Is Nintendo Releasing a New Xenosaga Game?
Follow this if you can. Nintendo bought Xenosaga developer Monolith Software a while back. At last year’s E3, the studio was said to be developing a Wii RPG titled Monado: Beginning of the World. Today, an official release list from Nintendo provided a strong hint that Monado’s name has been changed to Xenoblade. So, there’s a game with the four letters “Xeno” in the title, and it’s being developed by the developer of Xenosaga. Is it reasonable to assume that Nintendo is releasing a new entry in the Xenosaga series? The Xenoblade name appears in a first party release list in a just released Nintendo financial report. The game is listed as set for Japanese release this Spring. Aside from the time frame, the report contains no details on the game. The reason we have a feeling Xenoblade is a new name for Monado is due to a slipup of sorts on Nintendo’s part. In the English version of the financial report, the release list for the Japanese market has a listing for Xenoblade but no Monado.
