XSEED Games is turning 15 years old this year. To celebrate, the company has been sharing some fun facts on social media.

One of these facts concerns the Wii RPG The Last Story. It was published by XSEED in North America, and was the only time the company’s logo changed on a boxart. Director Hironobu Sakaguchi actually gave the request since he felt the red logo clashed with the gray color on the front. XSEED, of course, was more than happy to oblige.

The Last Story originally released on Wii in Japan in January 2011. It wouldn’t reach North America until August 2012. While Nintendo published the game in Europe and Japan, XSEED only handled publishing duties in North America.

Nearly three years after FAST RMX launched with Switch, Shin’en is back with its next original project. Revealed during the Indie World Showcase in August, The Touryst releases on November 21.

Rather than racing we’ve seen with the FAST series or something like platforming akin to the Jett Rocket franchise, Shin’en is taking a different approach with its latest game. The Touryst is a true adventure experience with plenty of areas to explore, an original story, and more.

We recently spoke with Manfred Linzner from Shin’en to learn more about The Touryst and what fans can expect. Read our full interview below for more on the project’s origins, its gameplay and visual style, developing for Switch, and more.
