looks like an anime intro
Re: Talking Point: Should We Actually Get Excited For Pokémon Day This Year?
It's the level of tone deafness that baffles me. Surely TPC knows that people only watch the Pokémon Directs for the mainline game announcements. They make us suffer through the Go, Unite, Sleep, Cafe crap that no one cares about.
Re: Video: Let's Compare Xenoblade Chronicles X On Wii U And Switch
This looks so good. So excited for this to come out.
Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition For Switch
Hyped as heck for it. Doing a run-through of Xenoblade 1 DE and Future Connected in the meantime while we wait for XCX DE to release. It's easily my favorite game on the Wii U, and I lived and breathed those Survival Guides released in 2015. Still have my special edition goodies with art book, artwork, and USB drive.
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds 3DS 'StreetPass Mii Plaza' Soundtrack
The only time I got StreetPasses were at anime and nerd conventions in my area.
Re: 'Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma' Spreads The Love With New Romance Candidate Trailers
Those physical extra goodies look enticing 😁
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Finally Lands New May Release Date
I'll still be too busy with XCX DE to worry about this game, so I'll wait until summer or sale to get this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th February (North America)
Nothing for me this week. Trying to finish my first playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles DE and Future Connected before XCX DE releases next month.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Adds Characters From "SEGA Universes"
Surprised there's not a "everyone's here" comment in this comment section.
Re: Random: Want To Play Smash Bros. Melee On The Train? Amtrak Is Fine With That
Sounds fun to me.
Re: Level-5 CEO Reveals Fresh 'Fantasy Life i' Screenshots, Teases More Info Coming Soon
