Nopons would have made an appearance in full HD glory
They're saving them for the E3 trailer, so that everyone can go 'oh shit, Nopons'.

bah.
Does Xenoblade run a little better on the Wii U? A little less aliasing, menus loading a little faster or something? Or does the Wii U downscale to Wii's power when it's running Wii games?
If there is one thing i hate about Xenoblade, it's how long it takes to go from one menu to another.

Tetsuya Takahashi actually expressed that if he had more development time he would of liked to of sorted out the menu system to make it less clunky.
So I'm expecting X won't have that problem.

You're missing two of the best JRPGs ever made. In fact, they are my top 1 and 2.
You will need WiiMotes and Nunchuks for a LOT of Wii U games anyway, so it's not like you can skip them. Xenoblade can be played with the Classic Controller, though.

never noticed this so I can't really tell. Last I checked the Wii Mode still does keep it's resolution settings from the Wii U side, so if you have your Wii U set at SD 480p that is what you get, I am playing on a 50" 720P panasonic plasma so I have noticed the game looks different from when I play it off my Wii plugged into the same TV
Wii U has a better scaler than my TV
I have not noticed any other benefits you cannot change slow ass code with better hardware I would guess. Check the Bayonetta PS3 framerate complaints on the latest PSN thread

you know how we complained certain landmarks in xenoblade (the super high places on bionis' leg) being unreachable? the spot where you pick up the mech is actually on that weird looking floating rock structure.
amazing!
amazing!

Does your TV's scaler leave a 1 inch black border on all 4 sides of your screen?

we are pretty sure this is not Bionis though, still not sure what is a supper high place that is not unreachable on Bionis except the cut map that is still in the code which hackers play and post youtube videos of
my TV is one of those crappy old pannies that have Overscan you cannot turn off so I have those edges cut off

Only skimmed it, but with some facts missing it looks like they guys own interpretation and nothing more.
For example, it says
"we learn through this discourse in space what Zanza never wanted us to learn. That he himself was human once", when in fact, neither he nor Maynus have any memories prior to their birth as gods.
+1. I played it on Dolphin and it looked fabulous. Plus, there's a high res texture pack for the game to make it even better looking.

One day I'll have a good mac that can run this thing too many people keep talking about it like it's a gift from Miyamoto. They won't even accept the new Wind Waker because they are spoiled by Dolphin hax.
I really want the Wii U to have an official Xenoblade HD

It may look like it is Xenoblade Monster Hunter Game.
I agree that it does look like it but I can firmly disagree with that claim because Xenoblade have done that before.
Perhaps I can elaborate more.
"X" game will have the story rather than going out of the town to hunt monsters in the whole world.
Monster Hunter doesn't have solid story at all but they earned their own unique kind of the game. It is very good game that you can just hunt monsters with no story.
My point is that "X" game won't be very rewarding if you kill those monsters like MH does. You just kill monsters to get the progress for the story-line like Xenoblade.

Nice.
I like the mech designs.
Doesn't even look that good.
I look clearer than that.
I see. Well, despite not getting all of her facts right, I do maintain that she presents some interesting views on the game' symbolism and whatnot. Oh well.

If Monsters still drop gold chests that is good stuff, I think people are saying Monster Hunter because the HD Wii U version is so close to release and has had a lot of media attention so it is the image that is fresh. If Japan feels this has something in common with MonHun it can only be good for the sales of this game. Maybe there is even hunting quests in this game lol
I don't see MonHun in this game at all because I don't have any experience with that series
I start to think people see Monster Hunter in any game with giant creatures I remember a Vita game by Sony being accused of that (Soul Sacrifice)

I wonder if we will see anything like this in X

Also, I feel that the first thirty-one seconds of the trailer piece lends to that kind of atmosphere. (Of course, they could've scrapped the whole UFO concept in the end.)
WiiU Gamepad res!
At 0:46, when he's attacking mech/monster/thing, someone falls off:
There's 2 people playing in this shot (the MC and 'Tester'), so could this be player 2? If so, what was she doing up there? It'd be cool if you could climb the larger monsters and attack from different angles. It's something I wanted to do a lot in Xenoblade, since there were so many fights against huge enemies where you spent the entire battle staring at their knees because you needed to be close to get your attacks in.

Do you think the characters may be part of some type of unit or squadron who have crash landed from another planet in space? (Takahashi would make this sound a lot cooler, obviously
Sounds likely, and would fit in with the "exploring new worlds" ending as well as the section actually in space in Xenoblade.
It's not really that soon, it just feels like it because Xenoblade launched so late in the west.

Frame by frame analysis shows that the player just got knocked into the air by the shockwave created by the monster stomping.
But Xenoblade came out in June 2010 in Japan which means Monolith has had 2,5 years to prepare this new game.

You guys need to watch the youtube trailer in 720p fullscreen and his spacebar to pause every few seconds there are so much details... I've found yet 2 more Colony(base) structures wow

Oh, I don't doubt her views are interesting, and I personally enjoy thinking about hidden meanings behind a games story, I was just warning you not to take it as fact. By all means read it, enjoy it, but form your own views.
^ If you mean the one at 0:55, that might be the same one as shown with the Doll-bike.
Still too compressed D:
Its not just speculation, really. Not with the amount of evidence which says it is.
where?
That's what I was doing earlier. There's a crapton of detail everywhere.
oh boy, that colony looks huge...
Colony, huh? Well, the way I see it, that might just be the ship they landed on. Doesn't it look a bit round to you?
Here's two:
EDIT: I hate compressed-to-shit trailers... Massive disservice against something this beautiful.
