Xenoblade Chronicles 3D released, Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer

With the remake of Xenoblade Chronicles for the 3DS released on the 10th, it serves to revisit the news of the spiritual sequel Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to the Wii U in the near future. The new game will feature elements of the previous title for the Wii: huge areas which reward exploration and item collection richly, large expansive quest lines, and beautiful scenery. The game is the latest in a series of related titles published by Monolith Soft, all sharing the same "Xeno-" name. Be prepared for a long main story and hundreds of side quests to perform as humanity's survivors attempt to eke out a living on a new world.

Rodea the Sky Soldier Announced

A strange new game was announced with a trailer, in Japanese. Yuji Naka, famous creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and former head of Sonic Team, leads the creation of this new IP. While not technically stunning (it will also be released for the Wii console apparently), it appears to be a fast-paced flight-based action platformer in which the player controls the main character Rodea with the touch screen of the Wii U or 3DS or Wii remote on the Wii. Also: J-pop.
