More good news for 3DS owners.

http://cdn.whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/shigeru-miyamoto-500x280.jpg

Let's hope whatever the game is there are no localisation problems this time around.

"Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos developer Monolith Soft is seeking staff for a 3DS project. The studio has opened a recruitment page seeking staff to work on the project out of its newly formed Kyoto studio.

Positions include effect designers, motion designers and 3DCG designers. The 3DCG designers will work on character modeling and 3D map modeling. The effect designers will work on effects for map and battle scenes. The motion designers will work on motion for things like monsters and characters."

I'm wondering if it's another anime/manga RPG. Probably not since DBZ: Attack of the Saiyans fared horribly (even for DB standards).

I would love that, but I don think they could come up with much other than fanfare, the story wrapped up pretty completely. Of course, they are fantastic story writers, so they could come up with something :D I can't wait to find out what they come out with!!

More excellent titles coming for the 3DS.

Will this domination ever stop? I doubt it.

I LOVE Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos origins. Cannot wait to buy Xenoblade day one. So naturally I am pretty hyped for whatever this is.

The more I think about it, I honestly wouldn't mind if they ported Xenoblade in 3D. With as huge and distant the environments are, I think it would look amazing with depth to truly emphasize the massive scale of the game.

It is unlikely. Vita launched world wide yesterday and Nintendo Direct was yesterday talking about some upcoming 3DS games. Now more news about a big name developer making a 3DS game. Who knows what else this year.

Whilst for Vita we only got confirmation of COD release this fall.

I hope Nintendo gets into the habit of consitantly localising Monolith's games; we never got Soma Bringer and Xenoblade just barely made it. There's also Disaster Day of Crisis but I don't care much for that.

Monolith confirmed last year that they're working on a Wii U game. Heres a concept art they released for it:

Not sure how big of a studio they are, but if they can work on two new games thats impressive, though part of me thinks that the 3DS game is a Xenoblade 3D port because I can't see them working on two huge projects at once.

That looks so much like Baten Kaitos, which would surprise me and make me so happy, though I guess it doesn't really matter, since it will be amazing either way.

I missed it too until someone brought it up in the 3DS forums, I seriously can't wait for their next game, Xenoblade pretty much ruined JRPG's for me because nothing has stacked up since.

I have Xenoblade already but haven't completed it. I just prefer playing JRPG's on handhelds, IDK why.

I hope it comes over unlike Soma Bringer. Anyways, more Monolith is excellent news.

There's always hope. Theres rumor of a digital DS game download service and Namco may be participating with Tales of Hearts.
Nintendos treehouse did infact work on a Soma Bringer translation, maybe theyll finally give it to us in a digital form.

I think they formed a new team last year, so it is very possible they are working on both the 3DS game and WiiU game at the same time.

This is by a new studio people so don't get your hopes up Xenoblade 2 on the 3DS. Why anyone would want that is beyond me anyway.

Yup yup.
Rumor ofcourse but people seem to think it points to a digital release. May just be. Namco did say there will be a huge Tales overseas push.

Ah, the digital DS storefront is a rumor? I thought it was confirmed. D:

I'd love it if they do go through with it though, especially if they bring titles previously skipped over. We'll see I guess.


Im pretty sure the storefront is still a rumor, I personally havent heard anything about one yet but I have no doubt Nintendo will eventually make DS games available.
They also have a translation for ASH locked away aswell so here's hoping.

Sorry, should have been clearer. I meant an established Nintendo franchise like Zelda and Metroid, like how they're trying to make Kid Icarus one.
