Nintendo has one more big Wii U game due out in the west this year: Xenoblade Chronicles X. The massive RPG will be released towards the very beginning of next month.

Speaking with MCV, Nintendo UK product manager Gemma Hall sounded off on who Xenoblade Chronicles X is intended for, and how the company will go about marketing the title:

“Xenoblade Chronicles X will speak to anyone who loves epic RPGs, as it has everything you could want from a big sweeping sci-fi adventure, with rich diverse landscapes, deep customization options, a unique battling system, and a host of memorable characters. We are therefore not only targeting it towards fans of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, but to broader JRPG fans looking for their next epic RPG adventure. The game is visually sumptuous and will demand the attention of genre fans.

We will be focusing activity initially around Xenoblade Chronicles fans, and then broadening out to wider RPG fans with a tightly targeted digital campaign. Due to the highly visual nature of this game, we are concentrating on video formats that show off the many stunning facets of the title, including the huge open world, giant alien monsters, and the awesome Skell transformations.

We have a wealth of Wii U games that will be part of our Christmas campaign, including Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. However, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a more serious RPG offering, with stunning graphics and sweeping sci-fi story, and so we expect this to open up the Wii U to the more hardcore RPG audience who won’t want to miss out on this future genre classic.”

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth finally hit the Wii U and New 3DS via the eShop earlier this year. Given that, could the expansion – which goes by the name “Afterbirth” – head to Nintendo systems as well? Unfortunately, right now the answer appears to be “no”.

Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez wrote on Twitter a few hours ago:

Some might be surprised to hear that Afterbirth is having difficulties running on Wii U. Regarding that, Rodriguez said the following:

If Play-Asia is accurate, the Pearl White New 3DS XL will be available as a North American-compatible product early next month. The retailer tweeted out the news and also put up a pre-order page here.

This might actually be similar to what happened with the Metallic Blue system a few months back. The Pearl White New 3DS XL might not be getting a widespread North American release, but it could be distributed in certain regions such as Singapore and Malaysia, which seem to use NTSC compatibility. In any case, we’ll keep you posted on any additional news that we come across.

Best Buy has made its Black Friday 2015 deals known. There aren’t a whole lot of Nintendo sales to point out, but there are a few notable things.

One of the more notable discounts is for Splatoon, which will cost just $34.99. Given how Nintendo games tend to keep their value, that isn’t a bad price. Other highlights include $20 off New 3DS XL systems, a $30 Guitar Hero Live discount, and Disney Infinity 3.0 for $40.

You can get a look at Best Buy’s full gaming deals below.
