Monado: Beginning of The World - E3 2009 - Wii

[Yoshi17th]

looking at the game now, at 1:00 with dunban, the game's intro/cinematics are WAY better than that haha, they've come a long way eh

[Ryudo9]

I imported it. Played the hell out of it. My fave game this gen and buying the US version as well just to support it

[Flash11I19]

@Ryudo9

I bought it too, I live in switzerland, and its the best game I have ever played. I am happy that its getting a US release, the americans really need to experience this masterpiece.

[Tkman22]

THIS HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR A US RELEASE UNDER THE NAME "Xenoblade Chronicles". IT WILL BE RELEASED APRIL 2, 2012. Support it guys, it's been a LONG 3 years!

[DanielGClapp]

Any news of this being released in 2012?

[RidleyFFXI]

Go to google and search for operation rainfall and go to their blogspot page and support them. They are working hard to get these games in American and they are taking the right path to get it done.

[ShadowWolfRising]

we can haz Xenoblade?

[tiakpark]

Just pre-ordered this thing on Amazon. It damn well better come to the states!

[airmanmilan]

nintendo is dead in the west. the momentum and enthusiasm felt by the american community for nintendo peaked at the turn of the decade between 80's and 90's, gently sloping downwards following the release of the last wave of groundbreaking, quality games of the SNES era. despite the powerful community brought about by smash bros, nintendo has failed to rekindle even a spark of the game-playing fervor that made it the king of gaming in previous years. i'm sorry todays gamers cant experience that.

[77982]

For 60buks Available for preorder

[77982]

Its actually on amazon.com Look it up

[MrHP25]

I don't get it, why would Nintendo show this at an American event if they don't plan to bring the game to the US? Either we've been misinformed, or Nintendo's a bigger jerk than people are giving it credit for..

[tupac4life84]

@MrHP25 its being release in america

[MrHP25]

@tupac4life84 I don't mean to be skeptical, but the only links I've seen supporting this have been either a. sketchy at best, or b. only rumors. Unless you can give me a link with an OFFICIAL announcement, I shall continue to remain confused about NOA's tactics.

[smithtony12able]

go to  watch?v=1MmL3hA20sY&feature=re­lmfu and show your support

[Knowledgeseeker]

Everyone support Operation Rainfall. Help us bring Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower to North America.

Nintendo of Europe knows how to treat its fans because it is localizing these games without them needing to beg for it. Nintendo of America on the other hand has disregarded us continuously. It is time to get them to stop being lazy and localize these games to the North American market.

Let all of us gamers unite for this cause and put an end to lazy localization policies.

[TheEvilCobra]

ff7?

[IblisLucario64]

@TheEvilCobra some of the people that made ff7 made this

[shikakiri]

sounds like kingdom hearts soundtrack lol

[surfergurl268]

holy shit, this and the last story are coming to america!!! but since youtube is being gay and doesnt let me post the links message me if you wan to read the proof! fuck yea!!!

[hypermetalsonic]

So whats the big deal about this game?? Saw IGN had some article about it being the top reserved thing on Amazon or something..

tbh it looks kinda mediocre. why so much hype?

[MrHP25]

@hypermetalsonic two words: Operation Rainfall

[icarus212001]

Everyone: There is currently a large amount of people bombarding the Nintendo Facebook page with demands to bring this, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower and other non-imported Nintendo exclusives over the the States. Let's show them that we mean business (literally) and tell them what we, the real support of the company, want!

Thumb this up so word gets out. We might actually have a chance at this succeeding!

[gleisonvox10]

To jogando no dolphin e é muito leve mas com graficos estrondosos que lançam o PS2 nas profundesas do inferno para sempre e jogabilidade para fazer Final Fantansy pareser um jogo de menina de 15 anos virgem e diversão capaz de fazer a DISNEY paracer um parquinho de fundo quintal , quer mais jogue ...

[david18cruz1989]

why almost every rpg protagonist are blond? did the producer have anything against black haired guys?

[TheGreatCandyman]

@david18cruz1989 lol I noticed that too. Though this is mostly only true for the FF series but to most Westerners, JRPG is the FF series.

[BEASTEROFBEASTS]

Omg the maps and battle system is gorgeous

[MetaBrainX]

I love the concept but... Looks like PS2 graphics... I don't own any of the new gen consoles tho.

[nightmoon817]

@MetaBrainX

In-game graphics are better. Youtube videos don't do the game justice. By the way, Wii games are not hi-def a la PS3 or 360 but unless you really care about graphics, this is a must buy.

[MyNameBaboo]

The visuals sure got better. I heard there's tons to do. I hope Norse America will get this.

