Yeah, Bayonetta 2 just got confirmed...
There's only the mysterious "7th entry in a series remake" that hasn't panned out yet.

Oh geez. I got all excited, but I think this is non-news. Monolith periodically puts up blog entries showing Riki in different places, with little commentary from Riki. Scroll down this page to see what I'm talking about. This is probably just posting in anticipation of a cute little blog of Riki going around TGS. I'd love to be wrong, though.
Sad that someone is posting a machine-translated tweet as news, but I guess I shouldn't expect much from a no-name Nintendo blog.

Ah yeah, forgot about that one. Wasn't that one allegedly only going to be revealed once 3DS passed a certain sales milestone?
As others have already said, this is mistranslated.
Correct translation:
"We've updated the "Welcome to Monolith Soft page". TGS 2012 begins on 9/20 (Thurs.). Riki will once again be at TGS to report, so look forward to it!" The link links to Monolith Soft's staff blog. Riki reported from the show last year. You can see that entry here:

In other news, Monolith Soft's Tokyo studio is urgently recruiting network programmers for console network client development, and programmers with havok/shader experience.

The fact they showed off "Monado" so damned early makes me hopeful we'll get a sneak peek at their Wii U title. I mean, they have to have had people working on it for at least a year or two by now, right?
Hot damn, I thought it was a few more days away. What a delightful surprise!
Humm....IM READY!
But please let it be more like BK:O than BK1.

I just checked out of curiosity.
I thought i had that set of armor but it appears that i don't. I must have sold it in order to make room for other equipment. :/
Which reminds me that item management is one of the few things they need to improve for a potential sequel.
MEGATON!
There is zero chance of a first-party game being announced at TGS. Zero.

Not sure - but didn't Monolith Soft say their next game isn't going to be a sequel?

The recently established Kyoto studio led by Honne is working on a 3DS game. PXZ is by the former Banpresto guys at Monolith Tokyo.

Probably the 3DS game they teased a while back.
It would be crazy for them to reveal the Wii U titles when they just had the direct.
EXCITED!

people keep telling me every year Nintendo does not do TGS yet every year they drop bombs right around the same time smh
Eh. If you wanted to play it, you easily could have. The freeloader was already dirt cheap at the time and importing US games not more expensive than buying a game locally in Europe.
Personally, I bought BK0 2,5 years ago for 20€ and played it on a modded Wii...
And it's still Monolith's best RPG
A new IP for the Wii U is all but confirmed, but we definitely won't see it at TGS.
I mean, yay, but, sigh.

Sweet news.

Well now! That explains a lot, thanks.
Funny that they have former-Banpresto guys at Monolith Tokyo now, so how many teams do we have now? Three? This Tokyo team, the console Xenoblade team, and the Kyoto 3DS team?KuwabaraTheMan

They didn't exactly show that off early or anything. It was revealed during E3 2009, and it was out a year later in June 2010. Even by Nintendo standards, I wouldn't say that's really early.
They've had two years to work on it, but it is their first HD game, so it probably won't be out until 2014. An official unveiling sometime next year would make sense.

Oh, this is interesting!
Nintendo was last week. They're not at TGS - they never are. They usually do their fall conference around TGS, but that's their own thing, and it's possible the Wii U thing last week was their "fall conference". I don't think it was (no 3DS stuff), but with Nintendo, you never know. They usually don't announce anything more than 24 hours in advance anymore...

Starring Rebecca de Mornay as Melia.
Karl gains XP not by battling enemies, but by battling Ricky Gervais' insults via mobile phone.
The items available for pickup throughout the world consist entirely of packets of monster munch.

Also, the enemies are called the "Boswellox".
Why not get it now? You need a good hundred hours to finish it, and you wouldn't want to play any Wii U games if you have Xenoblade too!
Xenoblade absolutely owned my life for two weeks non stop. Engrossing as all hell.
...on my fifth playthrough now.
I'd suggest to get it now. Don't think this game will ever get a second print run.

I don't care what it is as long as it's the Wii U equivalent of Xenoblade!
It took 5 months for my brother to complete this game, he squeezed the heck out of it as much as he could. lol
Damn, Xenoblade is right up there with Chrono Trigger as one of the best RPG's ever and best Wii game in my opinion.

Yeah seriously. Xenogears is like $200 now lol
I refuse to believe
even though it's highly unlikely we'll ever see another installment

Xenoblade HD Complete on Wii U, collectors edition comes with a Riki plushie. More quests and an expanded plotline. Comes with book that explains how Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade all tie together as a single universe >_>
