  • Monolith Soft Reveals X, Could Be Xenoblade Chronicles Sequel

    Monolith Soft and Nintendo revealed a brand new game codenamed X during Nintendo Direct. The game looks and plays very similarly to Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) but we’re still not sure if its a sequel as Nintendo is simply labeling it as “a new game from Monolith Soft,”. Check out the debut trailer below:

    The development is led by Director and Studio Head Tetsuya Takahashi, his previous works include Xenoblade Chronicles and previous Xeno games. The Character Design is being done by Kunihiko Tanaka responsible for Xenogears (PS1) and Xenosaga Episode 1 (PS2).  The Soundtrack is being done by Japanese film, TV and anime composer veteran Hiroyuki Sawano.

    Below are some screens from the trailer:

    I personally think the game looks brilliant. The soundtrack, characters and world look very interesting, and don’t forget about the mechs! The game will also have multiplayer which is rare in JRPGs so it could turn out to be very promising.

  • Xenoblade Developers Monolith Soft Challenging US Developers With Next Gen Wii U Title

    Now Xenoblade was a great game, it was my favorite game of last year and in my very humble opinion the best JRPG of this generation. Now developers of Xenoblade Chronicles Monolith Soft have issued a statement which fans of the Eastern style of games would very much appreciate.

    With their now confirmed next gen Wii U title they aim to show the world that Japan can still produce great games. Hirohide Sugira is an executive producer at Monolith while Michihiko Inaba is part of the dev team.

    Inaba: “I’d like to make an HD game that will wow the players. I want to show that Japan can still keep up with the USA when it comes next gen technology. Our goal is to become something like the developers of the Fallout series, Bethesda Softworks.”

    Sugira: “I believe that today’s Japanese gaming industry has lost its touch, and we’d like to do something to change that.”

    Now I’m not sure comparing yourself with Bethesda is smart, we don’t want buggy games after all. Now don’t go searching for your pitchforks just yet, that was a joke.
