amiibo tap: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits also launching next week in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
amiibo tap: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits came to Japan earlier this week. We recently found out that the app is coming to Europe next week, and we can now say the same for North America.
Nintendo will launch amiibo tap: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits through the North American Wii U eShop on April 30. You can find a brief overview below.
amiibo tap: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits (confirmed for April 30): Download the game from the Nintendo eShop for Wii U, then tap any amiibo to your Wii U GamePad. You’ll unlock a random playable three-minute scene from a classic NES or Super NES game. It’s a cool way to extend the playability of amiibo.

With today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, some fans were hoping that we’d hear about a release date for the west. That definitely did not happen, but Nintendo did reconfirm its original, vague timeframe for release. Xenoblade Chronicles X will launch “later this year.” Beyond that, we have no idea when!

Xenoblade Chronicles X English continent names, Dolls are now “Skells”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: Nintendo said during the Treehouse portion of the presentation that the localization is a work in progress. I have a feeling that the “Skells” name will stick (and probably the continent names as well), but keep that in mind!
During today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, Nintendo confirmed the English names of the game’s five continents. They are as follows:
Primordia (the first area)
Noctilum (the Forest of Nightglow)
Oblivia (the Valley of Oblivion)
Sylvalum (the Continent of White Trees)
Cauldros (the Continent of Black Steel)
The “Dolls”, which are Xenoblade Chronicles X’s mechs, are also getting a name change. They’ll be called “Skells” in the English version.
Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Direct and Treehouse presentation live stream
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U | 9 Comments
Technically this isn’t a Nintendo Direct, as Nintendo calls it a “video showcase”. In any case, we’ll go with that to make things easier.
Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X broadcast will kick off at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT / 7 PM in the UK / 8 PM in Europe. Don’t forget to stick around after it ends for an additional Treehouse presentation.
You can watch all of today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X goodness below. I’m not planning a live blog since the information will largely be rehash of what we’ve already covered extensively, but if we hear anything about something like a release date, it will be on the site immediately.
