“Karaoke JOYSOUND for Nintendo Switch”, as the name implies, is a karaoke game for Nintendo’s latest system. Currently, it’s only available on the Japanese eShop. The game is free to download, but to actually sing the songs you need to buy tickets that will let you access them for a given period of time.
The game features a video variety of songs – and it just added a few more that might be of interest to Nintendo fans. Specifically, six songs from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are now available: “Drifting Soul” and “One Last You”, sung by Jen Bird, and four songs by AnĂșna, Ireland’s national choir: “Our Eternal Land”, “Shadow of the Lowlands”, “We Are the Chosen Ones” and “Ever Come to an End”.

Last week, Torna – The Golden Country was announced as the big story expansion for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Monolith Soft executive director Tetsuya Takahashi has since shared more on the new content and how it came to be.
Takahashi reveals that Torna – The Golden Country was included with the team’s original prototype for the main game – or “one of the potential story candidates”. However, it was determined that the Torna content “would divert a major portion of the budget and development time we had allotted for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.” The concept was abandoned, but Takahashi still had it on his PC, and it was brought back in the form of the expansion / DLC.
