KoopaTV Live Reacts to Xenoblade Chronicles X Video Showcase April 24 2015

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Transsexual protagonists and Earth Day mechas.

How do you think KoopaTV's old-school gaming staff will respond to the very new-school, modern Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U? Well, Nintendo and its Nintendo Treehouse did a special video showcase and presentation for the game, showing off all sorts of aspects including beautiful environments, exploration, skipped cutscenes, and... flying mechas called Skells!

Bill Trinen Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Treehouse
Bill Trinen welcoming us with an unwelcome face.
 
I'm Nintendork 13 13 in this AIM log, Rawk is himself, and Vortexica is breezinabout. We got quite a collection of observations entailed within, so stick with us and watch along!

 

We got screenshots taken live as well interspersed throughout the log, so get past the page-break and enjoy.

The full Treehouse Presentation can be watched on YouTube here

    no estimated time.
    For length.

 RawkHawk2010 1:54 pm
    lol

 Nintendork 13 13 1:55 pm
    It's not Live, so...

 Nintendork 13 13 1:58 pm
    7,000 or so dudes on Twitch.

 RawkHawk2010 1:58 pm
    What did the tumblr who retumbled my article say
    anything?

 Nintendork 13 13 1:58 pm
    (You just want your article advert'd on the log)
    http://janimations.tumblr.com/post/117211138489/koopatv-conker-games-are-a-very-rare-thing-so
    Nothing.
    But look how nice their tumblr looks compared to ours.
    http://koopatv.tumblr.com/
    (Might as well advert our own tumblr on the log)

 RawkHawk2010 2:00 pm
    Direct

 Nintendork 13 13 2:00 pm
    MAY CONTAIN CONTENT INAPPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:00 pm
    Here we go.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:00 pm
    woah
    You literally got here right at 2 PM.

 RawkHawk2010 2:00 pm
    This reminds me of the Mario Kart 8 "Direct"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:01 pm
    Or W101.
    I wonder if they'll say the release date 10 times.
    We don't even know when this comes out.
    Who let Trinen become the human race's messenger?

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:01 pm
    On behalf of the human race!

 RawkHawk2010 2:01 pm
    This game got bad reviews btw.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:01 pm
    (This would be pretty relevant to that shitty Earth Day article)
    Xenoblade Chronicles X?

 RawkHawk2010 2:01 pm
    35/40 from famitsu
    yeah

 Nintendork 13 13 2:02 pm
    That's... great.

 RawkHawk2010 2:02 pm
    no

 Nintendork 13 13 2:02 pm
    ...Yes it is.

 RawkHawk2010 2:02 pm
    That's an 80-something.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:02 pm
    "New Los Angeles" (Where Ace Attorney takes place?)
    These characters look like Sims
    Rawk, a 35/40 from Famitsu is really good.

 RawkHawk2010 2:03 pm
    "Nothing you can see is out of reach"
    *camera suddenly and awkwardly stops zooming*

 Nintendork 13 13 2:04 pm
    Cauldros
    hmmm I wonder if it's from "cauldron"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:05 pm
    Luckily, the Wii U Gamepad has a map.
    Note: The footage is in Japanese.
    So they haven't finished translating.
    Or they have but not in time for filming.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:06 pm
    What the heck is THAT.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:06 pm
    oooh dat Aliens music

 RawkHawk2010 2:06 pm
    xenoblade is a pretty cool guy, eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything

 Nintendork 13 13 2:06 pm
    Manon look like they're outta Star Wars.
    ...so does everyone else.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:07 pm
    "Hey! Listen!"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:07 pm
    "Creatures to conquer" *shows footage with no life on the screen besides the character*

 RawkHawk2010 2:07 pm
    The nav-ball reminds me of that thing from Phantom Hourglass.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:07 pm
    FYI I'm a second or five behind you.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:07 pm
    POWER ARMOUR

 Nintendork 13 13 2:07 pm
    Hopper Cam = Beetle?
    Flying mechas
    Hidden caves filled with secrets
    (Unlike Skyward Sword of hidden caves filled with nothing)
    We're at Treehouse already?

 RawkHawk2010 2:09 pm
    lol

 Nintendork 13 13 2:09 pm
    That was the whole video showcase?

