Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has reached a major milestone in its development. Music production is now complete, according to composer Yasunori Mitsuda.

Mitsuda tweeted out the news with a celebratory picture:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is scheduled to arrive this holiday, despite skepticism that the RPG will make it out in 2017. With the soundtrack wrapping up, a launch this year shouldn’t be out of the picture.

Nintendo has started distribution of another update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Players with access to the game can download version 1.2.1.

Today’s update specifically addresses one particular problem. The single patch note from Nintendo states, “Corrected an issue that prolonged the time to return to the lobby after races near the start and end times of online tournaments.”

And that’s it. Nothing too huge, but it’s always good to see issues being addressed.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

It’s troubling times for Japan Display Inc. having suffered a net loss of 31.5 billion yen this past financial quarter. The company could be forced to partner with a Chinese or Taiwanese entity if it intends to survive, and 3,700 people will be laid off – or 30 percent of its total workforce. That’s significant in the Nintendo scene as Japan Display is the sole supplier for Switch screens.

Takashi Mochizuki, who wrote about the news for WSJ, says that Japan Display’s business with Nintendo isn’t that big since Switch uses cheaper panels. The number of Switch units produced is also much lower than the amount of screens created for Apple products. A notable part of Japan Display’s troubles have come about due to Apple moving away from liquid crystal displays in favor of OLED screens.

It’s not entirely clear how this news will impact Nintendo and Switch, if at all. We’ll keep an eye on the situation going forward.
