Previously announced at E3 2009 as Monado, this is Tetsuya Takahashi's next major RPG project due for release on the Wii in Japan in Spring 2010. It is being developed by Monolith Soft, the studio behind Xenosaga.

Also, I don't think this deserves a thread, but the Metroid: Other M teaser site is open: http://metroid.jp/

AWESOME MUSIC

I'm not too big into Xeno games.
 

Wait... Other M is a Final Fantasy game?

By the way, Hironobu Sakaguchi and Mistwalker AND Nintendo are developing a new JRPG for Wii called The Last Story: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/slsj/index.html

Seems to be Final, but will it be Fantasy?

Killing Master Erauqs in Birth by Sleep now seems to be a threat from Squeenix.
 

I couldn't really get into Xenosaga. The gameplay always seemed to put me to sleep. Xenoblade looks interesting though. The mechas have that lost ancient advance technology feel. Which wills me with fangirl level glee. X3

Lightning's been known to strike twice.

Xenogears was awesome. Amazing. Really.
(Well, Disc 1 of Xenogears was awesome, anyway.)

Xenosaga was, in my opinion, a real disappointment. A step backwards in storytelling, and several steps backwards in terms of gameplay.

Not sure how I should feel about Xenoblade.

Is it me or the Xenoblade site song (and Monado trailer song) sounds A LOT like Yoko Shimomura?

I'm also hearing the The Last Story track and it gives me a Nobuo Uematsu vibe. He composed for Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, after all.

I am approaching Metroid: Other M with extreme caution. The trailer from way back when was cool and all, but also gave me the feeling that Team Ninja (they're the ones doing it, right?) don't really get it. I dunno, we'll see, I guess. Change is fine so long as the spirit remains.

...

We have Samus in a city. With PEOPLE, and no suit of armor.

The chances of her becoming another Lara Croft are approaching over 50%...
