Xenoblade Chronicles X executive director on HD development and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Xenoblade Chronicles X is finally coming to Japan next week. With the game’s release so close, Joshin Web was able to ask director Tetsuya Takahashi about the Wii U game. We’ve now translated a few notable quotes.
One question has Takahashi being asked about Xenoblade Chronicles X’s development. In turn, he discusses the challenges working on an HD title for the first time.
He said:
An open world is a single phrase, but it wasn’t a simple thing to realize. As you know, it was our first HD title. The environment for development was drastically different compared to anything we had done before when it comes to distributing resources or formulating workloads. You can’t expect things to get done in a day and it finally took form as a result of many adjustments. There were many hardships, but it was worth the trouble as the gameplay turned out to be pleasant, even if I say so myself!

Nintendo reconfirms that Xenoblade Chronicles X is due out “later this year” in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 16 Comments
With today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, some fans were hoping that we’d hear about a release date for the west. That definitely did not happen, but Nintendo did reconfirm its original, vague timeframe for release. Xenoblade Chronicles X will launch “later this year.” Beyond that, we have no idea when!
Xenoblade Chronicles X English continent names, Dolls are now “Skells”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: Nintendo said during the Treehouse portion of the presentation that the localization is a work in progress. I have a feeling that the “Skells” name will stick (and probably the continent names as well), but keep that in mind!
During today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, Nintendo confirmed the English names of the game’s five continents. They are as follows:
Primordia (the first area)
Noctilum (the Forest of Nightglow)
Oblivia (the Valley of Oblivion)
Sylvalum (the Continent of White Trees)
Cauldros (the Continent of Black Steel)
The “Dolls”, which are Xenoblade Chronicles X’s mechs, are also getting a name change. They’ll be called “Skells” in the English version.
Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Direct and Treehouse presentation live stream
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U | 9 Comments
Technically this isn’t a Nintendo Direct, as Nintendo calls it a “video showcase”. In any case, we’ll go with that to make things easier.
Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X broadcast will kick off at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT / 7 PM in the UK / 8 PM in Europe. Don’t forget to stick around after it ends for an additional Treehouse presentation.
You can watch all of today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X goodness below. I’m not planning a live blog since the information will largely be rehash of what we’ve already covered extensively, but if we hear anything about something like a release date, it will be on the site immediately.