[Dexter158]

XENOgears, XENOsaga, XE.....Monado?! Once again, guys from Namco are not making any sence

[BlooLegend]

@Dexter158 Its actually called Xenoblade in Japan Monado is the US name

[JennyGina121]

@BlooLegend

I know, I just don't understand why they changed it for the us version

[dragonsword777]

the battle system looks like ff12

[MrNintendolover]

@dragonsword777 i was thinking the same thing

[crlake]

Are they really changing the name of this game, from "Xenoblade", to the completely stupid name of "Monado"? Why?

[RMK245]

@crlake No, they change the title from Monado to Xenoblade, though we have to see If It'll be call Xenoblade once It get release everywhere else next year(hopefully).

[crlake]

@RMK245

I'm with you. I hope so. Xenoblade is million times better.

[RMK245]

@crlake Yeah, It would catch more gamers attention here with the name "Xenoblade", It was call "Monado" before because of the sword(which is what It called), though they change the title since the guy who did "Xenosaga" and "Xenogears" I believe also work on this game, the name change was like a tribute as he put his heart into making this game.

[Jiyanamiki]

B-But... I want Xenosaga IV :(

[LRUA007]

this is xenoblade game

[MrGamingGorilla]

Nice vid plzz can you put on more demos or even online if it has it

[lelcioXwilczur]

ale zaje**** gra prawie jak mario 1d 

[muvrrey]

the game looks good but... man, the wii can do much better graphics than this... this are like dreamcast graphics (btw dreamcast rules!!!)

[Jeanyus920]

@muvrrey hell yeah....

skies of arcadia... epic

[genialsisisi]

SHIT!

[SushiLove121]

This should be 3DS btw.

[IRSPONGEBOB]

@SushiLove121 No, it shouldn't.

[Darkrise714]

Xenoblade sounds better.

[Zawy3r]

isnt it xenoblade?!

[rpggguy]

@Zawy3r yeah...'bout that i hear that title is for japanese version (i think)

[MapleMeringue]

@zebracardeath Constantly, if the Wii isn't your only machine. I know I've bought Demons Souls, Resonance of Fate and Nier in the past 8 months and they've been excellent.

And FFXIII but that........ Not so good. Barely a video game.

Monado is called Xenoblade now, it's from the Xenogears/Saga creator. It's more in common with FFXII or a WRPG than Kingdom Heart's.

[WFoth]

This really looks like a Nintendo attempt at KH but it looks like it will do a really good job. Hopefully they will improve the battle system though. The style of it looks to be like Final Fantasy XII and we all know how that battle system turned out. :( I'm really looking forward to this game though and will be watching it carefully to see if it holds up to all the player hype

[wirtualnapolska1990]

This game would be epic i thinj :)

[darknesstar]

@oinkmooblah even the music reminds me a bit of the KH series, so it´s gonna be cool

[fonarte]

@darknesstar Yoko Shimomura is the composer

[mitchx69]

this looks like a great game looks like wii is getting better with games like red steel 2, monster hunter tri, tatsunko vs capcom, super mario galaxy 2, this and other wii games out and coming out this year and next

[javiman]

this looks awesome :)

[CAL1B3RIII]

This is called Xenoblade in japan right?

[Sephiroth21682]

@CAL1B3RIII yes

[zebracardeath]

omg how long has it been since a real rpg came out on a console!

[Willy105]

@zebracardeath A few days ago.

[Inedrief]

Xenoblade.

[SLYMaster58]

xenoblade is the japanese title, they're still calling the american version monado.

[corteztheman4EVER]

i cant help but think this game should have been made kinda like how the dynasty warroirs games are

[nightzeroAX]

The Wii doesn't suck. It's just the 3party developers who make sucky graphics for it. Same goes for the Cube.

I hope they make Baiten Kaitos next.

[jacobryanball10]

So is this called Xenoblade right now??? Or was it originally Xenoblade and now called Monado??

[nightzeroAX]

@jacobryanball10 Yea its Xenoblade now. It was called Monado.

[mitchx69]

Just wondering since it looks like a game where you would use the wiimote to fight and attack would it use the wii motion plus it looks like its going to be like zelda and allow you to explore and fight also from what upcoming wii games ive seen alot of developers are now making games that we hoped for when it first get released also a lot of creative and good games are coming out i think wii is finaly getting better

[mitchx69]

Just wondering since it looks like a game where you would use the wiimote to fight and attack would it use the wii motion plus it looks like its going to be like zelda and allow you to explore and fight

[LinkSoul2]

@mitchx69

There will be a HUGE world to explore. Watch the new trailer that just came out!

Also it wont be like Zelda in terms of Battle. The game will be more like Final Fantasy 12 in terms of Battle system which is disappointing for me!

But the game will be freaking amazing i can guaranty that!

[Sixviriano]

It has "Xeno" on the title and "Tetsuya Takahashi" as director.

