Next Xenoblade Would Focus More on Story
Xenoblade Chronicles X just launched in the west today, but the game's director Tetsuya Takahashi is already talking about his plans for a possible third entry in the RPG series.
Speaking with Gamereactor, Takahashi touched upon another Xenoblade game when asked about the future of the franchise, saying the next entry would be more story-driven. "While Xenoblade Chronicles was a true story-driven JRPG, we took a rather different approach with Xenoblade Chronicles X. You could say it doesn't really feel like a typical JRPG: what really sets it apart from other JRPGs is that the game world — the planet Mira — is really vast.
Sony Trademarks More PS2 Games, Possibly for Emulation
Sony has filed more trademarks for classic PlayStation 2 games, hinting at further backwards compatible titles on PlayStation 4.
We've known this was coming for a while. Sony confirmed PS2 emulation back in November. We got our first look at the feature in action thanks to leaked footage of Dark Cloud on PS4.
This, however, is our strongest hint as to what titles will be available when the function launches. The trademarked games include Rogue Galaxy, Mark of Kri, War of the Monsters, and of course Level 5's city builder/dungeon crawler Dark Cloud.

Marvel’s ‘Apocalypse Wars’ Event Set to Rage in 2016
Villainous X-Men mainstay Apocalypse is set for a return to comics in 2016.
Marvel announced a new X-Men-centric event, titled Apocalypse Wars, today at the Brazilian Comic Con Experience. Details are slim, though an image of the announcement suggests that it will occur across Marvel's three main X-books: Uncanny X-Men, All-New X-Men, and Extraordinary X-Men.
A teenage, more heroically-inclined version of Apocalypse named Genesis currently stars in All-New X-Men. Last year's Axis event was last time we saw the classic Apocalypse, where Genesis briefly transformed into his evil self before reverting back. The Age of Apocalypse version of the character also played a small part in this year's Secret Wars event.

The identities of the woman were not disclosed, but ComingSoon.net notes Alberghetti represents talent including Suffragette director Sarah Gavron and Maleficent screenwriter Linda Woolverton.

Steiff Creates Really Expensive Pikachu Plush
German toy company Steiff has created a high-quality—and very expensive—Pikachu plush. This adorable little guy will sell for 45,000 yen, which is about $367 USD. Certainly a bit more expensive than Build-a-Bear Workshop's exclusive plush.
Steiff's Pikachu is made from only the most luxurious of products. His signature yellow fur is made from natural mohair, says a source on Good Smile Company's English blog.
Steiff's Pikachu goes on preorder today, with only a thousand units to be sold in Japan. You can preorder it on the Good Smile Company online store and on Amazon Japan. Pikachu is set to ship in early February.
Spider-Man Confirmed for Captain America: Civil War
Tom Holland's Spider-Man will appear in Captain America: Civil War, according to Robert Downey Jr.
The Iron Man actor outed Holland's involvement in an interview with Entertainment Weekly while discussing how he and Don Cheadle are now the old guys on set. "We’re now like the old guard, and our storyline carries real weight just because of our history in the
. But we’re also looking around like, 'Who thought that Falcon and Black Panther and Ant-Man and now Spider-Man…?' I mean it’s like wow, this thing is just crazy."