 RawkHawk2010 2:09 pm
    What a short game!

 Nintendork 13 13 2:09 pm
    Told you guys it wasn't a real Direct.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:09 pm
    "Perfect shot" nighttime scene
    (Well I took a screenshot of it)
    Primordia or Premordia?

Xenoblade Chronicles X Primordia Wii U Nintendo Treehouse continent
Primordia. This is how you spell it.

 RawkHawk2010 2:10 pm
    primordia
    i would think

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:10 pm
    Ditto.
    As in primordial.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:10 pm
    "Oh, I found an open area!"
    "Nice!"
    (Seems typical for open world!)
    "Xenoblade Chronicles game for the Wii U or for the 3DS right now"

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:11 pm
    Looks like a Peahat.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:11 pm
    Reveal?
    [it's for the Wii]

 RawkHawk2010 2:11 pm
    This combat looks as engaging as Uprising's training room.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:11 pm
    lol

 Nintendork 13 13 2:11 pm
    I had fun in that training room.
    With infinite-use powers.
    So is anyone here interested in this game?
    Just curious.

 RawkHawk2010 2:12 pm
    ...nope.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:12 pm
    Like, of us.
    ...I'm not.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:12 pm
    Hmm, I must be honest, not really.
    Is this the third Xenoblade game then?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:12 pm
    Second.

 RawkHawk2010 2:12 pm
    It's too fucking big.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:12 pm
    Xenoblade Chronicles is one
    And this is the "sequel"
    Xenoblade Chronicles on 3DS is just a port of the Wii game.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:13 pm
    That's what I thought.

 RawkHawk2010 2:13 pm
    Remember how one of my main complaints with Banjo-Tooie was the game making you spend hours and cross huge amounts of terrain for something that wasn't fucking worth it?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:13 pm
    They're touting how the armour is cool to put on.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:13 pm
    "This is still in Japanese"

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:13 pm
    I don't normally jump into a series part way in. I like to play the first game(s) first.
    So if I do end up liking what I see here

 Nintendork 13 13 2:13 pm
    Well Xenoblade Chronicles for NEW 3DS only. :-P

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:14 pm
    It'll motivate me to get the N3DS version first, if anything.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:14 pm
    Wot's the X Offline thing in the upper left corner?
    If you have your online on can you interact with other players?
    "This isn't really a direct sequel"
    "You don't need prior knowledge to the series."

 RawkHawk2010 2:15 pm
    I thought that were saying "This isn't really a direct"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:15 pm
    Well, that's directed right to Vortex.

 RawkHawk2010 2:15 pm
    they*

 Nintendork 13 13 2:15 pm
    (It's NOT really a Direct, anyway.)
    I got a screenshot of her judgy look.
    Oh hey synchronised enemy movement.

"I am judging you."

 RawkHawk2010 2:16 pm
    Oh yeah you can't customize the online Splatoon multiplayer with friends.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:16 pm
    Are all the party members girls?

 RawkHawk2010 2:16 pm
    And I think one's a dude.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:16 pm
    ...I think so.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:16 pm
    Uh, which one?

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:16 pm
    Oh, well, maybe not.

 RawkHawk2010 2:16 pm
    Lindsey.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:16 pm
    Lindsey is a girl
    look at her

 RawkHawk2010 2:16 pm
    Oh.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:16 pm
    >_>

 RawkHawk2010 2:16 pm
    Then yeah.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:16 pm
    This isn't Lindsey Graham.

 RawkHawk2010 2:17 pm
    Dude.
    She's running like...

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:17 pm
    I don't blame you for not being able to tell, Rawk.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:17 pm
    video buffering

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:17 pm
    lol, I'm ahead then!

 Nintendork 13 13 2:17 pm
    She's running like a woman.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:17 pm
    "Basic level one treasure box"
    "tap A and open it up"
    ...well that was fun button-mashing??

 RawkHawk2010 2:17 pm
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddqHDVTzmxo
    She's running from like 1:30 of that ^

 Nintendork 13 13 2:18 pm
    clicking that makes this buffer
    gonna refresh
    I really don't like these character models
    they're pretty much action Sims

 RawkHawk2010 2:18 pm
    I don't either.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:18 pm
    Okay suddenly in some daytime scene

 RawkHawk2010 2:18 pm
    They're all designed with character customization in mind.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:18 pm
    Yeah.

