Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Wii | 0 comments
Here we are again talking about Xenoblade Chronicles – this time with something a little bit different. Instead of the usual ten-minute video we usually share on Sunday, this is more of a discussion. I’ve had a desire to talk more in-depth about the franchise because there’s so much to discuss about these complex games.
To help me on this task, our reporter Nicolas joined me in an hour-long Xenoblade discussion where we talk about our experiences with the series, specific plot points and what we expect from the future third game in the franchise. If you are interested, feel free to check it out in the video down below.

Original (4/19): After Nintendo announced the release date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, it opened the official Japanese website for the game. Much more content is expected in the weeks and months ahead, but there are already a few goodies.
First up, we have pure gameplay with a quick look at battles. It’s just under 30 seconds, but that’s all we have at the moment.
Here’s why Xenoblade Chronicles 3 could be the series’ best entry yet

After the new trailer released last week, we discovered that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is way closer than we thought, with a new release date set for July 29 rather than September. That is something incredibly rare in the gaming industry and may be a sign that Nintendo and Monolith Soft are really confident in the game.
With that in mind plus some other thoughts, in today’s video I discuss the possibility that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 could be the best we’ve seen of the series thus far. Feel free to check my conclusions below.

We have even more details about Xenoblade Chronicles 3, including a key aspect of the game’s premise as well as official character bios.
One of the things fans have guessed will play an important role is time. As it turns out, that’s correct. GameStop put up its listing for Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and the product description reveals that the Aionios soldiers only have “a mere 10 years to live and fight.”

The release date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has been moved up, with the game now set to launch on July 29. We previously had a September window from Nintendo.
According to today’s announcement, “life” is the central theme of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. In the game, players will step into the roles of protagonists Noah and Mio amid turmoil between the nations of Keves and Agnus. Six characters from those nations will come together to learn the truth behind their conflict, and set their sights for Swordsmarch, a land pierced by a giant sword.

It’s a great time to be a Xenoblade fan
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
There’s a huge contrast between Xenoblade position as a series today and twelve years ago when it started. Early on in the series, Nintendo didn’t even consider releasing the first game in North America, which led to the creation of “Operation Rainfall” – a campaign in which fans asked for the western release of 3 Wii games, including Xenoblade Chronicles.
Well, things are very different right now. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was just announced and the level of popularity has increased considerably. Taking all of this into consideration, I discuss the good place that Xenoblade is in right now and why Nintendo is promoting the series so much. You can check out the video down below.
