Update: It looks like this is now pretty much confirmed. Based on what’s stated on the Japanese page and a new tweet from Nintendo of Europe (see below), you should be able to purchase Mewtwo at a later date.

Nintendo recently updated the North American Club Nintendo website with a page dedicated to Smash Bros. offers. Those who register the Wii U and 3DS games will be able to receive a soundtrack CD and free Mewtwo DLC.

We posted Club Nintendo’s Smash Bros. soundtrack/Mewtwo overview earlier today. You can find that here.

What we didn’t post is a small but important notice about the Mewtwo DLC. Nintendo states on Club Nintendo that the content “may be available for purchase in the future.” Hmm…

Tetsuya Takahashi has once again taken to the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account and has shared another message about the game.

There’s not too much new here, though Takahashi reiterates that Monolith Soft’s RPG is nearing the end of development. He also mentions that the team managed “to overcome several obstacles as far as game development goes.”

Here’s Takahashi’s message in full:

“This is a continuation of our my previous talk. The development [of Xenoblade Chronicles X] did have its twists and turns, but we were able to finish up (just a little more until it’s complete) Xenoblade Chronicles X in the sci-fi world we aimed for from the beginning in a seamless open-world with online play, and I feel that we were able to overcome several obstacles as far as game development goes.”

“With the vast world that was shown when Iwata-san introduced the game in the Nintendo Direct the other day, it would bring me great pleasure to have you folks get to thoroughly explore it.”

There are at least two other retailer-exclusive amiibos as well. Shulk will only be available at GameStop, and Best Buy will be the only store selling Meta Knight.

This month’s issue of EDGE contains a feature on No More Heroes. Of course, the article wouldn’t be complete without an interview with director Goichi Suda – otherwise known as Suda51.

Suda51 talked about a number of topics while speaking with EDGE. Some of his responses are more notable of others, such as him stating that Nintendo was supportive of the franchise despite its mature nature:

They were very supportive, especially Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe. In Japan and also in Europe, we released a lighter version, where the heads don’t fly like they do in the American version. The mature content was only in the American version.

Elsewhere in the interview, Suda51 mentioned that he’d eventually like to return to the No More Heroes series:

No More Heroes was a smash hit as far as we were concerned, and I wanted to return to it and to make it a series over which we would take great care. I often get asked to make a third game. Right now we’re busy with Let It Die, but Travis is a character we could even return to in ten years’ time. When the timing is right, I’d like to do so.
