Baten Kaitos hasn't been a commercial success has it? I don't see why they would make another. Although I'd love it.

Yeah, they both flopped pretty bad, IIRC. It was a miracle that we even got BK2.

EDIT: Just checked and BK1 put up respectable numbers (w/o Japan sales). BK2 bomba... :(

Baten Kaitos 2 had an awful card system in comparison to the first game.

In terms of why the series is special, it is mainly because it put up an impressive graphical display on the Gamecube during its time. The use of color and such in BK 1 was very good.....but voices sucked for some characters.

A new Baten Kaitos game would be great, but I'm not sure that Nintendo will be publishing it. Who owns the rights to the franchise? Also, who would think it'd be a good idea sales-wise?

Regardless, I'm 99% sure that the announcement is the 3DS game, since information about it had came out well before Monolith started hiring for what appeared to be a Wii U project.

OMG! A thousand times YES!!!! lol

If this is related to project X zone, I will be soooo disapointed.

The way Xenoblade ended, I don't see the possibility of a sequel, and I'm not even sure if I even want one. Xenoblade's story ended, it was great and it's better left alone. That being said, the mention of Rikki in that tweets may be a hint that this will be Xenoblade related. Way to soon for a HD version, so I have no idea what this is.

I hope for a Xenosaga game cause I've never had the chance to play any of these and I've heard great things from that franchise. That or a new IP. But plzzzz, don't be about Project X zone :S
