Forums - Nintendo - So can someone tell me again how is Xenoblade considered a Nintendo game?

-First of all not directed by corporate Nintendo

-Was developed when the company still had stakes in Namco Bandai

-It's a spiritual sequel of Xenosaga and Xenogears

-Monolith was given creative liberty, so no it's not the same case as Pokemon

-The game was made entirely by their studio, and had no direction or assistance from any of the Nintendo studios.

-Shulk is even next to the third party characters on Smash, meaning they don't even really consider him main Nintendo either. 

Please tell me how is this game Nintendo?  Can we count 007 and Baynoetta as Nintendo also? 



3DS I.D : 3282-2755-4646

I make bad threads.  

SSB really went downhill after Melee....

Because Nintendo owns Monlith Soft. They've owned Monolith Soft since 2008, when this game started development. So you are spreading false info in your OP.

because Nintendo owns 100% of Monolith, it's an internal studio

96% actually, but pretty much.

How can it not be a Nintendo game?

Lol. Nice try. You could have just looked a couple of things up.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Just wanted to state: So beautiful FE art.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

It's interesting because the boxart of both versions in Japan are in the image.

Nintendo owns Monolith Soft...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Didn't Bandai have stakes in Nintendo at the time Xenoblade was being made? Also it an offshoot of an older franchise not on nintendo platform, so how o you consider it "a new nintendo ip"
