Finally, the kind of recognition X deserves from the press. Most Anticipated: X.
I'm not going to quote anything because it's all worth reading. I will say one thing, though: as the article's stated, we should be glad that Nintendo has the pockets to fuel Takahashi's ambitions, while also possessing the wisdom to know when to reign in on him. I just can't wait to see what kind of insane and wonderful shit he and his team are going to pull off with X.
Bless you, Yamagami. Bless you!History seemed set to repeat with Xenoblade Chronicles, Takahashi's most recent title, published by Nintendo in 2011, a game set on a pair of gigantic bipedal statue gods. Midway through the project the team encountered a raft of difficulties and, realising they would miss the launch deadline, a deflated Takahashi met with Hitoshi Yamagami, the Nintendo producer who oversees RPG development, to suggest a list of deadline-aiding compromises. But Yamagami rejected the plan and told the designer: "You've come this far. You should see it through to the end. I'll convince the others at the company."
I feel this needs to be quoted.
Bless you, Yamagami. Bless you!
Eurogamer said:Takahashi stated that he aims to "create the biggest game world possible for the Wii U." Considering Xenoblade Chronicles' world was estimated to be roughly equivalent in size to Japan's archipelago, that's an awful lot of landscape to cover.
Thanks for the article, onilink88, it was a good read. This was a new quote for me:
Xenoblade is only 5% of the game he originally envisioned, and X might be the full realization of that ambition. Xenoblade was already a JRPG of unprecedented scale; the mind boggles at attempting to picture a game twenty times its size. If X really is that game, I don't think any of us know what we're really in for yet.
Here's my question, with what we've seen of X, does it surpass Skyrim? At least on PS360?
Monolith specifically said their goal was to do just that.
So graphically and whatnot, how does it compare? How big is Skyrim?
A few things.
1. That isn't what they meant. They didn't say they would surpass Skyrim. They said they wanted to show that Japanese developers could keep up with studios like Bethesda. Which X clearly shows on a technical and graphical level.
2. It's an apples to oranges comparison anyway. They use completely different style and techniques.
3. We haven't seen a finished product for X, yet. Even the last gameplay video was still a work in progress and had some major changes from even a year ago. We don't know the size of the world or how detailed it is.
X should only come out when its absolutely ready. If it comes out in 2015 - so be it! You don't develop a game for a couple of years only to rush it in the final stages. NO! Make it as good as it can be and it will pay off in the end.
I can't wait for the E3 to see the reveal of Zelda for the Wii U, I hope it's godly.
I will be buying a Wii U for X alone, Xenoblade is the best RPG I've ever had the joy of playing, So much content and stuff to do/explore put so many hours into it.
Any news on who is doing the OST?, Xenoblades OST is "in my opinion" cream of the crop.

Well, Sawano is certainly the biggest composer there. It definitely has a different musical style from Xenoblade. Lots of opera and rock. Which I like. I really liked the battle music we heard in the gameplay video.Sawano.
Sawano.
Thanks, Suppose I could of just wiki'd that lol, Anyone know if ACE+ will be back at least?, The composers of Xenoblade are amazing I know nothing of Sawano.
Why does Mario Kart 8 have a May 14 release date?
May '14 as in May 2014, not May 14th (or 14 May if you prefer).
Probably should be updated to reflect the exact launch date.
Not to be shallow, but the hype of the Zelda U reveal is going to be 100% based on it's artstyle and graphics.

First time I saw Watch Dogs, I thought it was incredible and pre-ordered it.
So the time passed, and I played Assassin's Creed III and IV, and got extremely disappointed with III and did not like some features on IV, I cancelled the pre-oder, and
now I would rather wait and see what the game has the offer.
Hey fellas! I've purchased Assassin's Creed IV, Batman Arkham Origins and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, each at/under $20! I've never played an AC nor a SC before, and I thought Arkham City was an entertaining game (even if I've yet to finish it...). How did you guys like these games on the Wii U? Any impressions, things to keep in mind?
I have AC3 and AC4 brought them cheap dont really care much for the series but i'm still hyped for Watch Dogs, I doubt they will feel too much the same.
Edit: I find this kind of generalizations annoying because I bet there are many people who wouldn't care if the game loooks like Skyward Sword or The Wind Waker in terms of art-style, really.
I think the most important is the content, though
Sawano did Taiyou no Uta; it's going to be amazing.Sawano is mostly an Anime composer. He's done themes for Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill and Gundam Unicorn and various other shows.
This is his first time composing a video game. We don't know the rest of the musical staff, sadly.
Yeah, but when we're talking about hype, we're not talking about sensibility. Hype is based solely on "gee-whiz" visuals and bigger numbers.
I feel this needs to be quoted.
Bless you, Yamagami. Bless you!

Hello Wii U bros,
back after a game and gaf-less len.
What do I start playing now that gaming has me back?
The choices are:
Tropical Freeze
Rayman Legends
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
Haven't really played any of them. Suggestions? DK because it's the most recent?
Have you played Fire emblem Path of Radiance? Radiant Dawn is a follow up and I've heard its less enjoyable on its own due to being quite an imbalanced game.

Haven't played Radiant Dawn, but both DK and Rayman are amazing games. Don't miss out on them. If you can only pick one for now, I'd recommend DK.Hello Wii U bros,

So I just got Sonic Racing Transformed. Any advice before I start? Does anybody still play it online?
It probably is 2014 and will come out around the time of the movie.
Out of curiosity, where does it say that the Fatal Frame movie is going to be released in 2014? I may have missed it.
