Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Yeah, splatoon has one now, I think we should have one for XBX, even tho it maybe will get updated 2-3 times a week.

I dunno, maybe it'll be better to wait and see if there's going to be substantial news and info? He could just be repeating and expanding on stuff that is already known, or taking about minor stuff. I don't really feel strongly either way, but it might be a better than having an ongoing thread here talking about Utah being inspired by Xenoblade.

let's wait and see if they will actually update 2/3 times a week, maybe also with screens, as the Splatoon twitter account?
Yeah I think if there's a handful of bite-sized updates of decent interest in a week or two, and we know it's going to be regular, having a thread for it would be useful. The Splatoon stuff shows that Nintendo is aware that social media can be useful in delivering updates which might not be worth designing into a webpage update or maintaining a blog for, and can probably reach more people. Too bad they only figured this out in 2014.

Would be great if they could keep updating. Hopefully a video or pics every now and then. Glad Nintendo is doing this. Bodes well for the future

This is all been happening pretty recently - it seems like there's been a directive in the past month or two to post regular updates via social media (and not just miiverse). I'm super happy - every time this thread gets bumped I get disappointed at the lack of news.
It would be good to escape the desperate comparisons.

Ah yea that would make more sense. I wonder how this will all work since you can't just forward time from the menu anymore and you have to go to those weather stations.
Streets is busy and can't translate everything all the time. There are enough JP speakers on here that could help out instead!
Maybe don't reflect your worst fears onto something you know barely anything about yet and wait until you do?

Did he say ONLINE?
He is teasing us.

Online was "officially" confirmed last week.
What happened?

Nothing. Takahashi said he'd start tweeting regularly with updates. That's all.
How is that nothing? New tidbits are great to hear. Especially on a regular basis. Feels like a damn dream that I'm now getting BOTH FFXV AND Xenoblade Chronicles X news on a regular basis!

Because we knew that before. Only thing new is the intended frequency of updates. Not very exciting in itself.
Well in the E3 demo, you could change the time of the day, so it seems this feature is making a return from Xenoblade.

So will we havea separate thread dedicated to these updates?
we actually discussed this this morning (European time):
"let's wait and see if they will actually update 2/3 times a week, maybe also with screens, as the Splatoon twitter account"

An amendment to duckrolls summary, specifically this part.
Yamagami didn't ask the team to try a sci-fi game, it was Takahashi that went to him and his team asking if they could create a game with Xenoblade as its base, but with a more sci-fi feel, and Yamagami gave the go ahead.

It's really good news actually. More info on these games is what we need.

I know Iwata said X was attempting to include seamless map transitions last year, but it's nice to have confirmation that they're still in.
ahh but James Cameron has been in the works since the early 90's and in his head even earlier

I'd agree with opening a thread for these twits once they start coming up.
We'll need someone to keep translating them though =P
Anyway, hopefully they'll post screenshots along with these little pieces of information.

Splatoon twitter has more followers. I think its great that people are interested in both games. I want both games to succeed.

Splatoon's was created first though, wasn't it?
Either way, I don't think it's weird that the majority of people don't care for little tidbits every now and then about a game.
I also don't think many Japanese players are super excited for X, considering Xenoblade's sales on the Wii.

The only way to remedy this is cross-promotion. Monado hairclips in Splatoon will grant X another few million sales easily.
Where your Zelda U twitter account for daily update Nintendo?
Apparently it's getting delayed until early 2016.
See that tweet in your feed?
You'll be able to read it. Yeah, impressive right?

As much as Xenoblade Chronicles did a really good job at capturing some of Takahashi's big ideas because of how screwed over Gears and Saga were, it really is nice to see some of the cool stuff from Xenogears like the mechs and sci-fi setting come back.
Amount of followers.
Well apparently Xenoblade was Takahashi's SMALL idea.
Big ideas?
Sure, we'd knew he'd be on Twitter. As to how regularly he'll be posting? We certainly did not!

Xenoblade got a really good reception though. I heard people who played it really liked it.

Xenoblade's account had more followers until recently; but Splatoon has been posting more frequently and is posting mostly pics, which has given them the advantage.
TheMoon

Well isn't that exactly what I said though?
Kinda, I guess. The way you posted still made it seems as if even that is nothing, when it still counts for something.
It not getting delay. It will release on Nov. 20, 2015

I think it's neat that Takahashi himself is leaving messages directly. I've known before about other Nintendo producers/directors like Aonuma, but for some reason I got the impression that Takahashi was some reclusive mastermind or something after reading the Iwata Asks for Xenoblade
So to me it feels kind of momentus to see that he's the one tweeting these first few tweets for the account, hahathreelights

Changing a little the subject, is there any one massive video with every trailer and video for Xenoblade X? Or do I have to look for them one by one?
I wanted to either download or bookmark it to watch all the stuff every now and then.
