NintenDaan has uploaded a new video with unboxings for the Robin, Lucina and Ness amiibo. View it below.
Update: Nintendo said during the Treehouse portion of the presentation that the localization is a work in progress. I have a feeling that the “Skells” name will stick (and probably the continent names as well), but keep that in mind!
During today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation, Nintendo confirmed the English names of the game’s five continents. They are as follows:
Primordia (the first area)
Noctilum (the Forest of Nightglow)
Oblivia (the Valley of Oblivion)
Sylvalum (the Continent of White Trees)
Cauldros (the Continent of Black Steel)
The “Dolls”, which are Xenoblade Chronicles X’s mechs, are also getting a name change. They’ll be called “Skells” in the English version.
Technically this isn’t a Nintendo Direct, as Nintendo calls it a “video showcase”. In any case, we’ll go with that to make things easier.
Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X broadcast will kick off at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT / 7 PM in the UK / 8 PM in Europe. Don’t forget to stick around after it ends for an additional Treehouse presentation.
You can watch all of today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X goodness below. I’m not planning a live blog since the information will largely be rehash of what we’ve already covered extensively, but if we hear anything about something like a release date, it will be on the site immediately.
