Is the opening voice Kai from Heavenly Sword! Omgee it sounds so much like her! I have no clue who did the voice work for her. I don't know voice actors or actresses.

I'm pretty excited for this title. However I might have to wait awhile to get it. 

Lydia Baksh voiced Kai. I can't confirm or deny that it's her in Xenoblade.

So basically they look the same, New 3DS just has a more muted color pallet?

I'm impressed that the new 3DS can even equal what it looked like on the Wii but I think it might look even better in some ways.

I guess I lik some of the outfit changes. I never played the game, but I do prefer the brighter look of the Wii version. Still impressive what the New 3DS can do based on that trailer though.

If you think the 3DS can run a Wii game with a 1:1 ratio then that is an acheivement in itself. While I would have liked an HD remake, we are getting that with new Xenoblade, but this way more people will be able to experience the classic game.

I wasn't expecting HD. Hell, I had no expectations, never played the game and didn't know this was coming out. Just thought they looked similar, only I prefer the brighter color pallette on the Wii version. Still impressive how similar they look.

huh.  skin tones look better on 3DS.  

Nintendo needs to shut up and take my money.  

Damn man. Colours and Textures really pop on the 3DS. Glad I have the Wii version, my New 3DS is coming this week 

Damn you Ash! I'm so jealous. Eventually I will have one too. I hope. :)

Aside from colors, i can't really tell much of a difference.

You know what game would instantly make me want to buy a New 3DS?  If Capcom finished and released Mega Man Legends 3.

Its OK. Still Xenoblade.  

Just seems like the coloring and lighting a little different. Not enough to get me to fork out for a New 3DS yet, not when I already own the game on the Wii. Really hoping to play it this year though.

Unrelated, but I'm surprised how many people are posting BaD weekend blogs. Crazy. I was happy for the break.

I'm still getting it even if it looks the same. I'll need something new to try on the New 3DS.

That's pretty impressive. Other than a slightly muted color, the only other thing I noticed is that the Nu3DS version didn't show the head equipment that the Wii version had, though that could just be a difference in the footage itself than what the system is capable of.

I've heard the download speeds are much better on the new 3DS as well.
