Iwata explains Xenoblade’s name change
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
As many Nintendo fans know, Xenoblade was originally called Monado: Beginning of the World. The title was announced on the company’s E3 press site last year and suddenly resurfaced yesterday, with its new name. What was the motivation behind Xenoblade’s name change? Satoru Iwata explained at Nintendo’s latest financial briefing:
“At E3 2009 it was announced with a temporary name, ‘Monado: Beginning of the World.’ We decided to call it XENOBLADE to honor Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the XENO series.”

Update: As expected, the screenshots are indeed fake (thanks Caelum!). Case closed!
Please know that I think the screenshots below are fake. I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking that the images are real or that they even have a strong possibility of being real. I just don’t think it’s likely that they are real. With that said, before I get flooded with emails about this, I thought I might as well share the shots with you guys. The images have been popping up on numerous forums, but just make sure you don’t take the images too seriously!
