Nintendo reveals two upcoming Wii role-players have seen name changes. Full details on these two titles inside...

RPG fans rejoice, as Nintendo adds two new role-players to its Japanese release list. Baten Kaitos developers Monolith Soft are developing a Wii title named Xenoblade, while Nintendo is partnering with Mistawalker to bring us a title named The Last Story.

But wait, are these really new titles? Apparently not. Xenoblade is apparently the new name for Monado: The Beginning of the World which was announced at last year's E3. Nintendo now also have a placeholder site open for it here - with some rather pretty music.

This is the first we've heard of the game since last E3, and we were beginning to worry it was another PROJECT H.A.M.M.E.R. situation - so it's good to get some confirmation the title is still alive. Especially when it looks so freaking cool.

Gaming blog Kotaku meanwhile reckons The Last Story could be long-forgotten title Cosmic Walker, first revealed in a reel of clips from upcoming Wii titles shown back at Nintendo's Autumn press conference in October 2008. Seemingly developed in-house, even less is known about this one, save for the few screenshots below.

Mysterious...

Both titles are listed with a vague "2010" release date in Japan, while in other news, Metroid: Other M now has a slightly less vague "Summer 2010" release window. Any updates, we'll keep you posted.
