On social media today, WayForward shared new insight into the making of River City Girls. The developer showed off a scrapped boss for the game who goes by the name Noroi, which means curse in Japanese.
According to WayForward: “This kindhearted schoolboy would have been possessed by a malicious yokai that made him violent towards our heroines, but he never made it past the concept stage.” You can see a piece of concept art above.
River City Girls originally launched for Switch in September 2019.

Switch firmware version 12.0.0 seems to include code related to dock update
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
If you’re a Switch owner looking for new features and functionality, the console’s new 12.0.0 firmware may have come as a disappointment. The official notice mentioned that Nintendo merely fixed an issue with save data backups. However, after coming through the contents of the update, dataminers have come across an interesting discovery.
As relayed by Twitter user OatmealDome, version 12.0.0 apparently allows for the dock’s internal firmware to be updated. It’s a curious addition as there’s not much to the device – it only has USB chips, a MyDP to HDMI converter, and flash memory to store its firmware. It doesn’t seem as though Nintendo has ever issued an update for the dock, and there may not be much of a purpose in doing so given its limited technology.
