Here’s 24 Minutes of Footage from Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

The upcoming Nintendo 3DS remake of the acclaimed Monolith Soft developed Wii exclusive JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles, is almost here, and as we near the release date, we see more and more of the miraculous port which, against all odds, has somehow been made to work on a tiny handheld.

And now, here’s probably our biggest look at the game so far- 24 minutes of footage of the game running on the New Nintendo 3DS; while there are some obvious downgrades here, frankly, we have to admit that it looks pretty darn good, and that anyone getting the 3DS version won’t be missing out or getting a compromised experience of the original title.

With the original Xenoblade Chronicles being in such short stock – it frequently commands prices of over $100 on online auction sites due to its limited availability – the 3DS version may also be many people’s best bet of playing the RPG ahead of the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U, which is scheduled for later this year.
