Why did only Xenoblade make it out of the Big 3 on wii? And what was the idea behind releasing good games like this on a console made primary for Just Dance and wii tennis?
>>
>>693334895
The Wii was more popular in Japan than the PS3 and Monolithsoft was bought by Nintendo three years before XBC. As for your first question it’s probably because its an original RPG from Nintendo themselves and Nintendo’s only other rpg’s were mario shit.
>>
Coz the other 2 only sold about 12 copies each.
If people knew who made Last Story it would have sold a lot better.
>what was the idea behind releasing good games like this on a console made primary for Just Dance and wii tennis?
I'll answer sincerely even though i shouldn't bother - Nintendo were the ones that offered their platform and footed the bill. Sony were too busy burning bridges with japan and promoting cinematic games for women.
>>
>>693334895
Xenoblade’s the only game in there that's actually fun.
>>
>>693334895
Xenoblade was the only first party title and monolithsoft had much more support to continue the series past the first game.
>>
>>693334895
Were the Last Story and Pandora's Tower actually good?
>>
>>693336664
Yes. Especially The Last Story.
>>
>>693336664
Yes. Especially Pandora's Tower
>>
>Localizing Xenoblade is big enough of a deal that Nintendo of Europe goes "welp, we'll take the blow"
>becomes a limited GameStop exclusive for some fucking reason
>>
>>693337389
Who do you think was footing the bill?
>>
>>693336664
Maybe.
Especially Both.

>>693337389
because reggie is a dirrty spic that did everything to undermine Nintendo, and inflate his ego and fame.
His only good action was getting Wii sports as a free pack in.
>>
>>693337641
I thought that was NoE.
>>
>>693336664
They deserve sequels just to see if they weren't lightning in a bottle.
>>
>>693334895
Xenoblade was an actual full-fledged pretty traditional jrpg and not some gimmicky action game or cover shooter,, which the wii desperately needed.

Also Nintendo published versus xsneed.
>>
>>693334895
Xenoblade was original, the other two were not. Xenoblade actually handled moving around its environment and encountering enemies differently from most games in the genre. Last Story and Pandora's Tower were pretty typical of the genre. If you wanted to play a JRPG, you typically didn't pick up the Wii.

Name other dating sim + 3d castlevania

>sakaguchi cultists slurping last story
lmfao
Game is pure trash like all of his solo games
>>
>>693335343
Wouldn't jrpgfags at least be aware of the name Sakaguchi? And Uematsu should be familiar name too, even if you've never played Final Fantasy.
>>
>>693345636
Very few JRPG players care about Sakaguchi desu. Online? You'll see a lot of praise. But that is 1% of the population. This has been the case even going back to the SNES days.
>>
>>693334895
it was the best one by far plus published by nintendo/first party
>>
>>693334895
Last Story was shit and that's why it's forgotten.

Pandora's Tower is a pretty fun and unique bargain bin game, but nothing more.
>>
>>693344938
You didn't play either of the other games and yet you confidently make statements about them that everyone who has played them knows are false.

Trash like you have ruined society.
>>
>>693334895
>Big 3
Why are you making shit up retard?
>>
>>693344938
You did not play or even watch two seconds of Pandora's Tower gameplay and it fucking shows. It's a god damn zelda-like.
>>
>>693334895
Because xseed doesn't care.
>>
>>693334895
Because Sakurai decides who lives and who dies.
>>
>>693334895
Xenoblade was first party and the only one published by Nintendo in North America so that's why. I liked The Last Story though.
>>
>>693334895
Because the other two sucked
>>
>>693345636
No one gives a fuck about dollar store Final Fantasy
>>
>>693335343
The Last Story wasn't that far behind Xenoblade actually. It sold 700k while Xeno sold 900k. Pandora's Tower flopped in every region tho sadly.
>>
>>693336664
Pandora's Tower is easily the best 3D Castlevania game.
>>
>>693335151
>Nintendo themselves and Nintendo’s only other rpg’s were mario shit.
Fire Emblem bros....
Golden Sun bros....
>The Last Story IP is owned by Nintendo
The Last Story bros...

I like the combat of the Last Story, atmosphere is great as well (especially the arena), music is a bit forgettable (I can only remember 1 track),
weakest part of the Last story is unironically story, seriously what's with the weak ass ending.

Pandora's Tower on the other hand has good combat, good music and the plot is simple but charming, it has some frustrating moment like meat management and stupidly hidden path, but overall I think the game is on par with Xenoblade 1
>>
>>693350898
I love Time Management with bad end deadlines shit. Pikmin had it and it filtered trillions.

>INb4 it isn't actually a bad end monsterfags
>>

>a console made primary for Just Dance and wii tennis
I feel like it's this type of revisionism that led to Wii U being seen negatively at launch. The reality though is PS3 and Xbox 360 sucked shit compared to Wii which mogged them in every way, it had better games and sold better.
>>
>>693335151
Retarded nigger thought "the big 3" meant Xbox, Sony, Nintendo lol
Can't even read "on the Wii"
>>
>>693352786
Anon, it was about the second line...
