Monolift Soft WIi U

We’ve known for a while that Monolift Soft — the developers behind Xenoblade Chronicles — have been working on something for the Wii U. What that something is can be seen in a trailer after the break.

  • Kaizar

    Oh yeah, this tech demo.

    I can’t wait to see it when it goes Gold.

    WE THE BEST! FOREVER!

    Considering how recently Xenoblade came out this looks nothing short of stunning. Combat appears to be an expanded and refined version of Xenoblade’s. The game looks beautiful. The monsters are huge and you even get a mech(s?) to use and it can transform. Despite the lack of information on this game I’m very excited. More so then I was for FF Versus XIII.

      You’re lying, nothing can beat FF Versus XIII.

  • torpedofin

    I don’t know, the combination of the music, GIGANTIC monsters, stunning visuals and Mech Suits make this the most anticipated game for me. I haven’t been able to sit still since watching the trailer for the first time. I’ve probably seen it about 15 times now…

  • lars

    Hope we don’t have to wait to long for this.

    And a US release right away please, I don’t want to do a Operation Rainfall BS again.

    • anomandaris

      I highly doubt we should be scared of no u.s. release considering this was shown on an English nintendo direct.

  • Symbol de Au

    Looks a lot like Final Fantasy XIII.

      except it is actually a good game :P jk, final fantasy 13 was pretty good.

    and people thought nintendo systems had no games. although i wonder if we will get 3rd party games like dead space 3 or gta 5 and such. if that was the case, the wii u would easily have one of the best line up of games for this year.

    • Kaizar

      The Wii U is getting a GTA exclusive from Rockstar games.

      And also a Saints Row exclusive.

      THIRD POWER!

      so am i not the only one who knows he makes up facts all the time huh?

    • Kaizar

      “Rockstar and Nintendo are working together on amazing things. We’ve heard this a couple of times. And IGN’s stance is they haven’t heard any specific.”

      Source: this Wii U blog site of David’s from one of his post.

      I love where it says that IGN hasn’t heard any specifics…….as in they know RockStar & Nintendo are working together, but don’t know the specifics.

      So IGN knows, but they don’t know the details at all.

      WE THE BEST!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      not true. you know why?
      -put “rockstar” or “gta” or “ign” in the search bar. all the confirmations that gta might come to the wii u are just rumors as of right now. rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything.
      -you pulled out that quote from an APRIL 27TH, 2O11 article. by that time the system wasn’t even called wii u. it was called still project cafe and most of the info. was just speculation. http://wiiublog.com/ign-responds-to-wii-2-rumors/
      - notice how you pulled this out of the POSSIBLE section of all the article. there is the confirmed info. followed by the likely info. and then comes the possible info. making it, once again, just speculation.
      -finally, notice how ign also said in that same paragraph that they HEARD nintendo and rockstar were working together, it wasn’t confirmed and there is no source to prove this either.
      see the thing is that gta 5 might come to the wii u, i won’t deny it and i would hope it does, but you seriously need to get your head out of your ass and stop making up facts. seriously is starting to get annoying specially when you reply to someone.

    • Kaizar

      What about this:
      Well I was bored and was looking at specs for the PSVita and 3DS doing comparison’s and I came across something. The Vita uses a SGX543MP4+ model apparently clocked @200MHZ which is the max so far anyways. This is the exact same GPU as the Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s but the Iphone 4s use a dual core variant while the Vita uses a quad core variant. Well the 3DS uses a Pica 200 which not overclocked can be up to 400MHZ. We don’t know what Nintendo is using though. When I did research the Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s was clocked at 68M triangles/s @200MHz. The PSVita had 133M triangles/s @200MHZ. The Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s’s GPU triangles/s is around a Pica 200@150MHZ. The PSVita’s is just above a Pica200@300MHZ. The Pica@400MHZ was quite a bit higher then the PSVita’s in polygons. The rumoured 3DS GPU clock speed is a bit under 300 MHZ though but Nintendo can always update the 3DS and up it to 400MHZ if they want to. Sony did that to the PSP’s CPU and raised the clock speed it from 222MHZ to 333MHZ. Anyways the Pica 200 actually isn’t praised for it’s amount of polys. It actually is praised for it’s shaders how it can create such high quality shaders and lighting on par with HD consoles.
      Anyways the Vita’s GPU on the other hand doesn’t seem to boast these extra shader features. I know the Vita does have a lot more RAM and the processing speeds are likely superior, but they don’t effect gaming nearly as much as the GPU. The shaders though are far superior, so the shaders remain very impressive and on HD console levels. Anyways this doesn’t really matter all that much, but I found it to be interesting that the 3DS actually has a more capable GPU then the all impressive PSVita.

      i won’t argue about specs since i don’t know much about them, but since you brought something that has nothing to do with the original argument, i will take this as an “i am right”.

    • Kaizar

      I was referring to what said about me in your other comment.

      MINT BERRY CRUNCH!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      why didn’t you reply to that comment then?

    • Kaizar

      I must have clicked the wrong comment’s reply button, LOL.

      SHABLAGOO!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      dude, my other comment was all the way up top. how does that happen to you?

    • Kaizar

      At the time there was no gap or only 1 comment in between.

      In fact I currently only see 1 comment in between the one I reply to and the one I meant to reply to. And that’s what is displayed right now, on my Ipad.

      But maybe you think I’m talking about another comment of yours.

      Well never mind, the mistake has already happen and I don’t got a Flux Capacitor, LOL.

