Game Informer was able to conduct an interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, Nintendo, and Monster Games about Xenoblade Chronicles. Takahashi was able to speak about the original game while discussing cut ideas like wanting to have the ability to fly. He also revealed Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai wanted Shulk in the Wii U/3DS games, and had the idea for the bathing suit skin. Other than that, there’s some Xenoblade Chronicles 3D-specific comments from Monster Games.

We’ve rounded up all of the various quotes below. For those that are interested, you can find Game Informer’s original article here.

Some Smash Bros. Wii U players unable to play online due to Mewtwo 10-Man Smash glitch

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments

Some Smash Bros. players on Wii U are experiencing issues playing the game online after obtaining today’s Mewtwo DLC.

The issue comes about for those who have cleared 10-Man Smash with all characters and then beating it again with Mewtwo. After doing so, they encounter a corruption of save data, which resets the overall GPS for the mini-game to zero. When these players attempt to play online, they receive the message: “You have been disconnected because of irregular save data.”

Players will just need to be patient while Nintendo comes up with a fix. Fortunately, this problem only appears to be affecting the Wii U version of Smash Bros., so the 3DS edition should be safe.
