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.
What do you think Monolith’s Wii U title is? A Xenoblade sequel? A brand new Xeno game? Baiten Kaitos maybe? Or a brand new IP? Let us know in the comments below.
