Nintendo has published a new Xenoblade Chronicles 3D trailer ahead of its release in early April.
Carried with a warning at the outset that it contains some spoilers, the trailer sets up Chronicles 3D's story of revenge, while showcasing the JRPG's diverse cast of characters and landscapes.
The handheld port of Monolith Soft's breakthrough Wii game is only playable on the New Nintendo 3DS, and not the older models, due to the demands it places on the system's improved pr ocessor.
It also takes advantage of the New 3DS's C-Stick, with the analogue nub used for camera control. However, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D's file size is too large for the 4GB memory cards that are bundled with each New Nintendo 3DS, meaning that players who want to download the digital version from the eShop will need to purchase a larger memory card.
GameSpot's Xenoblade Chronicles 3D review praised the epic scale of the handheld title. Games critic John Robertson wrote: "While it's an inferior proposition to its initial Wii releas e in 2011, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D remains superior to the majority of RPGs. The move to 3DS has harmed the act of playing, but if you can look past the clunky signage and questionable 3D then you'll find a game that remains an amazing high point for the genre, one that'll absorb you right up to its glorious finale."
The Xenoblade Chronicles 3D release date falls on April 2 in Europe and April 10 in the US.
Put the internet to work for you.
