Kotaku has a very interesting article up covering the localization of Xenoblade Chronicles X, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Nintendo’s localizations in general. The site spoke with Monolith Soft CEO Tetsuya Takahashi, Nintendo’s Genki Yokota, and Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime.

Takahashi himself commented on the changes that were made for Xenoblade Chronicles X in the west, like removing a bikini for one of the characters (Lin). We also have confirmation that Nintendo of Europe is handling Xenoblade Chronicles 2 like the original Wii game instead of Nintendo of America. There’s talk here about Nintendo’s localization process as well.

Find comments from Kotaku’s article below. You can read the full thing here.

Update: Sold out now. Lasted a few minutes at least!


Original: Switch is in stock on Best Buy once again. Both options are available: gray and neon. You can place an order here.

Taykey says that the online conversation volume generated from the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video presentation was 108 percent more than Xbox. 51 percent of all online conversations surrounding Nintendo reflected positive feedback as well compared to Xbox’s 58 percent. This can be attributed to the fan-favorite announcements Nintendo made and showed, including Metroid Prime 4.
