Wild Hearts S devs on lack of new content for Nintendo Switch 2, sequel possibility
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The developers behind Wild Hearts S have spoken more about the game, including the decision to shy away from introducing new content and wanting to make a sequel.
Japanese magazine Famitsu recently spoke with director Takuto Edagawa about the release. One of the topics brought up is how on Nintendo Switch 2, there’s now support for four players whereas the original version only supported three. Koei Tecmo was able to fulfill its original vision and also responded to requests for that additional player slot.
Edagawa said the following:

The developers behind Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster have spoken about why Square Enix revisited the game for Nintendo Switch 2.
You can actually chalk this one up to timing. Square Enix was thinking about ways to celebrate the series’ tenth anniversary, which could have happened with a new game or a remake. Square Enix ultimately settled on a remaster, and it just so happened that the development schedule overlapped with Nintendo Switch 2’s launch.
Bravely series producer Tomoya Asano and HD Remaster producer Naofumi Matsushita shared the following in a recent interview:
[Let’s Talk] July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase reactions
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier this week, and following the event, we’re interested in hearing about what you thought of the show.
This wasn’t a general Nintendo Direct, meaning the Big N itself wasn’t really present here. We did get to see Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but that was all. Third-parties did show up with their own announcements – Monster Hunter Stories 3, Octopath Traveler, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Persona 3 Reload, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, and Once Upon A Katamari were shown. You can catch up on everything that was featured here.
So what’d you think of the July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase? What were your highlights? Let us know in the comments.
