The PixlBit crew takes a look at the GameCube's cult classic Baten Kaitos series and discusses the possibility of this series being revived in the future.
Monolith Soft isn’t just known for the Xenoblade franchise. The studio has worked on many games over the years, including the GameCube-exclusive series Baten Kaitos. Two titles released on the platform, but it sounds like there were plans for a third entry as well. Director Yasuyuki Honne has revealed that Baten Kaitos III was planned and was in pre-production.
Please for the love of humanity go back and work on it!!! You guys need a break from xenoblade. And remaster the 1st and 2nd game while your at it. Baten Kaitos was one of those old jrpgs that NEEDS to be brought back.
People are always finding new and exciting ways to change up gameplay and combat tends to be a prime area for experimentation. Sometimes it works, other times it's downright odd. Sometimes both. Here are 6 games with weird but good battle systems.
Check your back catalogue, Nintendo. The Nintendo GameCube has a fantastic library of games and quite a lot of them haven't seen the light of day since. This article lists ten games and series that started and unfortunately ended on the GameCube. Therefore, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron doesn't count (since it started on Nintendo 64) and neither does Metroid Prime (since it has a sequel on Wii). Anyway, I hope you enjoy this list of long-gone but not forgotten GameCube exclusives that definitely deserve sequels.
Baten Kaitos was a decent game. But I want a true good quality sequel to Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos devs are making Xenoblade now
Eternal Darkness devlopers not what they used to be, lost trust with investors and gamers after Too Human and ْX-Men, they couldn fund Shadow of the Eternals, the spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness
It was a good game in its own right... but not really a star fox game. So it has mixed opinions.
Viewtiful Joe 3 would be a peach. Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 were a blast, the spin-off's less so - though not terrible. I'd love a true sequel to launch exclusively for the Wii U, make use of the Gamepad somehow. Eternal Darkness of course needs no mention, and a sequel I hear may be under way...*drool. Also, Wave Race (N64) was an inspiration, its sequel (Blue Storm) very good, but perhaps a step backwards from its predecessor. Now, can you imagine Wave Race U...that water, THAT water, those physics, online enabled, and all wrapped up in HD/60fps!
Viewtiful Joe is an amazing series! But, they're also on PS2 so they don't really apply to this list.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, but not likely as Factor 5 is no more in business.
Factor 5 exist but as a new company can't remember the name, they develop mobile games now but they said on an ign interview they would love to do another star wars game but probably wont happen.
Thanks, I did not know that. But yeah, probably no hope of Rogue Leader sequel anyhow.