 RawkHawk2010 2:19 pm
    Making them all look awful.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:19 pm
    Since every aspect of them seems customisable
    yeah.
    IIRC you can change characters' genders mid-game.

 RawkHawk2010 2:19 pm
    ...
    Really?

 RawkHawk2010 2:19 pm
    We're enterining The Dark Age of Protagonists.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:19 pm
    One of the reviewers said that

 RawkHawk2010 2:20 pm
    Notice how there's no "face" of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:20 pm
    Yeah.
    There was Shulk before.
    Now there's some transsexual ugly shit.

 RawkHawk2010 2:20 pm
    Same with Fire Emblem If, to a lesser extent.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:20 pm
    At least  every girl you pick will have two left feet.
    That's something.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:20 pm
    I hope the thing that shows the amount of damage you're doing is customisable in its frequency. Not a fan of how fast it is here.
  

 Nintendork 13 13 2:21 pm
    It wasn't customisable in, say, Kid Icarus Uprising.

 RawkHawk2010 2:21 pm
    "Taunting him as he falls in battle! That's harsh!"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:21 pm
    That's the whole concept of Smash Bros.!

 RawkHawk2010 2:21 pm
    That's the whole point of taunting, you fucking retard!

 RawkHawk2010 2:21 pm
    Also, someone screamed "YEEEAH!" like the Toad Tea Partier.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:21 pm
    lol
    So how is the voice-acting gonna work
    if you can change your character's gender mid-game?

 RawkHawk2010 2:22 pm
    (From the Herman Cain Experience, for those who are New to the Show.)
    Oh.
    I guess the voice changes too?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:22 pm
    ( http://koopatv.blogspot.com/2014/06/herman-cains-burning-answer.html )
    Well the voice doesn't change in real life.

 RawkHawk2010 2:23 pm
    These drones look Starmen.
    But lither.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:23 pm
    Their limbs are as thin as Ridley.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:24 pm
    So can you change your character's gender again after you change it to begin with?

 RawkHawk2010 2:24 pm
    I would assume.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:24 pm
    That doesn't sound safe or healthy.

 RawkHawk2010 2:25 pm
    Changing it to begin with does/
    ?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:25 pm
    Not really
    but at least it's permanent afterwards.

 RawkHawk2010 2:25 pm
    Saints Row The Third has a Plastic Surgeon.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:25 pm
    But then you suddenly keep growing and regrowing and losing special body parts?
    Is the cutscene skipping in-game?
    Or a dev thing?

 RawkHawk2010 2:25 pm
    That's how it explains perpetually mutating your protagonist in-universe.
    Probably in-game.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:26 pm
    I guess we gotta research how it's done in this game.

 RawkHawk2010 2:26 pm
    Today's gamers hate cutscenes.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:26 pm
    (So no one would wanna watch Xenoblade Chronicles X the movie?)
    "That was way too smooth."
    Treehouse dudes giving themselves props.
    So yeah all these are cleaaarrrlly girls.
    Talking food
    Totts?
    Is this Riki's species?
    The Herapons?

 RawkHawk2010 2:27 pm
    Hell if I know.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:27 pm
    Go ahead and skip the endearing cutscene

 RawkHawk2010 2:27 pm
    I don't play this shit.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:27 pm
    "Not directly in your party"
    oh
    He just skipped like four cutscenes in a row.

 RawkHawk2010 2:28 pm
    No fall damage?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:28 pm
    Yeah.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:28 pm
    No fall damage is confirmed by the reviewers.

 RawkHawk2010 2:28 pm
    That's stupid.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:28 pm
    The gravity on this planet seems very low.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:29 pm
    So they'd be good in Brawl.
    This is like a 3D version
    of that EarthBound place

 RawkHawk2010 2:29 pm
    The girl Treehouser sounds like she's aroused by this game.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:29 pm
    with the dinosaurs underground.
    Got screenshot of them swimming
    "I could just run around and look at monsters all day~~~~"


Xenoblade Chronicles X swimming Nintendo Treehouse Wii U monsters
The swimming looks more awkward in motion.


