Mistwalker working on a new game on WiiU a possibility?

is this company still relevant? I remember people made a big deal when they singed a deal with MS, but that quickly fizzled out.

I think Nintendo should invest in a western developer instead.

Bayonetta sold more than all of Mistwalker's games, and a sequel was actually in development originally funded by SEGA. Not the same at all.

yeah but that kind of game (hack and slay) was never that popular on nintendo platforms while last story did actually sold what it did on the wii so there is a high probability that it will replicate the success.

A wolf?
Clearly this is the successor to The Last Story.

That tiger had disappointingly little to do with anything. But Last Story was a fun game, and I'd be down for another. Who does the art for TLS? I thought the artwork was really good for that game.

it means that it is not likely that the bayonetta fanbase is going to transition to wiiu because of one game while the TLS userbase is more likely to do so.

The Last Story didn't sell very well. The Nintendo platform Mistwalker should be succesful on is 3DS.

Ash was a disaster

and so was pretty much every mistwalker game on DS

spoiler of TLS's ending
didn't dagran die at the end of the game? if so, those are just random artworks and maybe early concept from TLS probably

The Last Story 2?

I want something original, oh well, they can really improve on whatever issues were present instead of trying to reinvent the wheel every time.

Plus it'd be one step closer to being the next Final Fantasy, that wasn't perfect on the first go, if they stopped there, they'd be dead (no XD), we never would've gotten FF7 now would we? :p

That's weird. I didn't see The Last Story ripping up the charts.

I think the point was that they initially limited their mass appeal by working with the publisher with possibly the least amount of fan interest in Japan. That place where JRPG's sell fantastically well.

Probably a bit of a stretch, not sure how the deal works, but could it be hinting at a release on other consoles?

I don't think they would have done well with any of the publishers to be honest.

I really really admired TLS and for all its flaws, thought it deserved a sequel to realise some of the potential brewing in there.

Like Sakaguchi a lot when he's got the reins. Such an unfussy director.

Is Mistwalker working on a Wii U title? I hope so, but there doesn't seem to be any external evidence that would demonstrate that they are. It's pure speculation at this point, especially considering that Sakaguchi has stated that his options for what to do next continue to remain open.

Cry ON for 3DS would be amazing, with 2D art

3DS is my favourite JRPG / artisitc game machine right now, Layton Azran, Bravely Default, probably the new Monolith game all scream amazing art

I'm not sure what (if anything) all of this means, but I love that concept art of an RPG with the dog companion. Gets my mind thinking up all kinds of interesting angles.

Damn, Last Story had truly some awesome concept arts. It's a shame the game ended up looking rather bland for the most part.

That is why i think a 3DS game using 2D art, like Bravely Default, would be an amazing reveal

Imagine that Cry On art actually shown in the game with the 3D effect, i drool at the very though of it

Depends on how Cry On was, as a 360 game, obviously it had large 3D worlds. Wonder if they made any progress on the 360 before canning it? Come on Nintendo, pull a Bayonetta 2! :D

Was that where this concept art came from, or was that another phase? Because I'd be really interested in a setting derived from it.

This looks awesome. Kinda gives me a 40's Noir kinda vibe. If Mistwalker ever makes Last Story 2, use that setting but throw in a bit of the sci-fi elements from the original concept, Give it a proper open world with interconnected dungeons, arenas, keep and refine TLS's battle system and what not and bam you have my game of forever.
