Xenoblade Chronicles X is hitting the Wii U in Japan this April, and to build up a little more hype Nintendo is running a Japanese video broadcast on Friday.
The video will focus on the game's battle system, which is shaping up to be even more inventive as the one seen in the Wii original - and its recent New Nintendo 3DS port.
We'll be live-blogging the broadcast on this very site, so be sure to tune in - it's happening at 10pm local time (Japan) which is 5am Pacific / 8am Eastern / 1pm UK / 2pm CET.

I'll look forward to a translated version then
I'll be watching it live on Friday morning. It's a good thing I usually wake up around 7:00.
BETTER BRUSH UP ON MY JAPANEESUH!
I'm really feeling it
It would be nice if Nintendo gave a crap about their fans outside of Japan.
Here we go again, ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!
The struggle of not knowing how to speak Japanese.
@RainbowGazelle Well we are getting the game localized. That's all we really need anyway. The Livestream is just an early introduction to the game of sorts. But it's not like we're actually being left out of the loop.
@RainbowGazelle All in due time.
Hmm... I'm guessing that there will be no Nintendo Direct this week for North America then.
I still don't understand why the strong marketing push Japan is having with this game and nothing much in the west. Still no proper PR in the states and Europe. Sure, Japan is getting it earlier but still. The last stream isn't even officially translated yet. The fan translation was pretty good though. I'm really hoping they'll push a strong marketing campaign here before the NA/EU launch, especially these streams. This game is even launching earlier then FF15 but that has more PR and media articles.
@Captain_Gonru I just think it's less likely now that there's something already announced for Friday. North America could get a presentation this week, sure.
@Zyph Xenoblade is still a few months out for NA and Europe. We'll get it in August or September most likely. E3 comes first, and that right there should give the game a lot of coverage.
Hoping it'll be done in-character like the last one, and maybe introduce us to some of other characters, like Space Dunban.
What I find odd is how late this is in Japanese time. It will be 7am my time so I will catch it.
@RainbowGazelle
We complain about Mario Party too much.
This should be really interesting! I just hope that soon we will get a NA direct that details this game better, especially the features of online multiplayer! Also i hope to see more information surrounding Yoshi's Wholly World release date which will hopefully be sooner than later!
Battle info yes!
