How exactly is Xenoblade a third party game? Monolith Soft is owned by Nintendo.
| BaldrSkies said: I don't understand why some people think Xenoblade is a new IP. The Xeno series has been around for a long time, you'd think nobody has ever played Xenogears or Xenosaga. Just changing setting and/or combat system isn't enough to call it a new IP. Under that logic half the mainline and nearly all the side Final Fantasy games would be "new IP". |
Xenoblade is a new IP since Nintedo does not own Xenosaga or Xenogears. The only thing thats similar is the use of Xeno in the name.
You also dont think Super Metroid is the same IP as Super Mario right? Just using Super in both games doesnt make it the same IP. Same would go for Super Mario Kart and Super Mario world also 2 different IPs.
