Baten Kaitos 3!!!

[GamePunk429]

Well I am currently doing a replay of the two Baten Kaitos games and I decided that I would see if there was any glimmer of hope for a third title in the amazing series. Well I happened to stumble across this.

While both news updates are a bit old, and it doesn't directly say Baten Kaitos, that concept art that they showed off definitely has it written all over it. I would be extremely happy if this managed to see a release as it is easily my second favorite series of all time (Chrono series is my first).

So here is hoping for some more news about this soon, they are only just now hiring for the game so it could still be quite some time away. I hope that they keep the pre-rendered backgrounds and do a fusion of the battle system of the first and second games. I also wouldn't mind more cgi movies, or at least full 3-d battlefield style movies that are more cinematic style.

I'm barely familiar with the Baten Kaitos series, but it looks like a game that could be a good showcase for the Wii U hardware. I'd say we'll probably see it at E3 next year, but who knows if NoA is planning on localizing it? Fingers crossed.

If you are an RPG fan at all I would highly recommend checking out the Baten Kaitos series, I love everything about it. It is honestly the only series that I would put next to the Chrono series in terms of quality.

Not Baten Kaitos 3, but we have a trailer for Monolith Soft's new game. Looks cool, but I still haven't finished Xenoblade, so.

This looks like a direct sequel to Xenoblade, even though they confirmed it wasn't. It looks identical gameplay wise, with a giant graphical boost. I think with the success of Xenoblade I can kiss my hopes for a BK sequel goodbye. They will probably continue down the road of create more games with the "Xeno" brand. If done correctly this could become Nintendo's Final Fantasy series.
