Xenoblade Chronicles coming to the Nintendo 3DS, but only to the new models

The second big megaton to drop during the last Nintendo Direct?

Well it’s that Xenoblade Chronicles is headed to the Nintendo 3DS. There’s a catch however, it’s coming to the new Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL models only. It’s also only for Japan, naturally at this stage.

The game will make use of the improved power of the new CPU that the new systems have. The old models will not be able to run it.

What do you think of this move, will you buy a new New Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL just for this game? Do you feel robbed if you don’t want to upgrade?
