Prima is working on a guide for Splatoon, according to a listing on Amazon. There is no collector’s edition version planned – just a standard release. That being said, there’s plenty of information packed inside Splatoon’s 240-page guide.

Below is an overview as to what’s included:

Rumor has it that Grand Theft Auto V was once prototyped for Wii U. That comes from Unseen64’s Liam Robertson, who tends to be in the know when it comes to cancelled projects and development secrets.

Robertson was in touch with “a reliable source”, who claims that the prototype “was an earlier version of GTA V.” It was apparently a brief period when this took place. Sadly, further details are unknown.

Rockstar indicated back in November 2012 that the company was open to bringing Grand Theft Auto V to various platforms such as Wii U. Nothing came from that, however.

Another round of details have been translated from the Xenoblade Chronicles X. We get to learn more about battles, including the Overclock Gear feature. You’ll find the full set of information below.

– Battle flow is dependent on the order and timing of arts usage as well as your relative position
– Combo attacks are arts with descriptions like “Increases damage if used following a Melee Art” or “Increases damage if used following a Ranged Art”
– This makes it possible to achieve greater effects than normal through combinations
– Link arts together skillfully to increase the damage you do to enemies
– Certain arts inflict the “Break” status effect on enemies
– Use an art with the “Topple” effect while enemies are suffering from “Break” to prevent them from moving for a short time
– Your attacks will never miss when this happens
– Additionally, all damage is increased by 1.5 times while they’re suffering from Topple
– There are also arts that inflict more damage while an enemy is Toppled
– If you don’t Break them first, enemies will not Topple
– Attack an enemy from behind, above, or below to increase your accuracy and critical hit rates
– Some arts have special effects when used from the side or back
– Can target different parts of an enemy
– By destroying a part, an enemy will be unable to use it to attack
– Earn extra rewards after battle by destroying parts
– Get the “Overclock Gear” after progressing through the story to a certain point
– This technique is powerful, but it drains 3000 TP to give you massively improved battle capabilities for a short time
– When enabled, your arts’ Recast time is drastically reduced
– Overclock Gear has “Triple Recasts”, which allow your arts to charge up for a third time
– TP you’ve accumulated carries over between fights
– Gear Counter: Changes color depending on the arts used
– Gear Time: A meter that slowly decreases; the OC Gear ends when it empties

Listings on VGMdb reveal details about soundtracks for both Xenoblade Chronicles X and Bravely Second.

Xenoblade Chronicles X’s soundtrack is due out on May 20 for 4,298 yen. Five CDs are included. We know that DefSTAR RECORDS is publishing the soundtrack, and of course, Hiroyuki Sawano is the composer.

Bravely Second’s soundtrack is apparently set to arrive on May 20 as well, though we don’t have pricing information currently. Two CDs are included. Additionally, Square Enix is publishing the soundtrack directly.
