Forums - Nintendo - Monolithsoft working on unannounced WiiU game

source

Xenoblade developer Monolithsoft has revealed that it is developing a Wii U game. The studio updated its job solicitation page today with notice that it is seeking staff to work on a project for Nintendo's next generation hardware.

This actually isn't the first we've heard about this mysterious project from Monolith, although it is the first time the Wii U name has been associated with the game. The studio has been seeking staff for a new project since last year. Back in June, it updated the employment page, stating that the mystery project was expanding.

Positions mentioned at the recruitment page are mostly unchanged from then. The studio is seeking programmers (those with Havok and Shader experience), planners, 3D CG artists, 2D designers (those with character and mecha design experience), effect designers, motion designers, and office staff.

Monolithsoft is the developer of Xenoblade and Disaster Day of Crisis. The studio is a subsidiary of Nintendo, but has also worked with Namco Bandai on a number of projects. The recruitment page does not say if the new game is set to be published by Nintendo or another publisher.

Well I'm not going to get excited. I remember drooling over Disaster Day of Crisis and anticipating the game so much just to find out Europe got it but we here in NA did not. Their next game better be coming here or I really don't care about it. I mean come on Nintendo you should have brought Disaster here.

Another awesome JRPG that will never see the light of day here in NA.



I heard about this from ONM, awesome news. I'm expecting a mid 2013 release in Japan and about a year after here in Europe.




Let's wait and see what they come with. Another Baten Kaitos? Another action game like Disaster?

Anyway let's hope the game launches worldwide.

Which is why Nintendo should start following Sony's lead and making these consoles region free.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Just like the 3 games they made this gen (XB, D:DoC and Soma Bringer), this one won't see the light in NA. I wouldn't be too surprised if NoA keeps on focusing solely on causal franchises and the usual Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda.
