Speculating on Monolith Soft’s Upcoming Wii U RPG

Gamnesia: With its expansive world, beautiful visuals, immersive battle-system, compelling story and hundreds of hours of gameplay, Xenoblade Chronicles wasn’t just one of the best games on the Wii, but one of the best games of all time. It should come as no surprise then that there’s a tremendous amount of excitement building about Monolith Soft’s next project.

Why there is nothing about Xenosaga in this article? It's such a shame that Xenosaga, the origin of Monolith Soft's epicness, lacks an attention.

Love their games. I wish they had more power to work with as they create awesome worlds but are limited by handheld specs. Hopefully Switch 2 upscaling can work some miracles with the lower end specs and gives the immersion that this world should have.

I'm looking forward to seeing more on what they'll do for Switch 2. Longs they maintain their standard and they have done it for
years.

Hope for Xenosaga 1-3 remaster one day whether they do it or not. They did it with Baiten Kaios.

That would be awesome. That is such an amazing series.

gold_drake92d ago

i would love to play the xenoblade games, as im a big fan of the xeno series in general, but damn.
the anime style character looks and the mmo approach/inspiration the combat is not my cup of tea at all.

Can't wait for XC4 on Nintendo switch 2!!!

cthulhucultist201d ago

One of the best Nintendo first party developers who can squeeze most out of Nintendo platforms.

It si quite a feat that they managed to improve the graphics on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in comparison to 2 as Digital Foundry pointed out in their tech review.

jznrpg201d ago

It would look so much better with some decent power. When your characters were in a closeup they became very blurry, the ground looked like PS2 graphics. That’s not on Monolith though. Hopefully the Switch 2 is considerably more powerful but I’m not sure it will be

Neonridr201d ago

it will be considerably more powerful than the Switch

DarXyde200d ago

Most likely it will be.

But also very likely DLSS or some proprietary variant will handle the heavy lifting on visuals.

Dedicated hardware-based ray tracing and a decent CPU should be a good starting point.

repsahj201d ago

I enjoyed playing XC3 more than Tales of Arise on my PS5. So graphics are not everything.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH200d ago

Imagine if Nintendo made a Next Gen Console stronger than the Series or PS5. They would completely crush the competition. I’m not a Nintendo fanboy in the slightest but let’s be real here, the only thing stopping Nintendo from world domination is the lack of power.
