Monolith Soft recently opened the Xenoblade Chronicles X teaser site and have been quite surprised at the traffic the site has recieved.

As we previously reported, according to the new site the game is nearing the final stages of completion.
Recently, the newly opened site experienced an overload due to so many fans checking it out that Monolith Soft has had to scramble and come up with a solution to figure out new server rental plans.

According to Monolith Soft, the main problem came from the number of fans downloading the Theme song from the front page as well as those who where listening to it on a loop.

To fix the problem, they’ve decided to turn off the loop and lower the bit rate for the track.

Finally, at the end of their blog post, they teased, “Huh? Online elements? Of course (the game) will have some!”.

As the site continues to be updated we will keep you posted, stay tuned for future announcements.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is expected to release in 2015.

Since it’s Melee debut, the Temple stage has fast become a Smash staple and today Sakurai shows off how its latest incarnation will look complete with 8 players:

The one large change we made to this stage is this Hylian text. I wonder what it says? Also featured in this pic is Link in Fierce Deity colors.

Nintendo’s Japanese amiibo website confirms additional functionality for some figures.

First, Toon Link will be compatible in Mario Kart 8 – likely another Mii costume. Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik are also supported in Hyrule Warriors.

You may recall that Nintendo announced amiibo functionality for all of the Smash Bros. figures in Hyrule Warriors during last week’s Nintendo Direct. However, it seems that Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik will offer unique functionality rather than randomly selected materials, weapons and rupees.

Nintendo is releasing amiibo figures in waves. In Japan, there will be eight figures in round two and another three in the third set.

Fan favorites like Shulk and Rosalina will be available in the second set. And perhaps most importantly, the first third-party figures are releasing in the third – Sonic and Mega Man.

Most of the figures pictured above are due out in Japan on January 22. Shulk, Sonic, and Mega Man are the three expected in February. Pricing is set at 1,200 yen each.

To summarize:

January 22

Lucario
Rosalina
Bowser
Toon Link
Sheik
Ike
Meta Knight
King Dedede

February

Shulk
Sonic
Mega Man

Just as a reminder, this is for Japan only. It’s slightly confusing because the amiibo rounds are different between the west and Japan. We’re getting Zelda, Luigi, and a few others in December, which is round two for us. But Japan is getting all of these figures in their first round at launch.

Sonic Boom is a game that will probably need a patch, if possible. Unfortunately, it appears to be affected by quite a number of bugs.

Take a look at the video above for just one example. If you checked out the videos we posted yesterday (since removed), you may have also seen a glitch that allowed players to easily go beyond the boundaries of the game world into oblivion.

Yet another Wii U system update is now available. Version 5.3.0 can be downloaded by visiting system settings.

Speaking of system settings, that’s what today’s update is all about. You’ll now find a new category for amiibo. By visiting the amiibo settings, users can register an amiibo owner/nickname, delete data written to an amiibo, or reset amiibo.

Additionally, Nintendo has also improved Wii U stability and usability.

Head past the break for Nintendo’s official update notes.

Nintendo sells lots of refurbished items on its store, ranging from consoles to controllers. That includes the Wii Remote Plus, which is available for only $15 (I assume you’ll need to throw in a bit more for shipping). You can check out the official product page here.
