Nintendo Everything

In the upcoming Dragon Quest X Version 3 releasing in Japan we will see a return of the Sugoroku mini-games.

The mini-games will be playable in the Casino’s Bingo Hall area and can be played either solo or up to four players. In these games you will acquire coins that you can then trade-in at the Casino.

Here are a few more details about the mini-game:

– Special End bosses are different but if reached you will be rewarded

– Treasure chests will provide you with useful items and coins, but beware to open a bad one

– Temple of Dharma space where you can change jobs

– Hocus Pocus spell also has its own space.

There is no doubt that when it comes to RPGs, some of the best music is composed for them. Xenoblade Chronicles is no different. With the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D around the corner, Nintendo has posted live performances of a few of the soundtrack’s tunes, which was also streamed live during a special Xenoblade Chronicles 3D presentation just a few days ago. Listen to all five performances of the gorgeous compositions below.

If I said it once, I said it a million times; complicated games are not my forte. While most would prefer to spend hours grinding in the latest MMO and cry their eyes out from life-draining games such as Dark Souls, you’ll most likely find me playing Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker alone in my room and giddying with excitement waiting for Toad to do the next adorable thing. As sad of a life choice that may seem, I honestly prefer it this way. Why slay mighty beasts when I can admire the ever-so-cute Toad all day?

I had a set plan in place for this week’s Just a Chat, but everything changed when Nintendo announced a delay for Zelda Wii U. That’s the big story for this week’s discussion. Still, Daan and I get around to some other topics as well, including tidbits from Satoru Iwata, Splatoon, and Smash Bros.
