Breath of the wild 2015, Xenoblade chronicles 2 2017. I can believe that.
Hyped for it but don't expect to see it for a long time.
Looks a bit underwhelming after the XCX trailer.

Thought the same ! They look way too similar.
Don't see why it would be- Monolith's engine is already on Switch in the form of Zelda.

Hmm...I don't much mind anime inspired graphics, but where is the X? I mean I'm down with a sequel to the first one as well, but this looks like it's completely separate. Guess that's not really a bad thing, just kinda worries me.

The scene looks amazing. Love the artstyle and character design.
Kind reminds me of FFT character designs.
The artstyle really threw me off. Watching the presentation, I went basically
"Okay, Monolith...so Xenoblade....
No. Looks like Skies... or maybe Secrets of...
Is it Baten Ka...! No, that sword looks like a new Monoda...So Xenoblade....'Two?'"
Does any one know why this is XB2 (and not 3)?

It's glorious. These guys are absolute machines in creating games. This, helping on Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles X and this...
No offence but where the hell was Retro Studio's teaser?
Monolithsoft pump out an engine, make one for their new game and seemingly Zelda: BotW + still no news on what Retro is working on, can't help but feel a bit bad about that.

Because X wasn't really a sequel? (Or at least directly)
I'm not really that big a fan of anime styled graphics but I'll admit that it makes the character faces look less lifeless than the last two games. Also I see ACE is listed down for music which has me excited.
It's a nopon but that sure ain't Tatsu.

Xenoblade X is a different series.
Afaik monolithsoft is a lot bigger than Retro. Retro is actually a pretty medium sized studio by 2017's standards while monolith are 2 studio's, the RPG-devs and one specialised in asset creation for various nintendo games (including zelda).

It's just a merchant Nopon.

Calling it Xenoblade 2 does kind of create some confusion about the series, but also, sure. It's not a big seller anyway.
Still hype hype hype. Easily the most impressive game that wasn't Zelda.

I didn't like the look of XCX, but this is something I really want to play. Haven't even touched the first, so Idk why. I should probably fix that, in preparation.

Ahh I see. I honestly though Retro was going through the same process (helping with Mario Kart's Donkey Kong assets) but might've been just an art consultancy thing rather than tech help per-se.

That character design is punching me in the eyes.
He probably is a kid out to save the world with a little help from his friends

Gonna miss Skells. Hope traversal feels as good as Xenoblade X.
The low framerate is punching too.

:O I didn't even notice! Edit: Oh, it's not Tatsu
Anyways, pretty happy that it's launching this year. If it can stick to that, I'll probably pick up a switch this holiday season. The allure of Mario and Xenoblade is too strong.

This is the game that made me want the Switch. Just as X sold me a WiiU. I will buy this game, and love it.
One day.

Awful character design but at least it's better than XCX's.
Main protagonist design... meh, too childish, but a big step forward in overall character design, so much better than past Xenoblades.
Otherwise the game looks absolutely amaaaaaaaazing!!! Best thing of the presentation along with BotW.
Hope Xenoblade X port is also coming though since I skipped WiiU.

I don't really mind random accessories on character clothing but I don't think I've seen someone with a sea diving helmet on their back before.

I can't decided what I'm most excited for BOTW, Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2. There are some seriously amazing games coming out
Main character's design reminds me of Grandia 3
That was a pretty game

I would've been shocked at an early 2018 release date, nevermind 2017. I was expecting 2019-2020 and I'm still expecting that. Would love to be proven wrong.

He had some great tracks in Xenosaga episode I as well. I really want him as lead.
