Sounds cool, but I'm probably gonna buy Monster Hunter 4 and wait on Evolve, I'm done buying games blindly. Unless the beta persuades me otherwise

Well since you already have it on dolphin version, wait for a wiiU digital version. There is no risk of anything getting lost from the res drop, or draw distance. The 3DS version mostly just exposes the game to a larger audience. I wouldn't consider it unless they make extensive additions. Im also someone who doesn't care about 3D =/. Between the physical and eventual digital, There is little point to the physical unless you want it as part of a collection. The eventual digital version gives the money to nintendo and monolithsoft. The time delay for a digital version shouldn't mean much. So it comes down to collection or giving the makers of the game deserved money.
I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't make a new cover for it :/

So Nintendo uploaded the trailer in 60 fps.. does that mean anything?
And 1080p.
I dont think it means anything. The logo animation splash appears to be 60fps, but the gameplay footage itself looks like a very consistant 30 to me. Im also prety certain the game will be in 720p.
Otherwise, I think it means Nintendo and Monolith soft sacrificed puppies. SOOOOOOO many puppies. Mountains of adorable puppies.

Awesome!!!!! I'm really feeling it! XD I hate how the "only for" part is right beside the logo though, would have preferred a sticker on top of the plastic layer or something instead...
Btw, to all Xenoblade fans, should I buy this game on the new Nintendo 3DS? Or look for it on the Wii or wait for it to eventually come to the eShop?
Id say get it however you want it most. Its going to be hard to get on wii, and it could be pricey, anywhere from full retail price into the hundreds, depending on availability (Gamestop) in your area, or if you are forced to get it online through ebay.
The 3ds version will have some extra features (Like a model veiwer), will be portable, 3d of course, and it will be easier to find, however, at 240p, the loss of resolution will cut out a lot of visual details, despite the games being asset identical, for every 2 pixels on the wii game, you only get 1 displayed for the 3ds game.
Visual Example of what a lower resolution screen does to identical objects:
Of course, actual pixels cant be subdivided like that (Thos would be the biggest breakthrough in screen technology EVER) and of course, with my rotten luck they dont show what it should really look like, so Ill have to use another example to give you a visual idea of how this works visually.
Its not technically directly related, so ignore the words. Basically, whatever (pixelated) image you look at, pretend the one you are looking at is a circle on wii at 480p, and the one directly above it, is what you would get with the same circle on 3ds because of the smaller resolution screen.
This means the further into the distance you look, the more visual information is lost because of the lower resolution screen, for some this may be an issue, however, being the original game was only 480p during a time when every other game was 720-1080, the games visuals rely on the strength of its scene composition and art direction, and not clean image quality and tons of tiny details.
It might be because I have already done playthroughs in HD on dolphin (It does look very nice with clean hd IQ), but I am far more excited to see how the game pops in 3d, especially since I long ago was blown away by the 3d screens of xenoblade someone made for the 3ds browser. Ive been wishing for an impossible xenoblade in 3d ever since, and now its practically upon us XD

This is how it worked in an earlier skylanders game. Hopefully its the same in this one

Graphics need a lot of polishing but it looks sweet for what they showed us.
The graphics are exceptionally polished. The worst thing I saw was some Zfighting on the flora in a couple spots.
This level of graphical fidelity is the overhead cost of having scale this massive on the wii u.
Its the same on any other system. The bigger your world, the lower the fidelity. This is why ffXV doesnt have the same level of graphical fidelity as PT.

I was, until they began the pre order for planned dlc content thats really just rainbow from the main game thats been compartmentalized and sold off seperately unicorn tongue.
I will not support companies that engage in this behavior. I'll buy it used. Preferably a used version that already has all the 'dlc' for the year already on a single disc.

Here is the vid I was referring to earlier. If anyone has not seen it, give it a look.
Oh, Hey, its Chuggaconroy. He most be frothing mad with excitement.
Honestly, Im surprised a lot of people seem to be missing a very obvious possibility.
And that would be finding OTHER colonies, er, Neo cities/countries (for the tiny countries).
Neo London, Neo Berlin, Neo Las Vegas (Please) Neo Tokyo, Neo Seoul, Neo Bulgeria (Pretty please, or at least Neo Sofia)

I have no idea who this guy is.
But Ryudo's post has given me some clarity and context on this situation.
Used to help with a youth home my wife worked at. Asp. sufferers have really really hard times with changes, particularly in schedueled events and things they've come to expect as normal. I can see how changing sonic like they did for Sonic boom could really set him off.

Apart from Sega, Nintendo has been the one who has made the most mistakes: no CDs for N64 made it lose a ton of support, specially in Japan; no DVDs or Internet connection for GC. Despite the higher price for XB, they managed to outsell GC; Wii U lacked software for the first semester 2 years straight, no account system, the VC is bare when compared to Wii's.
It's no longer a question of "will Nintendo go for the core gamers?", it's a necessity.
This generation proved that Nintendo can't support two main platforms at the same time. It was fine until the DS, when they brought a lot of small games or old games (GBA) and the bulk of the resources went to N64, GC and Wii.
And it's not just a matter of making games, it's about the marketing aswell. Iwata admitted that last year that they had to refrain from pushing Wii U more because they needed that money for pushing the 3DS.
If they go with 2 consoles aswell for next gen either they unify their game development or with the little amount of support home consoles have worldwide and handhelds have in the West, things are going to look even worse.
Unifying their production of games will, not only allow them to sell a single game to the whole Nintendo fanbase, but they will have resources to make games that they can't afford to make now. And that is actually the most important part of that strategy: to develop games that cater to the PS and MS fanbase on a constant basis, not just one or two per year - 'cause that won't help things change.
It goes deeper than that as well, it has massive reductions in opportunity costs: http://en.wikipedia....pportunity_cost
Before, Nintendos teams needed to be professional level experts of two completely different languages and coding styles to support two systems to Nintendos level of quality. That costs a LOT of time, money, and human resources.
Now they will only have to master a single style.
