A few new tweets were added to the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account earlier today. Director Tetsuya Takahashi shared an update on the game’s artists (which extends to the alien races) and script. For the new information, take a look at the summary below.

– Aside from Kunihiko Tanaka’s designs, the team has many other artists working on different types of designs
– Different alien races in the game
– Wants to really bring out the various unique characteristics in their cultures
– For the graphics in the game to be able to reflect the different cultures, they have different artists fleshing out the details in the design phase
– We’ve apparently seen one of the unannounced races on the early tease site from Monolith Soft
– The script isn’t written by Yuichiro Takeda alone
– Compared to Xenoblade, this time there’s a lot more text to handle
– Kazuho Hyodo (an anime script writer) was brought in to help with the workload
– Since he has much experience with sci-fi works, Takahashi is not worried
– Some design staff will be introduced next week

The latest Splatoon update covers the squids’ ability to pass through wire fences. View the new screenshot above, and some information from the game’s Japanese Twitter account below.

It appears that when transformed into squids, the Inklings can pass through wire fences. The can use this special ability to take shortcuts and hidden pathways. However! They must be careful as if they transform while on to of a wire fence, they will fall to the bottom. With that said, what are their bodies made out of that it allows them to do this???

Recently, probably because I’ve been thinking about squids non-stop, I can’t help but notice them everywhere – even at the supermarket.

The other day, I bought a packet of a certain type of calamari for 150 yen. I pan fried it with butter and soy sauce, then dipped it in mayonnaise that was mixed with some ground up chilli pepper seeds. I wonder if it it is alright for something so delicious to exist…..

European Smashers, the wait is finally over! It’s been a long week but the release has finally come. In addition to rejoicing that fact, Sakurai talks a bit about the Wrecking Crew stage, exclusive to Wii U:

he continues:

You might get stuck inside a metal barrel that falls from above. Players can attack you while you’re stuck, so get yourself out by mashing buttons.

With both Smash Wii U / 3DS now out in both Europe and North America, this will be our last ever daily screenshot post! If you want to keep up with the remainder of Sakurai’s posts you can do so on the Miiverse page here. It’s definitely been a fun ride up to launch but now all that’s left to do is enjoy the games!
