Xenoblade Chroniclesis a series well known for its emotional stories and beloved characters, but it also has another reputation thanks to original protagonist Shulk. Even those who’ve never played a single Xenoblade game will more than likely be aware of Shulk’s iconic catchphrase “I’m really feeling it!”, mostly thanks to its inclusion in his reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. Ever since, it’s become a bit of a meme amongst the community.
In fact, it’s become so well known that even developer Monolith Soft has been getting in on the fun in the recently releasedXenoblade Chronicles 3: Future RedeemedDLC. First shared on Twitter by TomFawkes, the expansion includes a Shulk voice line in which you can hear the character speak in a slightly depressed, clearly very tired manner ther phrase “I’m not really feeling it”. TomFawkes doesn’t reveal how you set off this line, but you can hear it for yourself in the tweet embedded below.

While Monolith Soft probably thought that this might have just given a few fans a good chuckle at most, the sad version of Shulk’s iconic catchphrase has caused absolute chaos amongst the Xenoblade community. TomFawkes himself has claimed that this voice line is “the saddest part of any Xenoblade game”, a sentiment shared by pretty much everyone reacting in the tweet’s replies and Quote Retweets.
The replies are filled with fans distraught after hearing that their best boy isn’t really feeling it, while others are demanding the person who made Shulk feel this way come forward and suffer the consequences. To be honest, after everything he’s been through up to this point, on top of the general misery of growing older, can you really blame the guy for not feeling like his younger self any more. Maybe once Xenoblade Chronicles 3 wraps up, he can go and chill out on a beach somewhere.
In other Nintendo news, rumors are swirling yet again about next gen Nintendo hardware,this time thanks to a job listing. The company is apparently looking for someone to help with cross-platform development at Nintendo European Research Development in Paris and “go beyond state-of-the-art solutions in these fields, targeting current and next generation Nintendo platforms”. While it doesn’t specify when we’ll be getting new Nintendo hardware, it does confirm that some is in development at the moment. Hopefully, Nintendo will lift the lid on its next console sooner rather than later.
