Infographics are all the rage these days. Nintendo of America has gotten in on the fun with the Xenoblade Chronicles graphic above. You’ll find a rundown of the game’s main characters including the Monado-wielder, Shulk.
Don’t forget – Xenoblade Chronicles will be available in the states on Friday!
Update: Multiplayer.it posted up these shots which are actually from Captivate 2009. Go slap them!
I know a lot of Nintendo fans are hoping Capcom will announce a localized version of Monster Hunter Tri G at Captivate. It’d be nice if that actually happened!
Kid Icarus: Uprising AR cards were added to the UK version of Club Nintendo a couple of weeks ago. North American fans have been wondering if a similar reward would be made available in North America. Fortunately, the answer appears to be yes!
A NOA customer service representative wasn’t able to provide an availability date for the cards, but confirmed that Nintendo “are indeed working on it”.
The representative said:
“Thank you for your feedback on the Club Nintendo services. I have forwarded your message to the appropriate department.
“It is already our plan to release the cards on the Club Nintendo Rewards Program. When they well be available is still undecided but we are indeed working on it!”
Thanks to Alan I for the tip!
Heroes of Ruin won’t be making its original Spring 2012 launch. You can, however, celebrate the start of summer with the n-space’s new game.
IGN stated in a new hands-on preview that Square Enix will ship Heroes of Ruin on June 26. That’s a little less than three months away…
Another lovely reward has arrived on Club Nintendo Japan.
Starting today, members can purchase an original, customized polo shirt for 550 points. You can pick your own color as well as a specialized emblem that will be embedded on the clothing. Rover from Animal Crossing, Mr Game and Watch, Donkey Kong, the Hyrule Crest, Zelda Life Hearts and a Fire Flower are the emblems to choose from.
At the time being, this reward is only available in Japan.
The DSiWare title Tetris Party Live has been pulled from the 3DS eShop. This applies to both North America and Europe.
When asked about the reasoning behind the move, Tetris Online Inc. vice president of marketing Casey Pelkey explained:
“I can confirm that Tetris Party Live is no longer available for sale within the 3DS eShop, effective 3/31/2012. Tetris Online Inc.’s license from The Tetris Company expired at the end of March and there are no plans to renew it.”
For the time being, Tetris Party can still be purchased on the Wii Shop Channel.
Nintendo systems have never been known for MMORPGs. But Funcom developer Joel Bylos believes the “Wii U could be the first real console on which running an MMORPG without compromise is plausible”.
Bylos complimented the console’s controller, saying that it’s “perfect for lining up those rows of hotbars that are essential in most MMOs.”
He told ONM:
“Wii U could be the first real console on which running an MMORPG without compromise is plausible. The controller is perfect for lining up those rows of hotbars that are essential in most MMOs. A customisable touchscreen interface combined with the 3D spatial movement of a console controller could be a winner.”
