The latest Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Twitter update is about the “Button Challenge” system. When a Blade performs a special move, pressing the correct buttons shown on screen will increase the power of that move. There’s also a narrator who gives comments based on the success of your button presses. Check out the video in the tweet below that shows the system in action:

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 1 Comment
The latest item distribution has gone live in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch. If you’ve subscribed to the official news channel on the system, you should be seeing a message from director Hidemaro Fujibayashi.
One specific item is being distributed this time around, and it’s a fairly useful one. You’ll get your hands on a Fire Rod upon starting the game. Look for it in a treasure chest as soon as you load up your save file.
