From the point of view of someone who didn't play Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, I strongly beg to differ. Especially considering how hard the original game is to come by in the UK, it's practically retail price and beyond
From that point of view, it's a slight thing to consider, I didn't play it on the Wii either, but it's still a bad port. Price wise, looking at it in the US and the UK on Ebay, to get it on the Wii used, is only slightly more than buying 3DS new. I would probably say just get the Wii version then. Portability is nice, but so many sacrifices were made and little was done to make it 3DS functional, especially New 3DS functional.
I don't know where you're looking for price comparison, but that's not the case on my end, with either eBay & Amazon UK
I found the original Xenoblade Chronicles in-store a few days ago, which as I already knew, no GC controller support. How about the classic controller, which I don't own and don't plan on buying anytime soon. As far as I've heard, the graphics in the Wii version were nothing to boast about to begin with. Was that really what made Xenoblade Chronicles all that great. DEH GREFIKS!? A beloved RPG, on the go. You fail to see the simple benefit of the game being on a handheld system here, for me that's how I like my RPGs. I'm not trying to prove the n3ds port as superior, but that it's still very much enjoyable nonetheless. There are certianly worse ports out there, You want a bad 3DS port? Go out and buy Rayman 3D
So how about that Bravely Defunct, I've heard great stories about that man
If you don't care about ugly textures, bad framerate, and no real 3DS functionality, and purely want it cause you play it on the go, that's fine. For those that can't look past the problems the game has, it's not a good port, which is a shame because I was interested in playing it because I didn't play it on the Wii. It was just one of my big disappointments of the year and this is a year that had Arkham Knight in it lol
Okay, hold your horses, those horses need to be held. Besides the graphical downgrade, I haven' noticed nor heard about these other issues. Like I said, I haven't gotten too far into the game, if something does come to my attention I'll get back to you. You know all that other stuff in the game, atmosphere, visuals, music, characters, gameplay, all the things that made Xenoblade Chronicles great? That's very much still intact in the New 3DS version, and that sold me on the game.
There's only so much there were able to do with a port of a Wii game (the biggest Wii game, no less) to a handheld with bit of extra juice.
Remember the original 'Legend of Zelda', the graphics were terrible and had a pretty bad framerate. What was it on a 8-bit system or something?