The least I can do is check it out.

I care shit about graphics...

[Doyledeth]

I want it to be more like Xenogears

[Xephon0930]

Another addition to the Xeno universe? Sign my ass up!!!!!

[SonicShenmue]

Did anybody know, that the games World is the body of two gods, who froze when fighting! Thats an amazing concept!

[Kanasai1911]

@SonicShenmue

hmm... in chinese mythology, the world came to be when a giant sleeping inside an egg which happens to be earth, woke up and broke it into little fragments, creating the continents.

or something like that.

[superced]

dis shit looks awesome

[FettSchwabbelBumms]

Who cares about fucking graphics? They're so overrated. Each Developer can make a game with nice graphics, but that doesn't count at all, if the game itself sucks. No one had problems with old NES RPG's, actually i'm even playing them today too. They were made with heartblood and not with that increasing commercial thinking.

[27Junkhead27]

seriously, are you honestly going to pay $60 for a game that's going to be garbage?

[FettSchwabbelBumms]

Who said, that it will cost 60$ ?^^

And who said, that this game is going to be garbage?

I can't say, if this is going to be a good or a bad game, before i didn't even test it.

But you can't rate a whole game, just because of it's graphics.

[fededx]

This game is now called Xenoblade, it's being developed by MonolithSoft. It's gonna be released this year, yay!

[SammEater]

@fedexdx

I know, its awesome (i love Xenogears and Xenosaga), a new Xeno its EPIC.

[Santouryu111]

@SammEater Xenogears is the best game ever created!

[godajmo]

look pretty cool

[Asiaasi]

50 bucks the main character has amnesia :P

[meerkat1954]

This game has amazing PS2-era graphics. That said, it looks more interesting than FF13.

[lordstorm4128]

combenation of final fantesy, phantesy star zero and zelda ._.

[angelusofdeath]

for some reason the GUI reminds me of a mmorpg

[Axtitios]

reminds me of final fantasy

[mojack411]

To answer some of your questions, this game is extremely shrouded in mystery right now. This was all that was shown at E3 and no other information was given about it. All that's known is that it is coming to US, that's about it. Release date is still unknown as well.

[evillink125]

there should be online in this game

[lordstorm4128]

ye that would be awsome

[emmakite]

i think it looks more like phantasy star

[emmakite]

i just love the music and i think the grafics are pretty good. Also looks like it has a pretty expansive world to explore

[StryderRyuBmore]

Is this turned based, or Real Time/ Action RPG? I can't really tell.

[Sigyn7]

Reminds me of Vagrant story with some Xenosaga mixed in.

[ThaPoopa]

Music sounds like KH.

Characters look like they were pulled from Tetsuya Nomura.

Overall, it looks okay =/

We need more info before passing judgement, tho.

[14MorrisonB]

thought the exact same thing about the KH music

[OxyCloud]

Looks like Darkcloud, kinda reminds me of WoW too lol

[PivotDoodler]

Kinda reminds me of dark cloud and kingdom hearts

[mutehero7]

Beginning of the world, and they already have robots.

[Drummboii]

lol

[lordrath2000]

now i'm wondering what they'll by the end of the world

[bigdaddyfranchise]

wtf man!!! i know they want to keep some secret to make the game very surprising in the final product but common give us more vids and pics to get more hype cuz this gam elooks awesome and ive only seen this vid and 4 screenshots from this vid...

[Norvolo]

If this utilizes the wiimotion plus it's got my interest, at least. CONCEIVABLY fun.

[rnlli]

lol looked like WORLD OF WARCRAFT OO"

[aanjuan]

um im having a hard tiem comparing this to final fantasy or kingdom hearts...

[BBoyFrequency]

is that a good or bad thing

[nijjar94]

i totaly agree

[AeroWars]

this looks like final fantasy mixed with kingdom hearts. seriously.

[Drullumella]

The music reminds me of kingdom hearts.

[darksteelone]

Graphics look just okay but hey I can't blame em looks like youl be in big forests and stuff but still the conduit shows the wii's FULL graphical power

[lockstockn2barrels]

looks like monster hunter

[lordrath2000]

this game even have giant lizards! at least there isn't any shiny armor...

[kinkaid25]

hi every one i am selling my wii console uk only £140 pounds 3 games only had it 3 weeks

[Plainstomper]

Don't think it's an mmorpg, but a multiplayer game, surely. Didn't like the trailer though,didn't tell anything about what it is about.

[yarisplay06]

Doesn't look like it. Who's making this?

[Tassakos]

is this a mmorpg?

[strontydogVulf]

can't be reallly, tis on wii

[Sahin9494]

it can. think:

Dreamcast had an MMORPG, so why it couldnt be really?