      MINT BERRY CRUNCH!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      mmm no, literally, my other comment talking about the graphics of the game is seriously almost at the top with a gap of like 10 or more comments. besides its either that comment in which i comment about the graphics of the game or non of the others, since the rest of my comments have to do with gta coming to the wii u and have nothing to do with graphics.

    • Kaizar

      I was talking about the one where you say I make stuff up, but I actually get it all from these blog sites of David.

      But my memory is more vague from what I have read many months ago, then I thought.

      So my bad about the Grand Theft Auto & Saints Row, but I haven’t read it for over a year. So it’s only natural that I would have such a bad vague memory, LOL.

      Anyways, my bad.

      SHABLAGOO!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      exactly, so see next time you want to talk, make sure you got your info all correct. specially if you are going to reply multiple times because it is really annoying. look dude, i apologize for all the trouble, but in all honestly, you piss me off at times.

    • Ice Climbers

      I love how obvious it is when an account is really just Kaizar making up facts.

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      i love the fact that either he takes the time to switch accounts and like his own comments or the fact that there is somebody in here who believes everything he says and likes every single one of his comments right away.

    • T.I.

      Well, I usually see his comments have like 8 thumbs up & higher like half the time.

      But I also see other people get over 20 thumbs up all the time, so I figure it’s just the current number of users who keep finding out about these sites.

      We got people from south America & Japan & Europe & Australia on these sites, so I guess it’s to be expected.

      And after seeing so many users get over 50 thumbs up once in a while, I don’t see his several thumbs up as anything special.

      I’m curious of the traffic on these blogs. The 3DS blog takes long to load, so I figure there must be a lot of traffic.

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      , but haven’t you noticed the minute he comments, he gets one like? besides of course he is going to have tons of likes, there is always misimformed people and fanboys who would take his info as true. this is a nintendo blog after all.

    • T.I.

      I have seen times where he has 0 thumbs, but rarely.

      Plus when he would have 0 thumbs up he would then get like 10 or so thumbs down, but ever since he has been most likely thumbing himself up these past many months, well he now only gets 0 thumbs down most the time, and the 1 thumbs down down usually is a troll giving everyone 1 thumbs down.

      But yeah, I have notice for the past many months recently, but I think it’s a strategy to just prevent people from blindly thumbing down his comments without reading them.

      I think ever since he has started thumbing himself up, well he only seems to get 0 to 3 thumbs down in the maximum like anyone else’s comments for legit reasons and sometimes bias reasons.

    • Willie the Kid

      Nintendo is pushing it, and the 3DS was having Saints Row developed for it.

      So the Saints Row exclusive game is going to happen eventually obviously.

      When you look at the timing of the 3DS exclusive getting cancel, well you can see that it’s most likely moving over to being a Wii U exclusive.

      So the Saints Row exclusive is an obvious yes, no questions ask. Especially when you look at Western 3rd Party Support for exclusives for Wii U.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      It would be financial suicide for THQ* to make Saints Row Wii U exclusive. The only reason 3DS would have gotten an exclusive one is because there’s no other (viable) console that has feature parity with the 3DS, at least until the Vita came out.

      *Who owns this now, it’s Koch Media right?

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      dude, you do know thq is done for and that all their franchises were sold to other gaming companies right? what makes you think that a saints row game is still in the works? besides that article is from MAY 7TH 2011, by that time thq wasn’t dissolved, but now it is so i seriously think this game you speak of is no longer in development and will never be released unless koch media decides to continue with it, but it’s incredibly improbable.

    • Willie the Kid

      I do now lol.

  • Total911

    Looks amazing! The open-world gameplay Monolith shoots for is stunning as ever!

  • david2

    This game just looks flat out amazinggg !!!!!! I’m really excited for this game there are a ton of games that really made me happy to own a Wii u and when I saw this my jaw hit the floor. It looks beautiful,it looks fun, I’m ready for this and its not out yet.

  • Michael

    I’ve literally never been more excited/anticipative/hyped for any single game release as much as this….and what’s even better is that I think a lot of other people feel that way too, from the looks of it!

    • CastTD

      Same here this game for some reason has caught my eye big time. Cant wait to see more of this game.

  • lonewolf

    i don’t think i have enough money for all this quickly someone give meh cash!

  • Darkmeister

    Xenoblade had a great ending. I just can’t imagine this one’s story.

    • boyonthemoon

      it could be a prequill… maybe?

  • Tauronji

    Let`s hope, that this game will be as great as Xenoblade Chronicles. I loved it :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/JonathanRider Johnny Rider

    Colour me excited. This video is enough to stop the haters in their tracks. Just imagine how it’s going to look when it’s released, even this footage is more than the 360/PS3 could dream of handling.

    • Kaizar

      Dude, it’s just a Tech Demo.

      So just wait until it goes Alpha in its graphics.

      SHABLAGOO!

    • http://twitter.com/cristovar1994 cristopher tovar

      not really, i agree the game looks really good, but graphics look a lot like ff 13 except 13 looks better, but not by a lot. this graphics could easily be handled by 360/ps3

    • Kaizar

      Is is a Tech Demo.

      So just wait for this game to have its graphics go Alpha later.

      THIRD POWER!

    • Joshua

      It’s draw distance by far surpasses that of the PS3 and 360.

  • Iyxxl

    Teez, this is why I bought mah Wii U(well, this, and Monster Hunter). :D

    I can’t wait to waste another 150+ hours of my life AGAIN on this game!! XD
    … Ahaha… Not really.

  • DrunkEnShadow