 RawkHawk2010 2:30 pm
    Yeah, lol.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:30 pm
    Okay, there is a pissed off dude as the protagonist.
    He looks like he's from Mass Effect.

 RawkHawk2010 2:31 pm
    http://i.imgur.com/kKZjmHM.jpg

 Nintendork 13 13 2:31 pm
    "There's so many [moon]s!"
    Upon recruiting the NPC party member
    he literally just teleported inside your protagonist
    and then walked out of your protagonist's body.
    wtf

 RawkHawk2010 2:32 pm
    Xenoblade Shuffle.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:32 pm
    (Originally was standing just three feet away)

 RawkHawk2010 2:33 pm
    I think I'll play some Pokemon Shuffle right now!

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:33 pm
    So these probes are kinda like Far Cry radio towers, revealing some info about surrounding areas it seems.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:33 pm
    Complete Rate % showing how much of the world you've explored.
    Treehouse only got 17.66%
    Or the probes are like a teleportation-granting Fishmen from Wind Waker.
    Treehouse can't tell difference between rifle and a sword.

 RawkHawk2010 2:34 pm
    17.66% out of 66%, so does that mean 34% isn't even yet discoverable?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:34 pm
    I guess.
    It's apparently not truly open world.
    You do need to advance the plot some bit.

 RawkHawk2010 2:35 pm
    This combat looks traaaaaaaaaaash.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:35 pm
    That's open-world combat for you.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:35 pm
    Not much of a consequence to dying? Not too sure about that...

 Nintendork 13 13 2:36 pm
    Dude has been playing for 8 and a half hours
    and is 17.66% discovered

 RawkHawk2010 2:36 pm
    This looks like it's gonna be like Sticker Star, where you're encouraged to just...avoid all the enemies.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:36 pm
    Unless that's actual real-time
    and it's 8:38 AM when this was recorded
    Strange natural-looking land coral thing is a treasure box.
    At least the environment looks purty.

 RawkHawk2010 2:37 pm
    Eh Star Fox Adventures looked better.

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:37 pm
    Have to admit, I like the luminescence theme behind this Noctilum area.

 RawkHawk2010 2:37 pm
    lol at this swimming.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:38 pm
    "The upside of this particular war is that the Earth is destroyed"
    It was Earth Day two days ago!

 RawkHawk2010 2:38 pm
    "New Los Angeles" sounds like a horrifying place.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:38 pm
    Yeah.
    This is a cave
    Sorta like Pikmin 3's caves
    with the natural light sources
    Or they're unnatural diamond collectibles
    dunno
    "ooh daytime"

 Nintendork 13 13 2:39 pm
    "discovery of superb view"

 RawkHawk2010 2:40 pm
    Yeah, if I bought this game I wouldn't do anything but just run around and...look at stuff.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:40 pm
    dat jump animation

 RawkHawk2010 2:40 pm
    I'd never actually progress.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:40 pm
    "Collectapedia"
    Can't guarantee the term is final.
    So this game has a Piklopedia
    but Pikmin 3 didn't.
    >_>

 RawkHawk2010 2:41 pm
    Xerneas,

 Nintendork 13 13 2:41 pm
    Is he running on water
    Is that supposed to be a turtle?
    "This is a really fun class!"

Xenoblade Chronicles X turtle shelled monster Nintendo Wii U Treehouse rifle blade samurai
It's sort of a turtle. We feel for it.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:43 pm
    They're gushing a backpack design.

 RawkHawk2010 2:44 pm
    don't these people have a gundam they could be flying around in
    that'd be more entertaining

 Nintendork 13 13 2:44 pm
    I guess not yet.

 RawkHawk2010 2:44 pm
    http://i.imgur.com/ehmwdsk.png

 Nintendork 13 13 2:44 pm
    Note that in-game this file has been constantly running for like 8 hours

 RawkHawk2010 2:44 pm
    Don't we know that guy?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:45 pm
    Yeah.
    That's the dude who got 200 Rosalina amiibo
    apparently.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:45 pm
    Wot exactly is the spoiler thing
    it's all in Japanese
    They're gushing about yes/no decisions in cutscenes.
    "I'm really looking forward to seeing the cosplay for this game."

