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!

There were a few mysterious names that popped up on Nintendo’s latest round of release date updates. We now know what The Last Story is, but Xenoblade was one of the other unknown titles. A site for the game has opened, however, and has confirmed that Xenoblade is the Japanese name for Monado: Beginning of the World. There’s no new information for the title right now, although you can check out the game’s teaser site here.
Update: Added in a bit of information below
Mistwalker has finally unveiled their new project, The Last Story. After much speculation regarding what Mistwalker has been teasing the past few months, the game has been confirmed for the Wii. Nintendo and Mistwalker have yet to share many details, but the game is an RPG and will be released in Japan this year. You can check out the game’s official site here.

Iwata on the iPad…
“It was a bigger iPod Touch. There were no surprises for me.”
Iwata denying the DS successor rumors (with motion sensing) and Wii HD rumors…
“I question whether those features would be enough to get people to buy new machines.”
Note: Iwata did acknowledge that the company is working on new systems, though that isn’t too surprising.
Iwata on 3D gaming…
“I have doubts whether people will be wearing glasses to play games at home. How is that going to look to other people?”
