Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch | 0 comments
This past week, Nintendo finally presented a “June Direct”. However, rather than being a general one like many had been hoping for, the broadcast was totally focused on Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The game is coming out in just a matter of weeks and we were given tons of information about the story, exploration, and combat.
With that in mind, I decided to invite one of our editors, Nicolas, to talk about everything that we saw during the event. We are both big fans of the franchise, and in this huge discussion, we shared our impressions of what was shown. You can check out the full discussion down below.

[Let’s Talk] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nintendo Direct reactions
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
We didn’t get a general Nintendo Direct this week, but we did see a game-specific presentation for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Nintendo went over a lot that was previously known, but showed off some new stuff as well. There was also lots of gameplay to check out before next month’s launch. You can check out the full recap announcement here.
Funnily enough, one of the more noteworthy pieces of information shared is that the game is getting an Expansion Pass, just like the last entry in the series. Nintendo and Monolith Soft will be rolling out new content in four waves through the end of 2023 which will be capped off by a new story scenario. Oh, and amiibo will be supported, including the Shulk figure that grants players the look of the Monado when using the Swordfighter class.
With everything that was shown earlier this week, how are you feeling about the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct and the game specifically? What are your thoughts on the Expansion Pass? Will you be picking everything up? Let us know in the comments below.
