Xenoblade 3 Nopon Archsage Adam Howden

Here’s a bit of trivia that may blow your mind: Adam Howden, who played Shulk in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, is the voice of the Nopon Archsage in the new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC. It goes without saying, but this is specifically for the English version.

The Nopon Archsage was just added as part of the game’s Expansion Pass. He’s included in the new Challenge Battles where players take on consecutive enemies to earn accessories and special outfits.

The latest UK software sales for the week ending October 8, 2022 are as follows:

Bellibolt Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed Bellibolt, another new creature for the games. This is said to be an EleFrog Pokemon.

According to The Pokemon Company, “Bellibolt expands and contracts its elastic body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button. The huge amount of electricity generated this way is then discharged from the two bumps on either side of its head that resemble eyeballs.​ Its actual eyes are adorably small and round.”
