-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?

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.

It's a spinoff of Xenosaga, and please show me links of.

It's owned by Nintendo and made by a studio that is owned by Nintendo.

How can it not be a Nintendo game?

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"

Yeah, Namco had stakes. That doesn't mean crap though because Nintendo owned the majority of Monolith. The game was pitched directly to nintendo. When the game released, Namco had sold all of it's stakes to Nintendo.

It's a new IP in the same way Xenosaga is a Namco IP.
