At E3 2009, Nintendo revealed the newest chapter in the Metroid saga, the oddly named Metroid: Other M. Treated to a nerdy ovation and instantly peaking everyone’s interests, the game quickly went behind the curtains again and little if anything has been shown of what to expect. Even more hidden was Monado: Beginning of the World. The title is Monolith’s new RPG, and was only shown in the press package released online, but no mention given at the conference itself. Finally Nintendo has started slowly to reveal more.
Monado: Beginning of the World has now changed title (in Japan at least) to XENOBLADE, which raises some interesting questions of its connection to the Xeno series. Another title was also revealed on the day of the website launch, a new RPG from Mistwalker titled The Last Story, by Hironobu Sakaguchi. Yeah you read the title right, the creator of Final Fantasy now has a new game called The Last Story. Clever.
The three websites all come with audio samples of what we might expect, and none disappoint. Metroid: Other M has a contemplative piano track, The Last Story has a very nice violin track, and XENOBLADE has what seems to be a Sakuraba-esque epic theme.
Go to the Metroid: Other M [2], The Last Story [3] and XENOBLADE [4] websites and tell us what you think!

Thanks for the tips on this!
Xenoblade sounds quite epic!

That Metroid site is haught. Looks like Star Wars or something. Also looking forward to this Sakaguchi project. I can’t imagine it’s anyone other than Uematsu…

I’m guessing Xenoblade is Yoko Shimomura. There was a Monado trailer released last year and the music was very much like her style (it was a battle track I believe). It could also be Procyon Studio, as I have heard Shunsuke Tsuchiya emulate Yoko Shimomura’s style quite well. Only time will tell I guess…
I also agree that Last Story has to be Uematsu.

I don’t normally visit game sites to chill to the music, but wow, Xenoblade caught my ear and kept it for a while. Can’t wait to hear more about (and from) this game.

Good to see my Wii can get some new/quality adventures. Development has been lacking for a while, so this will remedy that situation nicely.
