I saw this video on the Nintendo Channel a few minutes ago and was totally confused. It's listed along side Nintendo first-party games, which hints that it'll be published by Nintendo. Maybe Monolith is developing it?

You are right Vudu.

Any impressions of the game from the staff yet?

NovaQ · « **Reply #8 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:40:30 AM »

Holy crap, this game looks like it could be great! Why would Nintendo slip this announcement out so quietly?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:59:04 AM »

Doesn't fit into their strategy?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 03, 2009, 11:07:17 AM »

maybe they will focus more on it & MH3 at the post E3 conference in Japan.

I like that idea.

Well, it looks like we finally know what they bought Monolith for.

Hmm, it doesn't start with Xeno-, so who's gonna buy it?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2009, 04:15:40 AM »

I'll get it. I plan on getting lots of RPG's for the Wii.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2009, 01:41:28 PM »

Blargh JRPGs.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2009, 02:18:42 PM »

Look for something else then.

broodwars · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2009, 02:28:29 PM »

Looks very promising. I'm a little concerned about the battle system, because the footage reminds me a little of Final Fantasy XII and I hated that game. Still, always great to see a JRPG on the Wii (with a good-looking art style, no less), and I really liked the two Baten Kaitos games on the Cube. Here's hoping we see more of this game very soon.

I just looked at larger versions of the screen shots and Nintendo need to modify the Galaxy engine for this game.
What are they using to program this? this looks like an early GC game.

It looks decent in motion & I can only guess that this game is still early since they never bothered to mentioned it @ E3. But the graphics look basic and lazy, even though the art style looks ok.

This is really early footage but I'll take it looking like an early GC game over looking like an early PS2 game, which so many games in the Wii library resemble. Hell, most Wii games don't even look as good artistically as FF X on the PS2, and that game came out in 2001.

What the hell is with this engine talk? An engine doesn't magically make the art assets look great.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:28:58 AM »

But the engine is what will allow for a higher poly count, better textures & more effects while maintaining a smooth frame rate of 60 frames per sec.

And like I said, I figured the game was still early by looking at the pics, but if they are still using the engine from BK on GC then its no wonder their game looks like a GC game.

Maybe it looks bad cuz it's not about cutscenes, so they're in new territory?

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2009, 12:35:57 PM »

FYI, this wasn't playable on the E3 show floor. Also, no one at Nintendo seemed to know anything about it.

Well they didn't even bother to mention it at the Conference , and I don't think it was ever formally announced, so its not surprising that it wasn't playable and no one actually knew about it.
