We previously saw one New 3DS Zelda face plate for Japan, which features the Skull Kid. Nintendo unveiled another Zelda-related face plate today, and it looks pretty nice! You can get a look at it above.
Nintendo has opened the Japanese website for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. You can find it here.
One interesting note: the page confirms that amiibo will be supported. amiibo (or StreetPass) can be used to obtain tokens, which can be used to draw lots for Collection Mode.
That didn’t take long! We now have a look at what’s included in the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U bundle. Nintendo is including a copy of the game, 32GB Wii U console, black GamePad, Xenoblade Chronicles X art book, special map, and a specially-designed 1,000 yen pre-paid card. Check out an image showing off the bundle above.
It was revealed during today’s Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation that a bundle for the game is in the works. No photos were shared, but it’s been confirmed that the package will cost 35,000 yen. Xenoblade Chronicles X will also be a game that makes use of the Wii U’s pre-load functionality.
Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X presentation will kick off at 8 AM ET / 5 AM ET / 10 PM Japan time (five hours from now). You can watch it in full through the live stream below.
Depending on how things go, this post may act as a live blog as well. We’ll see. If that happens, updates will be posted underneath the embedded stream.
– Trailer translation 1: Open number 8. You’re still alive. Are you okay? Don’t push it. You just woke up. You’re the only one to wake up. I’m Elma
– Trailer translation 2: Our journey from Earth was suddenly cut short. We had to make an emergency landing. This is the planet we landed on. It’s still untamed.
– NLA: industrial area, at the entrance; lots of weaponized machinery is made here
– Commercial area: lots of people gather here. Elma likes to go shopping.
– Residential area: where everyone lives
– BLADE area: military’s headquarters. Lots of weapons and equipment can be bought and stored here.
– Blades are the police and military, protecting the city. They’re also used in recon.
– Life is the support system. Some life pods broke off.
– Need to go find life pods scattered across the world to recover survivors.
– Lin will explain the Frontier Net. Your position is shown.
– The shining beam is a Frontier Spot, where you can gather information from data probes. They collect info about the places you set them.
– This probe found a treasure nearby. Each area’s objectives are revealed through the data probes. Find 100% of the objectives!
– As you place probes, the dialogue of NLA residents will be expanded. Quests can be undertaken from NLA residents or directly from BLADE
– If you succeed in your quests, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. Be sure to clear them. Relationships between characters expand by interacting.
– Planet Mira is still largely unexplored, and there’s lots of room to explore. Tatsu will continue explaining. There are several continents.
– NLA is on the grassland continent. Next is the Night Light Forest continent. Then, the Forgotten Canyon. They’re all huge. The White Forest.
– Finally, the Black Steel continent. It’s a volcanic area. It’s really huge! Tatsu keeps saying the continents are huge. He can’t help it.
– There are so many locations in each continent that they can’t all be explained. Each has a number of landmarks, secret areas, and vistas.
– Did you think traveling would be a hassle? You can dash, jump, and skip travel to data probes you’ve placed. Navigation Ball helps the lost.
– If you get a Doll (mech), you can travel even faster by transforming into a vehicle or taking to the sky. Find new areas to explore.
– Dolls can’t just be used by anyone, only certified BLADE members. Creatures of Planet Mira. There are many different kinds, big and small.
– It’s best to avoid creatures that are far above your level. Watch out for obards. Creatures with special names require caution.
– Alien species, friendly and hostile, can be interacted with. Our objective is to seek out the Life Points. Sometimes we have to fight.
– Next time, we’ll teach you the skills you’ll need for survival.
