Nintendo buys Monolith Soft(mostly)

[Tiael]

Nintendo has now become the controlling stockholder of Monolith Soft. Control of the company responsible for such RPG offerings as the Xenosaga series has been split between Nintendo and Namco-Bandai, with Nintendo taking an 80% share and Namco-Bandai retaining 16%.

Other projects that the Monolith Soft team has worked on include the Baten Kaitos series and Namco x Capcom. Before leaving Squaresoft in 1999, many members of Monolith Soft had been involved in developing Xenogears.

That's Monolith Productions, not Monolith Soft, read above.

Shit then Im glad I didnt play Origins. I would never win using same deck.

 

[Dayner]

well its not bad thing .. all Characters can use most of not all card .. the only card they cant use is SP

the deck limit is 70 when i beat the game and you can have like 8 cards in your hand near the end

Baiten Kaitos was a pretty fun game I had fun playing it on my friend's GC. I'd like to see what comes. I still want a Xenogears remake >.> but I'm sure they can't do it here since I, believe, Square-Enix owns the rights :|

Never got a chance to play Baten Kaitos. Although I would've liked to preorder the Japanese version because of the "Tower of Druaga" bonus disc.

BTW, nice quote in your sig.

... "Radiant Turd"... lol

Hehe, my friend showed me it I just hope people don't think that's my opinion on it XD just was funny to me
