"As of May 6, 2007, Nintendo owns controlling interest in the company after Namco Bandai sold 80% of its 96% stake in Monolith Soft to Nintendo. This went into effect May 1, 2007. Later Namco sold the remaining 16%, making Monolith Soft a first-party developer for Nintendo."

I hope this is an action adventure! I don't like card games or turn based RPGs....

if Nintendo never shows stuff at TGS then why are they going to be there if they are fully owned by Nintendo?

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.

I actually preferred the more streamlined card system of the second game compared to the first... :/

The first game's system was awesome too.  Never liked the idea of a card system until playing these games.

oy guys I thought they said they where working on a new WiiU IP so if its for WiiU don't expect it to be an old franchise coming back

don't know about the 3DS title though

I heard that the 3DS one will be a "third game game in the series". Unless they were actually talking about Project X Zone, the best guess is Baiten Kaitos 3. Or something.

Xenoblade 2: Riki's Nopon Adventure!


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

amagawd! Don't SPOIL it!!! I'm not that far in :D



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

When will we learn more about it ?

What time is it in UK GMT0 time ?



Conegamer on 19 September 2012

A game which plays like Xenoblade with similar areas and music, but a bit more fleshed out character development and questing would be nice.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, Famitsu pre-tgs will leak at any moment now... they don't need to be at tgs to have a new game... just piggyback the hype.

But... what you said made sense. Hype-pooper! :D

In fact, it's like 3 years since their last project. I guess it's time to announce it. At latest it should happen next year E3.

BTW, Xenoblade was released in 2009? Right? What have they done since then?


Xenoblade team (now at Tokyo) working on a Wii U game. Kyoto branch working on a 3DS game (not PXZ). Honne (Baten Kaitos) is helming the Kyoto branch so hopefully he's working on that game, be it a new IP or even a BK3. I think two other dudes are working on something as well but don't quote on that/not certain.

So, 3 years working on the new IP. Isn't that a lot of time?


No aside from currently working on Project X Zone for the 3DS, normal development usually takes 12 to 18 months for small games. For RPGs and other heavily invested games like AAA titles, development usually starts 2-3 years before the release. Obviously as some games have shown, development may run longer as well due to other issues appearing while development is going on.
