Capcom has uploaded five separate trailers for weapons featured in Monster Hunter XX. While the videos aren’t in English, we can see that each features a different weapon from the game, while also showcasing the new “brave style” combat gauge that allows you to fuel special attacks from parrying blows. The weapon trailers are listed below in the order of: Bow and Arrow, Heavy Bowgun, Light Bowgun, Insect Glaive and Charge Axe. You can find the videos after the break.
Some new footage of Ballon Fight on the NES Classic Edition was uploaded to YouTube. You can watch the video for yourself below.
News surfaced earlier today that Wii U production will soon be ending in Japan. Nintendo of America has since commented on the situation and provided an update regarding the console’s status in North America.
In terms of what’s happening in the states, Nintendo says “all Wii U hardware that will be made available in the North American market for this fiscal year has already been shipped to our retail partners.” Those who are interested are advised to keep check of availability with retailers.

We can confirm that as of today, all Wii U hardware that will be made available in the North American market for this fiscal year has already been shipped to our retail partners. We encourage anyone who wants Wii U to communicate with their preferred retail outlet to monitor availability.”