 RawkHawk2010 2:46 pm
    lololololol
    Cosplay as what?!
    The anthropomorphic yam?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:47 pm
    The little thing with the backpack.
    Cosplay as the customisable transsexual character.

 RawkHawk2010 2:47 pm
    This guy needs to move the mic away from his face a bit.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:48 pm
    "You're not even cosplaying." "Yes I am, I'm cosplaying a customisable character!" [not from the stream but a hypothetical conversation at a convention]
    Dead dinosaur just fell on top of protagonist.
    Switching to "final save data"
    This is the "fun part"
    (So they know everything up to now wasn't fun?)

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:50 pm
    Here's the giant mechs.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:50 pm
    Now we're getting the flying mecha.

 RawkHawk2010 2:50 pm
    Are these customizable too?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:50 pm
    "Little bit  later in the game I earned my SKELL [giant mecha] license."

 RawkHawk2010 2:50 pm
    Xenoblade Chronicles X: Nuts & Bolts?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:51 pm
    New Los Angeles still has burdensome licensing processes just like old Los Angeles.
    Big-government Californians never change.

 RawkHawk2010 2:51 pm
    lol why are the human characters still following it?
    Will they actually be able to keep up when it starts flying?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:51 pm
    So wot happens when the
    yeah
    Cling onto its legs for dear life?

 RawkHawk2010 2:52 pm
    Maybe they'll constantly respawn in the air every few seconds

 Nintendork 13 13 2:52 pm
    lol

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:52 pm
    "Robots in disguise!"
   

 RawkHawk2010 2:52 pm
    LOL
    I think they really do repetedly respawn.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Skell Nintendo Treehouse Wii U vehicle travel
Seriously, the humans don't even care about physics with the Skell.

 RawkHawk2010 2:53 pm
    ...

 Nintendork 13 13 2:53 pm
    ...

 RawkHawk2010 2:53 pm
    Who the fuck was that laughing?
    A Treehouser or someone in-game?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:53 pm
    lol
    In-game

 breezinabout@msn.com 2:53 pm
    The quest giver?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:53 pm
    I think
    The quest-giver just turned transparent
    disappeared
    and then just reappeared
    what the hell

    He reminded me of a Sonic 06 NPC.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:54 pm
    lol
    Where are the humans now

 RawkHawk2010 2:54 pm
    They're back!

 Nintendork 13 13 2:54 pm
    The mecha is just flying around over the water
    THEY JUST RESPAWNED BEHIND IT
    AHAHAH

 RawkHawk2010 2:54 pm
    Yeah.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:54 pm
    Why can't they just ride inside?

 RawkHawk2010 2:54 pm
    Jesus Christ, this is retarded.
    So they can be ready to fight.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:55 pm
    uh
   
    Those little shits vs. other mechas?

 RawkHawk2010 2:55 pm
    Apparently.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:55 pm
    Why don't they also get mecha licenses?

 RawkHawk2010 2:55 pm
    So there could be three separate mechas following your mecha instead?

 Nintendork 13 13 2:56 pm
    Apparently you can kidnap enemy mechas.
    Yeah.

 RawkHawk2010 2:56 pm
    Yeah, that'd be funny.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:56 pm
    They acknowledged that party members are still fighting
    and telling your mecha what to do.
    Can your protagonist even hear the party members from up there?
    Party members get 20% up defense while you're in the mecha
    to help them not feel bad.

We dunno wot's happening, but it's apparently good.

 Nintendork 13 13 2:58 pm
    Apparently changing the game's camera perspective makes you invincible.

    This gameplay is gorgeous #Xenoblade

 Nintendork 13 13 2:59 pm
    "I al-...
    yeah was about to quote that

 RawkHawk2010 3:00 pm
    This woman is obsessed with monsters.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:00 pm
    She must like Monster Hunter.

 RawkHawk2010 3:00 pm
    And Monster Rancher.
    (just kidding no one liked that)

 Nintendork 13 13 3:00 pm
    Apparently there is in-game insurance.
    (I thought they were joking the first time they mentioned the Treehouser has insurance)

 breezinabout@msn.com 3:01 pm
    So your mech can actually be written-off completely.
    That's quite amusing.
    It really is like getting your first car!

