The game I wanted to love above all others is finally in my hands. The initial verdict after a few hours of playing? Well, it's complicated...

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Xenoblade Chronicles series composer Manami Kiyota has possibly finished the final orchestra recording for the next Monolith Soft title.
Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
One of the best JRPGS this gen.
Nothing is complicated when we have a handful of JRPGS this gen.
i have been enjoying this game so far only wish on xb360 or ps3 so it could get the graphic boost it deserves
"All of the hype surrounding Xenoblade suggested an old-school JRPG; a breath of fresh air in a genre that has strayed so far from its roots"
did you play radiant historia? You claim your a crono trigger fan, and if you played this game along with hundreds of others this gen, this quote would still be in your head
your other mistake was quoting that egm review...........
"Xenoblade is most definitely not a return-to-classic-form JRPG. It isn’t what I had hoped it would be."
this is the problem when people dont play games, and research games.........anyone knew it was basically a different kind of final fantasy XII..........
And this isnt a [problem, unlike western rpgs where they are basically all the same gameplay wise....... japanese rpgs are usually all quite different and thats ok......
you want a "classic"( even though this doesnt mean anything) japanese rpg?
like I said did you play trails in the sky? radiant historia? golden sun 3? anything?
@CarlitoBrigante
"handful of JRPGS this gen." if by handful, if you mean hundreds, I agree with you, because in terms of pure quantity, thats how many there were this gen
judging an epic game of biblical proportions like xenoblade after a few hours play?
You've got to be kidding right? You need to devote around 50plus hours and you'l be around halfway through the game. By THAT time, you will be in a position to judge the game, you will completely hooked and know xenoblade is classic..
I must admit at first i was underwhelmed, but give it time.
