Runs very well, still looks muddy and jaggy like the wii version, alot of the UI elements were not scaled correctly and look blurry but it's still fully functional xenoblade on the go so you can't really go wrong. Not a good port, but not a bad one either.

Not a good port, but not a bad one either. It also fixes a few bugs, most notably the annoying auto-attack one where in the original a weapon could only do minimum damage+100 no matter what the displayed range on the weapon was. So a 340-600 damage weapon would only ever do 340-440 damage.

The AI seems like it might be smarter too. Reyn and Sharla are using more abilities than they ever bothered with in my time with the wii version.

Opening it on your New 3DS internet browser and turning on the 3D seems like it would be an easier way to do that though.

Everyone keeps telling me that Shulk's heal is enough to support everyone but I have no idea how since bosses and stuff with AoE abilities just shred everyone. I don't want to use Sharla since Dunban is cooler but this is getting kind of annoying.

I never found his heal useful until I leveled it to max, and even then I preferred using Melia or Riki for healing duty. Also make sure your tanks have Last Stand in their arts bar, that one ability saved my rear end more often than any other.

what the hell is wrong with my eyes? when I do manage to get the 3D illusion working, it's actually all backwards -- background elements are in "front" in 3D.

Kids Icarus Uprising is half Rail shooter, half first person shooter with tiny linear levels. I'm pretty sure the first zone in Xenoblade is larger than the total walkable area in all of Kid Icarus.

Zore posted:... Kids Icarus Uprising is half Rail shooter, half first person shooter with tiny linear levels. Then maybe Xenoblade was a poor choice to be the first and only New 3DS exclusive title. I mean I'm all for making it more widely available but I would much rather they have added it to the Wii Virtual Console lineup. Especially since by all reports the porting to the 3DS was very low effort.

Tender Bender posted:Then maybe Xenoblade was a poor choice to be the first and only New 3DS exclusive title. I don't disagree. I figure they did it to show off how powerful the New 3DS was and because Xenoblade was such an unexpected hit with the localization campaign. Plus it was a Wii game close enough to first party that it got a Smash bros rep that had absolutely no motion controls so porting it would be infinitely simpler than something like, I dunno, Mario Galaxy or something.

Oh, sorry, I should have specified. I was talking about the youtube video posted earlier; the 3DS works just fine for me. I think I'm crossing my eyes the wrong way, and I just can't do it properly.

Is Melia supposed to like...contribute to combat? I just got her and she just stands there 90% of the time it seems like.

Telling everyone to focus on one target helps her AI somewhat. Really though, she's a character you should use yourself to get the most out of. Personally, I felt she was too immobile, so I never used her, but she's a lot of people's favorite. e: Basically, the way she works is that she summons small elemental orbs around her as she uses her Arts, and these buff up your party as long as she has them around her. You then use your Talent Art, the big one in the middle, to use them. Melia with maxed out +Lightning damage and Ether with three Bolt Elementals is capable of the most burst damage in the game. Problem with the AI is that if often just holds on to the buffs. Terper fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Apr 28, 2015 |

I hear this is a problem with AI Sharla too, where the AI just won't use the central gimmick of the character. Melia's main thing is summoning up to three elements to buff and use them in powerful ether attacks while filling her talent guage, which activates a Burst state that enables special arts.

Sharla at least healed people and put enemies to sleep in my experience, Melia wouldn't even auto attack unless the enemy was right ontop of her. Ah well. Not sure if I want to keep Dunban as my third spot or switch him for Riki now since I don't want to deal with Melia.

You should use both Dunban and Riki. There's a reason they are the two party members featured in Shulk's Final Smash.
