Official Site: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/sx4j/index.html

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.

Awesome pic:

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

AWESOME MUSIC

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?

I feel kinda bad for Sakaguchi, since Mistwalker seems to be failing from everything I've heard. It seems he seems to be trying for the same thing Square pulled with Final Fantasy, but I don't have high hopes for him.

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.

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

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.

They're doing it, yeah, but with the support, teamwork, and more importantly supervision of Nintendo. So if the game winds up being the Unmetroid or whatever, to me the blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the big N.

Anywho, second impressions are... eh. Other than potentially good voice acting this doesn't seem to... y'know. It's just a well drawn thing set to music. I can't base expectations on that. Show me some gameplay, or cutscenes, or even sample some of the music and I can dig it. Even screenshots would suffice. But this doesn't make me think "This game will rock!" or "This game will suck!". It makes me think "This game will... uh... exist. Yay."
