Capcom showed off a bunch of Project X Zone 2 footage during a recent show event on YouTube. You can watch the various gameplay below.
By the way, there is something we want to pass along from the Japanese Project X Zone 2 blog. In the west, the game will be pretty much the same as its Japanese counterpart.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 31 Comments
VIZ Media has high hopes for Yo-kai Watch. Waell Oueslati, EMEA associate brand manager at Viz Media, recently told MCV that he believes the franchise could be the next Pokemon.
Oueslati said:
“This will be the next big boys’ brand, essentially the next Pokémon. We have very high expectations for the market and for the UK. We are certainly bigger than Pokémon in Japan; we currently have 95 per cent market share in that region.”
In case you’re curious, VIZ Media is in charge of Yo-kai Watch’s comics and TV show in both North America and Europe.

Xenoblade Chronicles X – Lin’s outfits changed in the west, age remains the same
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 280 Comments
Update: Despite what Game Informer previously reported, Lin’s age has not been changed in the west. John Ricciardi, from localization company 8-4, says that she’s still 13.
For the western version of Xenoblade Chronicles X, Nintendo and Monolith Soft have changed a few outfits for Lin. This character is 13 years-old in the Japanese version, and just a couple of years older in the western version.
In the images above, the more-revealing outfits are from the Japanese version. The ones with less skin exposed are from the European (and presumably North American) version.
Kimishima – wants 100-200 million My Nintendo members, Miitomo talk, NX offers new experience
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Mobile, News, Switch | 32 Comments
More tidbits have been translated from Nikkei’s interview with Nintendo president and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima.
We already heard Kimishima’s mention that Nintendo has interest in bringing its mobile apps to over 100 countries (with eight supported languages). We also heard him mention that he believes Nintendo could exceed profits from the Wii and DS days.
In terms of what’s new, here’s what Kimishima said when asked when the localization of Nintendo’s mobile apps will take place:
“I want to do it as soon as possible. This is because our goal is to increase the number of My Nintendo members. It would be good if we reached one hundred or two hundred million members.”
Kimishima was also asked if Nintendo will lose money on Miitomo. He replied with the following:
“If you want to dress your Mii in certain outfits, it’ll be so that you can select and purchase them. Also, it will have game elements.”
Finally, Kimishima did briefly touch on NX. Of course, Nintendo won’t be talking about it until next year, but it “offers a totally new experience.” He also wants it to be adopted quicker than the 3DS and the Wii U.
