Expected news. I'm kind of sad that they apparently aren't doing a Xenoblade 2, but I'm sure whatever they're working on will be great.

Brilliant News!
Haven't finished Xenoblade yet, but I understand they didn't leave much room for a sequel, so new IP makes sense. I hope they continue expanding on the core concepts of XB though.
Hell, if they made a sequel to Disaster: Day of Crisis, I'd buy it.

Such an awesome purchase by Nintendo. Seriously.
I wasn't really a fan of Xenosaga but Xenoblade is amazing. They must really understand Wii hardware as well considering the final-product that Xenoblade is.

We didn't know for certain it would be a new IP.
Pretty important considering how often people bag Nintendo for not creating new IP.
Since Wii-U was unveiled Nintendo has now 2 guaranteed new IP from esteemed developers, and the console hasn't even released yet!
The two of course being
1. Mystery Monolithsoft game (Xenoblade team)
2. The Wonderful 101 Platinum Games (Nintendo owns the IP)
In addition Pikmin is also a lesser used IP.
These developments should be comforting to those who love Nintendo games, but would like them to branch out more from their established mega franchises a bit.

Today's been info overload - need to let the dust settle.
They better have ACE+ working on the soundtrack again, they did an amazing job.
Not only a new IP from Monolith Soft but as well a new IP for Nintendo since Monolith Soft is a 1st party studio.

Disaster: Week of Crisis
It's pretty sad that this is a reality we may have to face again. Hopefully, someone will hack the Wii U so we can import.

As crazy as it sounds it feels like Nintendo are using the insane revenue they've been generating over the last few years to subsidize the high-budget development of games they know will most likely not be profitable.

I can dream right? It's so old of an IP it's new?
Either or, looking forward to it. Xenoblade was easily the best JRPG I played in ages

Disaster: GOTY of Crisis
Disaster could be done much better justice on this new hardware, I really liked it.
It'd be cool if its something high fantasy or anime influenced (that floating city makes me think of Battle Angel) - but what if.... Pokemon?
I know their game will be a new IP, I just think Monolith could actually do it justice in full 3D, make a massive world etc.

I remember reading about Monolith's new HD project before. Weren't they looking for artists with previous mecha designing experience? It's been a while, so I'm not sure, but I think it was something like that.
Either way, very much stoked for this, whatever it turns out to be.

This news really made my day, even though we already (kinda) knew about it.
I hope it's as grand and exciting as Xenoblade.

Same, ACE+ blew my mind to astronomical levels with this OST. I'm still listening to it.
That's the cool thing about Nintendo Direct, the competition makes a move? Bam suprise nintendo direct. We know they have tons of things in development that they could show/tease now, both 1st and 3rd party, but are for the post launch (post march 2013) period, they have lots of cards up their sleeves and the perfect platform in ND to communicate with customers and fans directly and with short notice.
E3 2013 looks godly already though.
1. Retro's game should be showable.
2. Ditto to Monolith's game.
3. By that time EAD should have at least 1 big title ready to show.
4. Bayonetta 2 should be ready to have a trailer of.

Hoping for a traditional JRPG with Baten Kaitos-esque graphics <3
Well of course I'm looking forward to THIS new game, whatever it may be, but... guys, MonolithSoft. I really would not be in the least bit upset if you just, ya know, released an HD port of Xenoblade Chronicles while you're busy on this new project. Just to keep the coppers rolling on in. Please?

I believe the Bethesda comment was more along the lines of "we want to show the world that Japanese developers can compete with high budget graphically intensive Western RPG's, such as Bethesda.
Doesn't imply they are westernizing the game, just states a goal to be able to compete in terms of budget, scale, and technology.
Hopefully Nintendo gave them a blank check to let their imaginations go wild with!
I really like that Nintendo is using its financial muscle to fund some riskier projects, such as this, W101, and Bayonetta 2.
Plus if this has a high budget nintendo is much more likely to release it in the West in a timely manner to get the highest possible return on the investment.

Too bad it will be about 3 years 'til we play this in English
i thought the whole reason why people were disappointed in the Wii U is because they only showed short term plans?
I guess you aren't talking about me, so there would be at least 2 people, who would kill for this.
IF Nintendo would announce this as another release title (Disaster: Week of crisis), I would buy a Wii U on release. They could ask for 500EUR, I wouldn't care.

Just make sure it gets over here in decent time, Nintendo.
