French website Gamekult recently published a new interview with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 director Tetsuya Takahashi. Unlike some of the interviews coming out of E3, this one is almost entirely focused on the game itself. Takahashi commented on the visual style and approach to character design, exploration, multiplayer, side quests, and much more. He also commented on the Baten Kaitos DS project that never came to be, though he didn’t have much to say.

We’ve prepared a full translation of Gamekult’s interview. Continue on below to see what Takahashi had to say about all things Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

At Japan Expo this week, GameReactor caught up with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. The discussion included talk about Breath of the Wild and Zelda in general.

Regarding Breath of the Wild, Aonuma reflected on the game’s reaction and those who say that the final boss was too easy. He also spoke in (very) vague terms about the next main Zelda – wanting to include HD Rumble, but it’s a long way off. Also, Aonuma basically said that Link is ambidextrous.

We’ve included what we feel are the more notable comments from Aonuma below. The full interview is on GameReactor here.

Get pumped, fighting fans! A new challenger is joining ARMS on Nintendo Switch as part of a free update coming July 12th. But just who is this new contender? Let’s take a look!

Max Brass – “The Commish”

Anyone who’s made it through the ARMS Grand Prix will know that this is the one and only Max Brass, head honcho of the ARMS League and reignihttp://nintendoeverything.com/wp-admin/themes.phpng champ! When Max Brass charges up, he can pump up his beefy body to maximum buffness – so much so that he barely feels punches!

That’s not all! When his health drops below a certain point, Max’s punches will stay charged up. Hang on a second…doesn’t that sound just like Spring Man?!
