killthenet Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I'm actually a little annoyed that it's coming out so soon, means I have less time to get to Xenoblade X - I thought I had until September!
MindFreak Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Yeah, this year is stacked. It's going to be hard to find the time to do these monstrous games. What a terrible, messy trailer that is, though. I have no idea what actually happened there.

Ronnie Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I'm sure the games are great and people obviously love them, it was just an amusing screenshot for me that's all.
Mokong Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 For a Xenoblade game that seems pretty standard, most of it will only appear during fights anyway. 1

Jonnas Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 "A delayed game is eventually good, but I'd also really like to play the new Xenoblade this summer, you know?"-Shigeru Miyamoto, probably 3
Dcubed Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I’m assuming this means that Splatoon 3 must’ve been delayed then… Why else would they be pulling XB3 forward so much!? This is very obviously Splatoon 3’s original release date (both previous titles were summer releases). Something must’ve gone horribly wrong with that game, and so they’re scrambling to fill the release hole by pulling XB3 forward. Calling it now.
Sheikah Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Needs more UI.I'll give you that, that is a shit ton of clutter.
Julius Posted April 20, 2022 Author Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Collector's Edition confirmed for UK release via My Nintendo Store, you can register your interest now: Quote A Collector’s Edition including package artwork from Masatsugu Saito, a full-colour, softcover concept art book with over 250 pages and a steel case for the game card, will be made available exclusively from the My Nintendo Store. Edited April 20, 2022 by Julius
Mokong Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Has anyone considered the 7 for July is a typo and was meant to be 9 for September and nobody copped it till after the trailer went up and now Nintendo and Monolith are just rolling with it haha 2
Julius Posted June 7, 2022 Author Posted June 7, 2022 Pre-orders for the Collector's Edition won't begin until late July (?!), you can now register your interest:

Mokong Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 How have they managed to get the game ready early but not the Collectors Edition? Not much point in me even registering interest for it considering the Nintendo Store UK won't deliver to Ireland either. Hopefully Smyths or Gamestop here get it and info comes out soon. I've got a standard edition on pre-order already but hoping I can get it changed to a Collectors Edition. Have the CE's for for the previous Xenoblade Switch games, will be annoying to not have a complete set Also, I am trying really hard to not watch that trailer.... In avoidance mode now to avoid learning too much before release haha.
Julius Posted July 18, 2022 Author Posted July 18, 2022 Update on pre-orders for the Collector's Edition in Europe: Quote Due to unforeseen logistical challenges, we are unable to open pre-orders for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector’s Edition before the game launches on July 29th. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. To give customers the flexibility to purchase and enjoy the game at launch, we will now be offering the contents of the Collector’s Edition (soft cover concept art book, steel case and outer box packaging) as a separate purchase at a price that does not include the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 software. This means you can buy the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 game when it launches on July 29th, and have a chance to pre-order the Collector’s Edition contents on My Nintendo Store later in September.
Julius Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 The English version of the meaty 8 minute overview trailer which Japan got a couple of weeks ago:
Ike Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Just a warning that the game has leaked, so watch out for spoilers. 1

Julius Posted July 26, 2022 Author Posted July 26, 2022 Early review scores are looking really good! 1
darksnowman Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Seeing that, I pulled up the Gameinformer review for a squiz. Knowing the first Xenoblade Chronicles, I'd imagine the criticisms are valid. Then I scrolled down just a wee bit too far after the conclusion of the review and saw that the first commenter is calling for the website to die, and demands answers on as to why the Apex Legends guy was given the task of reviewing XC3. The Internet needs to take a chill pill.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Eurogamer's summary has alarm bells ringing for me, especially the navigating environments part. Quote Still, the narrative and world designs left much to be desired as critical plot twists are frustratingly obvious, character growth is virtually nonexistent, and navigation in each uninspired environment proves to be a tiring exercise. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a double-edged sword that needs a bit more sharpening. Sounds very familiar to how I feel about the first game. Loved the second one though.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Reading more of the summaries and it does seem like Eurogamer is the odd one out. Hmmmmm. Still not sure whether to pick it up on Friday or not. Depends how I get on with Live A Live.
