Having played Xenoblade on Dolphin, using a 360 controller, I don't really think that it's suited for such a small screen. The environments are huge, and without the feeling of "I can see everything"... I don't think it will really shine. It was the key element that I remember while playing it. I just feel like, with it being on a small screen, it won't have that wow factor.
The reality is that it's a great game... but it's not a portable game. It's a deeply involved game where you need to remember story elements and what you're doing, otherwise it would be deadly confusing.
I'm probably just a bit old-school and think that massive epic RPGs like this don't come across properly on a handheld console. It needs a decent screen, and it needs to not hurt your neck to stare at it for hours.
