Update (9/27): Bumped to the top. You can save about $10 on the Xenoblade guide and $7 on the Star Fox Zero guide.

Original (9/14): Yesterday we learned that The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes would be receiving a guide from Prima, including a collector’s edition release. It’s since been confirmed that Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X are getting the same treatment.

Amazon is listing the Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X guides – both of which are collector’s edition – for $34.99 a piece. They’ll also come with hardcovers and a screen cleaner.

Xenoblade Chronicles X features something known as “Skells”. These mechs allow players to take to the sky and fly across the vast world. You won’t have access to Skells right away, however. They are made available later in the game after players receiving a license.

This month’s issue of Game Informer has a few comments from Monolith Soft executive director Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi told the magazine why Skells aren’t handed out at the start, explaining:

“The main reason we didn’t want players to have the Skell from the beginning of the game is that we wanted them to have the opportunity to fully explore the world on foot first. The world starts to feel quiet a bit different once you have the Skell, especially once you experience different layers of the world vertically.”

Xenoblade Chronicles X still has a few months to go before it reaches the west. The overseas release is scheduled for December 4.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has received its second update in Japan. Given the small increment in the version change (1.0.2), it should come as no surprise that there isn’t a whole lot to the patch.

The new update simply addresses a single glitch within the game. Monolith Soft has fixed things so that players won’t encounter issues obtaining a single Union Point at a time during offline play. That’s all there is to it!
