Last week, it was announced that this Thursday a new fighter plus new support Pokemon would be revealed for Pokken Tournament. However, it seems that we already know who that new fighter is going to be. An image was published today which shows Pokemon variety show Pokenchi presenter Shoko Nakagawa playing the game. In the background, a poster is visible which shows that Sceptile is a playable character and that Electrode and probably Farfetch’d (although it’s hard to tell since the poster is so small) are two new support Pokemon.

As always with images like this there’s a chance that it could be photoshopped so don’t take this as a 100% confirmation yet, however it does seem pretty likely. We will know for sure on Thursday.

Just a few hours ago, we brought up some of the problems with the Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition – specifically the USB drive. This is where the included ten music tracks can be found. To actually access them, you’ll need to start up the “Soundtrack” executable file, which is essentially digital rights managements from Kakasoft. It’s not possible to easily access the music files through normal means (you’ll need to use a different program to extract them).

Unfortunately, it seems as though there are also issues with the implementation of Kakasoft’s program. Reddit user CSFFlame discovered that when booting it up, it “mounts the encrypted folder on the Y drive, then edits the group policy for your computer to block system access to the drive, then edits the registry to hide the drive.” These modifications are not reverted, so it’s impossible to use the drive unless you change things back yourself. This can be a problem in business environments which use drive letters at the end of the alphabet (via Reddit’s WillAdams), so it might not be the best idea to try listening to Xenoblade Chronicles X’s music at work.

There is good news though! CSFFlame successfully discovered a way to restore things to the way they were originally on Win7x64, which will hopefully come in handy to at least some of you. Note that this shouldn’t be a problem for Mac or Linux users since the soundtrack is incompatible with these devices.

Head past the break for CSFFlame’s instructions – follow them at your own risk!

Splatoon’s latest North American Splatfest is running right now, and it’s all about food. Nintendo has now announced the next competition for Europe which carries a similar theme.

European Splatoon players can play the new Splatfest starting next Saturday. The topic asks players if they like putting pineapples on pizza or not.

Here’s the news from Nintendo of Europe’s GTwitter:

Thanks to Brian for the tip.

It’s been a long wait, but Xenoblade Chronicles X finally made it out yesterday in North America (and Europe). Consumers have been able to choose between a standard version or the “Special Edition” at retail. There are some interesting things about the latter package that I wanted to bring up.

First, let’s talk about the USB drive. Although Nintendo never said how much space was included, we now know that its capacity is 800MB. There’s a selection of music tracks included as well, but its implementation is a bit clumsy.
