Nintendo UK community manager James Bowden caught up with JRPG enthusiast, streamer, and speed-runner Alexander ‘Bowie’ Pett to show off the areas of Uraya and Mor Ardain in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Watch the footage below.
Now that Nintendo has lifted the embargo, some of the first reviews are coming in for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. We’ve rounded up a few of the early verdicts below.
The first scans have surfaced for My Hero Academia: One’s Justice, which Bandai Namco is bringing to Switch. We have both attached to this post.
A variety of Fire Emblem Heroes news today: first up, a new set of Arena quests are now available. These quests require you to win Arena duels at any difficulty and win a number of consecutive battles in Arena Assault. These quests are available in three difficulty settings (Normal, Hard and Lunatic) and you need to clear the lower difficulty quests first to unlock the higher level ones. The Arena quests reward you with Dueling Crests, Stamina Potions and Orbs while you can get the new Refining Stones from the Arena Assault quests. These quests will be available for the next two weeks.
Next, all players will soon receive 5 Orbs, 50 Refining Stones and 500 Arena Medals. These are being sent out as an apology because some of the weapon descriptions in the new Weapon Refinery are incorrect.
Finally, the December wallpapers have been revealed – they feature that characters that ranked 10th in the Choose Your Legends poll, Leo and Nowi.
Capcom has announced that they will be holding a 30th anniversary Mega Man live stream on December 4th, from 11 AM to 12 PM PST on Twitch. We don’t really have any further details at this moment, other than Capcom’s insistence that “you won’t want to miss it”. The Mega Man franchise hasn’t exactly been booming lately, so it’s quite possible that this event won’t have any gaming-related news at all (or nothing Nintendo-related). In any case, if there are any big announcements during that live stream, you will hear about it from us.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is finally out tomorrow, and it looks like Monolith Soft saved the biggest rare Blade reveal till the end – KOS-MOS Re: from Xenosaga. This likely doesn’t have any real story significance, but it’s a nice nod to the series’ roots nonetheless. KOS-MOS Re: is voiced by Mariko Suzuki, who also voiced her in the Xenosaga games. Similarly, her Blade design was done by Kunihiko Tanaka, who was also the character designer in the Xenosaga games. Below is her summoning sequence:

■ Characters
Thomas Wagner (voiced by Shigeyuki Susaki) (New Playable Character)
A graduate of the 104th Cadet Corps. His performance as a Cadet was not enough to put him in the top ten of his year.

Nile Dawk (voiced by Anri Katsu) (New Playable Character)

Marlo (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita) (New Playable Character)
A new recruit in the Military Police Regiment who has been dispatched to the same Stohess District branch as Annie and Hitch. He plans to someday reform the now-undisciplined and corrupt Regiment into a just organization.
