Monolith Soft Wii U game (a.k.a. Xenoblade 2)

[Fazermint]

I finally have a reason to get a Wii U:
Wii U - Monolith Soft Trailer

This is the best-looking game I've ever seen. I mean, the one-minute trailer was enough to convince me to buy a Wii U for the sole purpose of playing that game!

The game bears a striking resemblance to Xenoblade Chronicles. That, and the big 'X' in the trailer are pretty clear clues: We're getting a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles, or at least a new installment in the Xeno series. Either way, I'm psyched!

I've heard about that one. I fucking loved the first one, so I'm definitely picking up the second.

Xenoblade Chronicles is awesome I'm playing through it again, gonna 100% it this time.

Monolith Soft has a lot of good games. Some quick googlin' led me to these games:
- Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier [DS] (played this one already, it was an entertaining RPG that never took itself seriously. Cool battle system with over-the-top combos)
- Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans [DS] (Finally, a proper Dragon Ball RPG! The battle system is more traditional than SRT Endless Frontier, but the flashy moves and combos remind me of it)
- The two Baten Kaitos games [GameCube] (heard of these before. They are often called 'underrated gems', so I'm looking forward to playing them)
- Xenosaga series [PS2] (Y U NO EUROPEAN RELEASE )
- And some more Japan-only games.
- And the team is also of course responsible for Xenogears [PS], when they were still part of Square.

Endless Frontier is a TON of fun. I wish they would have translated + released the second game though.

Yep, one of my favorite DS games DS translations are lacking, even in the romhacking scene :/