 Nintendork 13 13 3:02 pm
    Jump-canceled cruising.
    Jump on top a waterfall.

If you wanted to know what being on top of a waterfall was like...

 Nintendork 13 13 3:02 pm
    fell off

 RawkHawk2010 3:02 pm
    And the humans are still alive and well.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:03 pm
    lol
    It's the Sonic 2006 NPC
    Apparently they satisfied them.

    Nintendo of America ‏@NintendoAmerica  3m3 minutes ago
    Grab some popcorn and the nearest giant mech. Watch the video showcase all about #Xenoblade Chronicles X here: http://Ninten.do/6011fQlH
    "Doll Garage"
    So are they called "Skells" or "Dolls"?

 Nintendork 13 13 3:04 pm
    Apparently these are called Dolls in Japan
    and Skells in America.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:04 pm
    Bubba the Skell/Doll/mech.
    So yes, you can fully customise it.
    So it is mecha Nuts & Bolts.
    Alternatively, it's a better Project Giant Robot.
    (Poor Miyamoto.
   
    ...Not really.)

    "Double Railgun"
    Was Dimetrius trying to make a Double Rainbow reference?

 Nintendork 13 13 3:06 pm
    maybe

 Nintendork 13 13 3:07 pm
    Customisable colouring.
    Got dat Hue, Saturation, and Brightness.
    Pressed Undo
    because they don't know Japanese

 RawkHawk2010 3:10 pm
    *yawn*

 Nintendork 13 13 3:10 pm
    "Who earns the Skell~~?"
    Apparently "Avalanche" is a profession.
    "I don't recall what it actually does."

 RawkHawk2010 3:11 pm
    Sounds like 99% of the game.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:12 pm
    In-game, protagonist was adjusting his mecha all night

 Nintendork 13 13 3:12 pm
    Did an all-nighter colouring it.
    "It's a robot pinata!"
    Saving shops as a surprise.

 RawkHawk2010 3:14 pm
    Well.

 RawkHawk2010 3:14 pm
    Uh...

 Nintendork 13 13 3:14 pm
    Done.
    I told you it wasn't a Direct.

 breezinabout@msn.com 3:15 pm
    The green/blue colour choice for the mech was very appropriate for Earth Day I feel.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:16 pm
    Yeah.
    ...
    Sorry, that didn't enter my mind at all.
    >_>

 RawkHawk2010 3:16 pm
    I don't want this game.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:16 pm
    I didn't want it before the showcase.
    Still don't.

 RawkHawk2010 3:16 pm
    I feel like I'd fall asleep while playing it.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:17 pm
    ...I'm still going to use it as a reason for why other people should buy a Wii U, though.
    (Well I never used it as a reason to begin with but maybe I should.)
    "I'm not into this sorta thing but you might be!"

 RawkHawk2010 3:17 pm
    Then they'll type "Xenoblade" into KoopaTV's search bar and find this.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:17 pm
    Yeah.
    I would like to note that...
    ...For the last two of these presentations...
    (Xenoblade Chronicles X and Code Name S.T.E.A.M..)
    they saved mecha stuff as the big surprise.
    For both of them.
    (And for both games we were rather... cold.)

 RawkHawk2010 3:19 pm
    People are freaking out about no U.S. release date.
    They think it'll be released in 2016.

 Nintendork 13 13 3:19 pm
    Well I didn't expect one as soon as they showed it was a Japanese build of the game.
    Well
    JC Rodrigo from Treehouse said it's coming out 2015.
    JC ‏@JCDotface 4m4 minutes ago Xenoblade Chronicles X "later this year" is for real. I can't wait. You think it looks good? Wait until you play it. It's LEGIT.
    He said it's legit.
    Better believe him.
    It's coming out in 2015 across America!
    (It just won't be in my home.)

 RawkHawk2010 3:21 pm

Treehouse saying bye on our behalf. We don't have that kind of diversity on our own staff.



What is that other news? You'll have to stay tuned to KoopaTV next week to find out! Remember, a new article every weekday! Have a nice weekend!


KoopaTV was also negative on the Code Name S.T.E.A.M. presentation with Wil Wheaton.
Ludwig doesn't like the open-world or the character creation in this game.
