The lights are on
Monolith Soft, the studio behind the recently released Wii title Xenoblade Chronicles, is creating a new game for Wii U. No other details are known at this time, but we can only assume Monolith's talents are not going to be used on a Mii party game, or a sequel to Disaster: Day of Crisis. The hope is that this team is working on another JRPG. Crossing my fingers that this studio is also eying a re-release of Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii U.
Special thanks go out to GI reader Hayden R. for the news tip!

HELL YEAH! I unfortunately still haven't beat Xenoblade, but I will...and I definitely support anything Monolith is doing.
More great news for the Wii U.
Now HERE'S a good reason to own a Wii U! I can't wait to see what these guys have in store.
I'm thrilled to hear this, but know full well how Reggie mistreated their last game--basically ignoring it for two years and only releasing it when it was already localized in English and only because they had no other games coming out--and then, they grossly limited it's release to only one store chain, and didn't advertise it.
Basically, I guess if you like Reggie, you hate Xenoblade Chronicles and Monolith Soft. Because he sure as hell hated that game.
Disaster: Day of Crisis is fantastic, Reiner. What are you talking about?
As someone who is currently in the middle of Xenoblade (according to a walkthrough guide that I looked at only to see how far I was in the game) and 60 hours deep, I can easily say this game is amazing and the team behind it I give a lot of credit too. For those of you who have played it, you know what I am talking about. To those of you who have yet to get this game....shame on you! This is amazing news to hear that they are working something for WiiU. Let us hope that we get at least 2 games from this developer this system cycle, because I can easily say that, as an RPG fan, Xenoblade is one of the best games of the year, and anything from this team will be a welcome addition to a current roster that is lacking in the RPG scene.
That'd be cool, an HD remake of Xenoblade. But, I honsetly hope for something new. And perhaps not branded 'Xeno'.
