Yesterday, an official Japanese website for Xenoblade Chronicles X opened. Developer Monolith Soft left a message for fans on the game.

Here’s what was shared:

– Monolith Soft began by asking if you fans enjoyed the latest Nintendo Direct
– The game is in the final stages of development
– Staff are all in high spirits
– Nintendo’s own website for the game will need a bit more time to prepare
– Because of this, Monolith opened its own site
– It was something that was made in a hurry, but they were able to create the game’s main visual as seen on the top page of the website
– The folks at Monolith Soft initially feared that they would get in trouble after being told by Nintendo to wait a little longer for the site
– Nintendo simply responded with a “go ahead” and let them create the site
– Monolith isn’t sure if their website will become obsolete once Nintendo opens their own official website or if this one will manage to survive by having its own unique content, which they hope will be part of the fun as the release of the game gets nearer
– Either way, they’ll continue working with it and hope to establish a connection with the fans who check it out
– Fans thanked as well
– Can follow @XenobladeJP on Twitter

Announcements on announcements on announcements! If today’s Direct wasn’t enough, Sakurai has another announcement that wasn’t previously announced at the Smash announcement:

The mobiles are placed in different locations depending on the situation, and they tilt according to weight distribution. The stage also gets rearranged, so the ground may disappear temporarily during a remodel.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has had a rough past few months. We found out that he was suffering from a bile duct growth back in June, which was thankfully taken care of.

Iwata’s surgery resulted in heavy weight less that may have been apparent to some after watching today’s Nintendo Direct. As such, he decided to share a personal message on Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account.

Iwata wrote:

I have seen many comments from people concerned about my weight loss. While it is true that I have lost weight due to a major surgery, my weight has thankfully stabilized now after 2.5 months and I’m progressing well. I am really grateful for everyone supporting me, the doctors as well as the hospital-staff.

Here’s a quick tidbit about the Mario Kart 8 DLC. Nintendo has confirmed that you will, in fact, be able to play the new courses online. There’s one significant exception though: it won’t be available as an option if anyone in the room hasn’t purchased the DLC.
