Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X dated for the UK

Nintendo has today dated its upcoming releases for the year.

Wii U pair Star Fox Zero and Mario Tennis: Ultra will both be released on Wii U in Europe on November 20th.

Then just before Christmas, Wii U RPG Xenoblade Chronicles X will arrive on December 4th.

A 2015 release has also been reasserted for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival.

There have also been some Amiibo release dates announced. Mega Yarn Yoshi will be released on November 27th, while a number more – including ROB, Mr Game & Watch and the Duck Hunt Dog – will be released on September 25th. Star Fox’s Falco will then arrive on November 20th.

Typically this is the sort of information we would expect to be announced via a Nintendo Direct video, but it seems that following the sad passing of former boss and Direct star Satoru Iwata the company isn’t yet ready to get back on that wagon. Only time will tell if it ever will.
