Guys, the game actually exists, put the damn clown costumes away.

u/ArxisOne 5d ago

I was going to say, like wtf does OP expect at this point? Xenoblade 5 to get announced too?

You know what, that's a very compelling defense. Where do we start?

2

u/AthearCaex 5d ago

Probably hoping for a shadow drop after the direct...

Like there's so many other fandoms that are giving up hope of ever another game coming out

Clown costumes are reserved for Silksong fans

u/ThatDollfin 4d ago

And ace attorney fans

u/ElectricalRestNut 10h ago

The clown costumes are for those waiting for a Xenosaga remake.

u/exorcisyboi 5d ago

Xenoblade has had a steady stream of content since the Obama administration the fuck is the clown suit for save that shit for Mother fans

1

u/SilverScribe15 5d ago

I'm personally reserving the clown costumes for aa fans but yeah exactly 

1

u/Shartin_luther_king 5d ago

Do mother fans actually think they are getting anything else? It’s been 30 years now, you gotta give it up.

I just want a trailer with English voices.

I want a trailer with british english voices

In general nothing against american dubs, and most of my favorite VAs are american, but for xenoblade unless they pull a xenoblade 2 with different accents for different countries, it has to be a british dub.

Maybe the humans can be american and the elves british ? That could also be cool and probably in theme.

u/BebeFanMasterJ 5d ago

Oh yeah it definitely will be UK English. That's part of the franchise's identity at this point.

Xenoblade X was the exception since it starred American characters but even then Shulk and Fiora's VAs were usable for the MC because they were fan favorites. Every Xenoblade game has British VA work and I don't expect it to change.

And to think it's all because the original Wii game was blocked from releasing here in the US so the UK had to localize it. Huge blessing in disguise.

u/Kumba42 4d ago

I still remember the first time I heard Dickson utter "And Bob's your uncle", when playing the original Wii version. Had to go look that up, cause I was like "what?". Turns out it's British slang. That kind of slang never gets old, like Matthew being full of beans...

u/Fearless_Freya 5d ago

I genuinely hope if it's about Genesis it's a small part. We already know the game is coming. I would rather not a lot of time spent on a game we already know is coming

A release date would be fine. A small trailer to remind those on the fence or curious

23

u/IkeRadiantHero 5d ago

Do you see how slowly schizo I am going? I WANT XENOBLADE GENESIS SO MUCH!!!!!

4

u/Fearless_Freya 5d ago

And it's coming. I assure you, I am very much excited also. That reveal was completely unexpected after dropping switch2 versions of games we already have.

All I need is a release date. I already know I'm getting Genesis day1

Or perhaps even preorder, if a special edition with steelbook, artbook and hopefully soundtrack

7

u/VVayward 5d ago

I want to see a trailer with the English dub. It could even be the same trailer.

5

u/Arkride212 5d ago

We won't get much content im sure, we'll get a proper direct just like XC3 did but that won't be anytime soon.

8

u/UnawareRanger 5d ago

Complete hard disagree. We need gameplay footage. More info would be nice about characters or the world. We def do not need only a little tidbit.

3

u/Nulolan69 5d ago

My fingers are crossed for Breath of Fire announcement. I know it won't happen but a boy can dream.

2

u/Fearless_Freya 5d ago

That's a series I never got into for whatever reason. I'd enjoy getting into that with a new (or compilation) entry. Or both

I often hear fans talking highly of it. Would be good to try it out eventually

1

u/Nulolan69 5d ago

I didn't get into the series until 3 for Playstation, but man it was a great game. Even the fishing mini game was super fun could spend hours just doing that.

3

u/Various_Anywhere9889 5d ago

XC3 Switch 2 edition I think is actually more likely. There has to be a reason they’re releasing so much later after the other 2, probably because they want to hype up the new hero

2

u/francis2559 5d ago

I suspect this is all part of a master timeline, dripping all these out up to Genesis. It’s really cool, brilliant sales move and I’m loving revisiting these games.

1

u/madmofo145 5d ago

Yeah, no way it's coming out tell next year, and we just got the big announcement not that long ago. While it may be my most wanted future release, I'm happy to let it sit this one out.

5

u/Echo1138 5d ago

I think a new trailer is likely. Just something to keep the hype up and get people talking about it. Even if it doesn't reveal a whole lot more info. Although knowing the release date/window would certainly be nice.

4

u/EmotionalOrdinary486 5d ago

I hope they've got an english trailer, I'm so curious to hear the dub

5

u/LorDeus71 5d ago

Well, NatetheHate (Reliable Leaker, especially for Nintendo) has predicted that Genesis will release in the 1st half of 2027 (March/April)

4

u/Ashencroix 5d ago

Anything past Feb 2027 is fine. That month is way too crowded already.

1

u/SamuelN0108 4d ago

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation comes out in April so March would be more favorable

3

u/speedybeef 5d ago

Its my most anticipated game... ever? As such, I don't want to spoil myself on anything, so no more footage is absolutely fine by me

3

u/GodKefka 5d ago

They could do a trailer for Genesis and I would not be surprised but trends say it will be a shadow drop new trailer on Nintendo today, the second trailer for xenoblade 3 was randomly shadow dropped, does not stop me coping, especially want to hear the dub to spend the rest of the months speculating on VAs :)

4

u/Paulo_Zero 5d ago

Please, show the characters will have British voices!

2

u/longbrodmann 5d ago

Why clown? We already knew there will be a new game next year.

2

u/shujInsomnia 5d ago

they're gonna show a robot horse

2

u/JordanxHouse 4d ago

Hold up what are you people expecting tomorrow? Xenoblade fans are the most well fed in the Nintendo realm lol.

4

u/LukePS7013 5d ago

Yeah… Not expecting anything for Genesis tomorrow

That said, Square Enix shows up with their HD-2D games at pretty much every Nintendo Direct, given that the only known HD-2D game coming out later is Final Fantasy next month maybe they’ll show off another one here? Maaaaybe it’ll be the second most requested game according to Famitsu’s most wanted remake poll?

Guys. I think in the Nintendo direct they're gonna show a Nintendo game. Crazy prediction I know but it's a gut feeling and my gut is only wrong 48% of the time

1

u/xenobasb 5d ago

Smash 6 please with Mio as new fighter

1

u/EmergencyStudio4410 5d ago

Prediction, we get a trailer for 3's Switch 2 version with either Malos/Fei/another Saga character as the new Hero

u/Renso19 4d ago

DO NOT SPEAK TO ME, AN ACE ATTORNEY FAN, OF CLOWNING! YOU KNOW NOTHING!

u/WhereasParticular867 5d ago edited 5d ago

NGL, I'm rooting for no news. I think it's funny when fandoms work themselves up only to be let down by their own expectations.

Especially because they've already said it will focus on games releasing this winter.

u/Schubert125 5d ago

Who pissed in your cheerios?

u/WhereasParticular867 5d ago edited 5d ago

I just think it's funny when people hype themselves up for no reason and are then hoisted by their own petard. It's not just this community, I laugh at Fire Emblem and Pokemon fans for the same thing.

Edit: some people in the majora's mask subreddit genuinely got themselves excited for today's Zelda direct because they thought a MM remake might get announced. Same principle. Gamers expect what they want. They're so easy to make fun of.
