There are two big topics that receive the focus in this week’s Just a Chat: Level-5’s Vision event – which had plenty of 3DS announcements – and LEGO Dimensions. Aside from that, Daan and I discuss the latest Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, lack of voice chat in Splatoon, and this week’s “Let’s Talk” topic.

We posted a subtitled version of the Xenoblade Chronicles X Dolls/Network presentation a couple of days ago, though it was lacking slightly. This new version, which we’ve attached above, should be a more complete version!

GameSpot was able to submit a few questions to the developers behind Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. That includes Monolith Soft’s Testuya Takahashi, representatives from Monster Games, and representatives from Nintendo SPD.

Most of the interview topics were naturally about the New 3DS title, including the technical challenges behind the project and how Monster Games initially tried bringing it to the original 3DS. There were also questions about the decision to port Xenoblade Chronicles to the New 3DS as opposed to remastering the title for Wii U, and what fans can expect from Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Head on below for the full Q&A roundup. You can also check out GameSpot’s piece here.

Given how Yoshi was in Super Mario World, it would have been strange had he not been featured in Mario Maker. Thankfully, the game’s website does appear to confirm that Yoshi will be in the Wii U title. That isn’t all, however; Kuribo’s Shoe seems to be in as well.
