...actually. If they really are uniformly doing All-Star in rooms of 5 by character date introduction, enough sperging means, if there truly is a Final Five yet to be revealed, we can figure them out.

That's a big assumption to make off of one screen, especially since the past 2 All-Stars changed up the way in which people appeared to vary the experience.

Shulk you're never going to capture the glory of "It's Reyn time" but an A for effort I guess.

Can't make a rainbow without a little Shulk! :downs:

Also Sakurai knows what's up, Riki/Shulk/Dunban is the best non-Melia party. Now all we need to make this perfect is for the The first stage final boss theme to play on the Xenoblade-flavoured Final Destination (name spoilers but I'm gonna say that anyone who cares has probably beaten the game by now).

e: I loving love how the "Jump" stance has the same colour as Monado Purge, because that's the one where he actually jumps. It's just such a nice touch- though "Buster" looks and feels more like Monado Enchant, but I doubt anyone really cares.

Also Smash will forever be Monado Eater in my heart because that move owned bones.

This is obviously missing people we know but it's simple enough. The last room would likely be full of people from the gap at the end, considering that's Lucina, Robin, Dark Pit, Palutena, and Shulk.

Palutena didn't debut in Kid Icarus Uprising so no

The game speed has been increased from what I can tell. Things that people said you couldn't do in the E3 build have been shown in the leaked footage (primarily there is much less lag between moves)

He undoubtedly does, but i'm pretty sure the Falcon Punch he did in the Shulk trailer was just as fast as his normal Falcon Punch. It only looked faster cause he changed his direction mid-charge so it looked like it had less charge time.

I've been meaning to play Xenoblade once I muster up $60-$100. Now that it's coming to 3DS, I considered getting that, but it looked like a lower-end Dreamcast game and seemed really slow. I assume the Wii version looks better, but was it also faster?

It was a massive game that even the developers themselves were scratching their heads at being able to fit on a Wii disc. It pushes the console about as far as it'll go.

His final smash should be a Chain Attack with two random party members, so we can get all the Xenoblade cast in the game.

I hope the next iteration of Smash Bros. includes yet another video-game interpretation of a real person like Dr. Kawashima and Wright.

Like I dunno, there was an NES port or two of the early Ultima games and Lord British appeared in them right? They could totally put him in as an assist trophy!

Xenoblade runs and looks great on the Wii, sorry. There can be slowdown during really intense battles with a ton of poo poo flying around, but it hardly ever framedrops, which makes it look more cool than anything else, it's like you're playing in slow-motion. The 3DS trailer looked like it ran at like 15 fps.

Is Xenoblade actually good or is it one of those games like Nier that a bunch of nerds claim is an underappreciated classic but it's actually mediocre at best.

My only complaint at all (I am super happy about all of this) is that they didn't get their Riki the ability to wear heavy armor. Because the only thing better than Riki is Riki as a tiny, spiky ball of death.

I haven't played any other RPGS on the Wii, so I can safely say it's the best RPG on the Wii. I really enjoyed it, but I had to take a few breaks with the game before I beat it, my run was relatively short, only 75 hours or so.

Congratulations! You Won.

THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN



Nier is kind of a bad game that's worth slogging thru for the story and music.

Xenoblade is a good game that suffers from being on the Wii, and from literally having way too much content.

It is the best jrpg in recent memory. The cast of characters is fantastic and likeable, there's a ton of really good plot twists, the music is superb, the environments are so, so pretty, and the game play, while it might look like an mmorpg, is actually pretty varied and deep once you start getting more party members.

It's decent. The people who call it the best JRPG in recent memory are the same people who have only played FF13 in the past five years.

All of you new Xenoblade players should scrounge up a few bucks from your couch cushions and buy Monoprice's Wii Component Cable. It worked wonders for making everything visually more crisp and discernible, even if it's still only 480p.
