Nintendo shared the debut trailer for Monolith Soft’s upcoming Wii U RPG during today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast. It’s still to be titled, but it looks like Xenoblade with mechs. It features character design by Kunihiki Tanaka, music by Hiroyuki Sawano, and sees Tetsuya Takahashi in the executive director’s seat. Watch it below.

    I’ve uploaded the HD (.mp4/720p) file on youtube to rapidgator. I’m not sure if they encoded anything better.

      THANK YOU!!!!!!!

      though i suggest uploading on deposite files next time.

      no limit on uploads or downloads.

      gold accounts are for those who want faster upload speed and multiple dls.

      rapidgator is too slow to be honest.

      but in any case, thanks!!!!!!

      REALLY APPRECIATE this!

        Sure, I’ll make an account on it. I might upload to both next time. My upload speeds are slow, and this was a small file. Which is why I just uploaded it to one place.

        • PrinceHeir

          nah it’s okay!!

          it’s just a suggestion :D

      I was looking for this. Thank you so much! And I think the 720p is the best quality we can get.

    Mother of God… that trailer was freaking incredible!

    It looks like it’ll be open-world, and the gameplay kinda gave me a God Eater/Monster Hunter vibe. It looks like Nintendo has me completely sold on the Wii U.

    • Himiko

      After Xenoblade, of course it will be. xD

  • Budgiecat

    Okay Mistwalker…..where’s YOUR Wii U RPG?

    I’m waiting…..

  • HeatPhoenix

    because every mech is a Gundam right…
    Bet you guys didn’t know the original Gundam couldn’t even fly. It could only jump.

  • Oside

    I just have to keep going back to see this awesome trailer over and over again. I love the music and the way it looks. Hope it comes soon!

  • PrinceHeir

    FUCKING BLEW MY MIND.

    Monolith Soft rocks!!!!!

    it’s too bad the composer is not Yasunori Mitsuda :(

    maybe more composer will be announced in the coming months???

    • Tetsu

      Actually, Yasunori Mitsuda only composed one song for Xenoblade Chronicles: Beyond the Sky, the ending theme song. The rest of the soundtrack was composed by ACE+ (composer group – Tomori Kudo, CHiCO, and Kenji Hiramatsu) Yoko Shimomura, and Manami Kiyota. The most memorable songs in the game would be courtesy of Yoko and ACE+.

      • PrinceHeir

        that’s why i wanted him to composed this so we could have more of him :D

        though he’s doing Soul Sacrifice, which is gonna be amazing :D

        • Tetsu

          Oh definitely, more Yasunori Mitsuda is ALWAYS a good thing! :D

          ….He’s composing for that game?! really?? That’s awesome! I was interested in the game before, but NOW. That’s an auto-buy ha ha.

          • PrinceHeir

            yeah, was surprise as well XD
