Here's a Quick Glimpse of Monolith Soft's New Wii U RPG

this video is also know as holy fucking shit

You can make the argument that Alex is the Dane Cook of Giantbomb, but c'mon. It’s different when it’s a woman, this is over the line, and Lenny Bruce should have known better.

I can't fucking wait.

If this is related to Xenogears and gets rid of that Xenosaga crap. I'm sold. I mean It looks incredibly fun just from the short trailer. And this looks like it has some MMO styled interface, If you can play it with friends that would just increase its greatness.

The interface looks almost exactly like Xenoblade's.

Looks like it has potential

This game is a system seller cant wait to see more at e3. The more i see of wiiu games the less i think of getting a next box or ps4.

@ChosenOne: Good news, those are both happening but one's a Yoshi game and Fire Emblem's crossing over with Shin Megami Tensei

Bummer, both of those caveats are deal breakers. I'm kidding of course, I couldn't be more psyched. I guess I really shouldn't have skipped over that Nintendo Direct article, lol.

I really hope those icons are just skills and it doesn't have the same battle system as Xenoblade, I hate not being in direct control of my attacks.

@AssInAss: Wrong Monolith.

Man, I just went to Nintendo's site to try and buy Xenoblade Chronicles and apparently it's just totally out of stock everywhere. Goshdangit.

OH WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IN THIS GAME? I BET IT'Z SAVING THE WORLD OR SOME BULLSHIT, STUPID JRPGS. 
 
Oh, and this actually looks really great.

I feel the world is ready for a game with doll fuel.

I'm going to have to buy a Wii U aren't I?

Man, Monolith really has gone soft from making horror games to now JRPGs.

Goes from big open untouched landscape with a guy with a sword to fucking robots, god damnit these games are stupid.

I suddenly really want a Wii U. Xenoblade did so much right, and it looks like they're taking all of that momentum in the right direction.

Now I don't feel so bad that I bought a wiiu.

came for pupil horror, did see any of it..

I really liked Xenoblade Chronicles and if this is a sequel to that then that might be a reason to get a Wii-U for me. That and Zombi-U.

Stop picking on those defenseless animals.

This looks like Xenoblade in HD. I approve.

Adding transforming mecha? I approve.

Big ol' red X reminiscent of Xenogears? I approve.

This looks fantastic.

Ooo that music.

If this reviews well, id buy a wii u for this

It wouldn't be a JRPG if someone didn't have a giant sword.

And lots of leather and buckles.

Xenoblade x Mecha suits

Goddamn, Nintendo, after this and SMT X FE, just take my freaking wallet.

Well that looks pretty great. Nintendo really knocked it out of the park today.

... Another Xeno game.

Welp, I'm ready.

It wouldn't be a JRPG if someone didn't have a giant sword.

STOP STICKING WEAPONS TO CHARACTER'S BACKS AS IF BY MAGIC! D:

This, and characters' feet not properly impacting stairs and ladders, were pretty much solved in Demon's Souls. Almost every weapon and shield semi-realistically attaches directly to the back in spots where most armor sets should be able to fasten it.

Other so called AAA developers need to get with the program and not cut the same corners over and over when photorealism is their goal.

This all-gameplay trailer is a pretty stark contrast to the all-CG Elder Scrolls trailer.

The crazy thing is this still looks kind of impressive.

Time for some more robo-lady thong butt cracks.

@shadyspace: Had it been anyone other then Alex it probably wouldn't have been as sarcastic.

Looks like a more-bland and less-colourful Xenoblade... considering the wonderful, painterly art direction was the one thing in that game that kept me slogging through it for as long as I did, this one doesn't look like it's gonna do it for me... unless they're just holding off on showing the pretty stuff, that is.

I'm always excited for new RPGs but I very much didn't like Xenoblade and this is obviously some sort of sequel to it. It looks like the combat is similar which was my main complaint about Xenoblade.

I don't know what this game is, but it is definitely pretty, especially in comparison to Xenoblade.

I haven't gone through all of the comments, so has anybody pointed out that this looks like a multiplayer game? At one point you can see a chat log and later in the trailer you can see other people fighting monsters off in the distance.

This actually looks pretty exciting. Xenoblade, crossed with Monster Hunter (With giant beasts and limb targeting), and with transforming mech suits. Hope they: 1. Manage to keep it accessible to attract people on-the-fence with Monster Hunter. 2. Bring it over to the US and Europe in a timely manner this time.

Trailer itself isn't too thrilling, except for its implications. Considering it was my Game of the Year, I'm totally on board for another Xenoblade.

Here's to hoping it wasn't a fluke!

Who says it's not magic?

I got goosebumps when the music kicked in @ the 34 second mark and when the character jumped into the mech. I hope this game comes out in the next year or so.

I had not even given the Wii U any thought.....then I saw this!

You had me at Tetsuya Takahashi

It looks a heck of a lot like Xenoblade. Probably a sequel.

Whoa! Looks awesome. Wii U though.....can't see myself getting one anytime soon.
