Unlock a “fashion equipment” option after completing Xenoblade Chronicles X
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
There’s a neat little reward waiting for those who complete Xenoblade Chronicles X. In today’s Japanese Twitter update, director Koh Kojima reveals that players will unlock a “fashion equipment” option in the equipment menu. This allows for the customization of your character’s visual equipment without changing stats. It’s a separate thing that isn’t tied into combat.
Kojima also mentioned in another tweet: “Also, it appears that there are users that are concerned about creating their avatar, but you’ll be fine even if you just create one quickly and begin playing, probably.” It’s thought that Kojima is indicating that a character’s look can be customized once the game begins.
Xenoblade Chronicles X will have paid DLC quests

We’ve known for some time that Xenoblade Chronicles X would be receiving DLC quests. With the game’s download card having surfaced in Japan, it’s been made clear that players will need to pay for at least some of these.
Nintendo and Monolith Soft haven’t said much about Xenoblade Chronicles X’s online features, but that should change later this week. A new live stream taking place on Friday will explain network features in-depth.

[Review] Affordable Space Adventures

System: Wii U (eShop)
Release: April 9, 2015
Developer: KnapNok Games & Nifflas Games
Publisher: KnapNok Games

I have to confess, I’m not a fan of the Wii U’s GamePad. For a peripheral that comes with every console, very few games have justified using this massive tablet over a more conventional controller. Sure, off-TV play is great and some of the early releases like ZombiU and Game & Wario provided a nice taste of what the controller was capable of, but the GamePad as a whole smacks of wasted potential. Thankfully, next week sees the eShop release of Affordable Space Adventures, a planet-exploring puzzle game that promises to put the GamePad to good use. If any studio can use this pricey controller effectively it’s developer KnapNok Games, who previously published Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party, one of the few titles that did use the GamePad in interesting ways to create an quirky co-operative experience. Joining them in this collaboration is game designer Nicklas “Nifflas” Nygren, who has produced several moody games based around exploration including Knytt Underground. These two European studios both have very different styles, so how well do they mesh and deliver on their promise that the game “truly utilizes the potential of the Wii U”?
