During their recent Direct livestream, Nintendo revealed that the critically acclaimed Wii game Xenoblade Chronicles will be coming to its portable system...well in Japan anyway.

The title was universally praised by critics and fans alike. It is often considered one of the best Wii games of all time. Unfortunately, the game was released at the end of the Wii's life cycle. Due to that, (and a very low distribution run), it never got the audience it deserved. It's nice that the game is being given a second chance.

However, the game will only work on the recently announced New 3DS, because the CPU in the older models won't be able to run the game.
