New Tap Amiibo: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits Trailer

Nintendo of Japan released today a new trailer from the Free-to-Download game.

The trailer shows how the functionality of tapping multiple amiibo works in the game, and to no one’s surprise, it takes up quite the amiibo hoard!

The video was uploaded to youtube by Nintendo of Japan’s official account. The way the game works is that you insert an amiibo on your gamepad and the game unlocks a demo of a classic from the NES or SNES era, the trailer also shows that even if you have two amiibo of the same character they’ll unlock different content.
You can watch the trailer bellow:

Xenoblade Chronicles X Story Trailer Released

Survival of the fittest

Previously, all we knew about the story was that Earth had been destroyed and that the survivors were settling on a new planet, but now we have a better idea on what made humans leave the Earth, or should we say who?

We couldn’t gather the name of the invaders in question by watching the trailer, but we do know that they’ve followed humans to this new planet, and that they want to erase humanity from existence by destroying this new blossoming civilization.
The trailer also leads us to believe that the playable character won’t be the main character in the story, at least not the point where the trailer takes place. If you’re not fluent in Japanese, youtube user iYakku has released a version of the video with english subtitles.
You can watch the original Japanese trailer bellow:

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China Gets a Launch Trailer

The game comes out April 21st.

Back on September last year, Ubisoft announced that they’d be releasing the first in a series of Download-Only, Sidescroller titles for the franchise. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China follows the story of Assassin Shao Jun, in 16th Century China.

We prevously met her in Assassin’s Creed: Embers, an animated movie that served as a closure to Ezio Auditore, the main character of the Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations.
The gameplay doesn’t seem like something we haven’t seen before, it’s a 2.5D sidescroller that reminds us of the popular Metroidvania formula; popular examples of this are Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid, and the more recent Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate.
The title will be download-only, and will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The next titles in this series include Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Russia, already announced for the same platforms as ACC: China.

What do you think of this new “Chronicles” series in the Assassin’s Creed franchise? Let us know in the comments.
