Monolith Soft Explains Why Xenoblade Chronicles On Switch Contains A New Epilogue Story - Nintendo Life
May 25, 2020 4 mins, 47 secs

Later this week, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition arrives on the Nintendo Switch?

First, it would appeal to existing fans and would continue the story towards the future of Xenoblade, and second, so we could finally show off the shoulder of Bionis, a map that didn’t fit into the main game, but was perfectly suited for this role2

Will you be trying out the Definitive Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles later this week.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

60 bucks is too much for the third release of this game, given it's only $20 on Wii U, but who am I to change Nintendo's pricing policies.

@rushiosan The only way to get Nintendo games for cheap, is to get physicals in bargain bin when the console is gone from the market.

I hope that the epilogue is as good as the main game, though it's gonna be a bit jarring loosing some main story mechanics and everyone but Shulk and Melia.

I hope they've done something wild to justify it just being just Shulk and Melia from the main game with something like they're on their honeymoon and then things go south really fast.

How much money did it cost to add the new 20 hour epilogue story, and how much did it cost to make the normal base game.

Does that mean this will lead into Xenoblade 3.

@mesome713 yes 2 is a little better, I got it on my switch online.

@thesilverbrick walmart in store sells brand new switch games for $50 instead of $60.

@Kalmaro If Nintendo and third party publishers want money, HDifying the Wii library will work.

The Wii might have been plagued with shovelware, but the same circumstances which led to it also led to a large number of inventive games which couldn't be developed today, being too risky for investment-conscious AAA studios, but beyond the scope of smaller indie teams.

@JimmySpades Got any Wii games in mind.

If you haven't played it, it's worth the money.

I think it's the only game I've double dipped on at full price.

Still I'll judge Nintendo for Wind Waker HD as it was simply an up-scaled re-release that probably took little to know effort to update.

I'd expect that the two probably cost about the same, or that the base game cost only a bit more than the epilogue.

Between redirecting all the cutscenes, upscaling all the textures, remodeling chunks of environment and all the characters, QoL improvements, new lighting and a brand new UI on top of normal porting costs, they had to have spent a pretty chunk of change on the base game.

@PerishSong part of the reason it did not sell well was that Nintendo simply didn't do a big print run, because "shop" demand was small.

Alot of shops were struggling and going out of business over these years, so went with mainstream games primarily!

@thesilverbrick I’d go to the store, most price match and Walmart usually has switch games for $50 instead of $60.

Honestly, after knowing it's going to run at 30 fps and a resolution of 504p/720p docked, and 378p/540p undocked, I lost all interest in this "remaster".

They've made pretty much another Xenoblade 2, but with no excuses now (it's just a REMASTER, damn it, and it's been several years since Switch was released...), and there's no way I'm paying full price for this.

Nintendo Of America did not want to sell the game, Xenoblade was one of the three games involved in Operations Rainfall

If I'm remembering correctly Gamestop got the exclusive rights to sell the game and jacked the price up

I'm ready for my upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles weekend

I've never played the first game before; I've only played X, which is more like an unrelated spin-off to my understanding

@FargusPelagius GameStop got exclusive retail rights to Xenoblade Chronicles but were selling brand new copies as "used" for $99

GameStop helped contribute to the game selling poorly in NA due to greed

But if Target can deliver my bluray movies on release day and if a third party seller can deliver an old video game using basic usps within three days, why oh why can’t Amazon, the world’s largest retailer and hands down one of the most powerful companies in the world (so much so that they don’t pay taxes the way you and I have to), figure out how to deliver my vitamins?
