Majogami physical

Inti Creates has revealed a new physical release for Majogami on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

This is especially significant because of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. It’s one of the few third-party games that will have the entire data on the cartridge – no game-key card here.

Tales of Xillia Remastered additions improvements

Tales of Xillia Remastered isn’t too far away now, and if you’re wondering what’s new for this new release, a helpful list covers all of the new features and improvements.

It looks like the team put in quite a bit of work here. Highlights include availability of the Grade Shop during your first playthrough, autosaves, an enemy encounter switching function, and dash more.

The full rundown is as follows:

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Material Ultimania

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fans looking to explore the game further might be interested in the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Material Ultimania book.

The book comes in at just over 200 pages. It features “a comprehensive collection of production art and CG art assets, including character models and illustrations, locations and backgrounds, accessories, weapons, and enemies, all accompanied by staff commentary.” Also included are cutscene storyboards, enemy interaction development materials, and more.

In a previous interview, Nintendo confirmed that Donkey Kong Bananza was initially in development for Switch 1 before it was moved to Switch 2. In fact, we even got a screenshot showing how things looked on the older hardware. But now in another interview, we get to hear more about why Donkey Kong Bananza really wouldn’t have been possible on Nintendo Switch 1 at the end of the day – especially in its final state.

Donkey Kong Bananza generally runs at 60 frames per second on Nintendo Switch 2. On Switch 1, 30 FPS would have been the target – but it sounds like the team was having a tough time even reaching stable performance at that level. Even more interesting though, back when development was happening on Switch 1, Nintendo hadn’t made the lower layers yet and according to co-director Wataru Tanaka, “if we continued making the game like this all the way down it may not be possible.”

Below is our full translation of the Nintendo Dream interview excerpt with Tanaka, artist Daisuke Watanabe, and producer Kenta Motokura:

House of Golf 2

October 2024: Starlight Games is working on a new Nintendo Switch version of House of Golf 2, the developer announced today. The port launches before the end of 2024.

Here’s some additional information about what to expect:

Pokemon Legends: Z-A was already #1 last week thanks to pre-loads, but it’s now on an official winning streak. The game is likely to stay towards the top for a long time given the nature of the IP.
