Update: It looks like this is now pretty much confirmed. Based on what’s stated on the Japanese page and a new tweet from Nintendo of Europe (see below), you should be able to purchase Mewtwo at a later date.

Nintendo recently updated the North American Club Nintendo website with a page dedicated to Smash Bros. offers. Those who register the Wii U and 3DS games will be able to receive a soundtrack CD and free Mewtwo DLC.

We posted Club Nintendo’s Smash Bros. soundtrack/Mewtwo overview earlier today. You can find that here.

What we didn’t post is a small but important notice about the Mewtwo DLC. Nintendo states on Club Nintendo that the content “may be available for purchase in the future.” Hmm…

Tetsuya Takahashi has once again taken to the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account and has shared another message about the game.

There’s not too much new here, though Takahashi reiterates that Monolith Soft’s RPG is nearing the end of development. He also mentions that the team managed “to overcome several obstacles as far as game development goes.”

Here’s Takahashi’s message in full:

“This is a continuation of our my previous talk. The development [of Xenoblade Chronicles X] did have its twists and turns, but we were able to finish up (just a little more until it’s complete) Xenoblade Chronicles X in the sci-fi world we aimed for from the beginning in a seamless open-world with online play, and I feel that we were able to overcome several obstacles as far as game development goes.”

“With the vast world that was shown when Iwata-san introduced the game in the Nintendo Direct the other day, it would bring me great pleasure to have you folks get to thoroughly explore it.”

We knew that there’d be some connectivity between the Wii U and 3DS version of Smash and today Sakurai talks a little bit about how that will work:

 

This is what the screen looks like on the 3DS version when you link it with the Wii U version. We included this hoping that it might work as a remedy when you don’t have enough controllers.
