Metroid: Samus Returns devs on how MercurySteam came on board, art style, possibility of 2D Metroid on Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 17 Comments
This information comes from Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto and MercurySteam’s Jose Luis Márquez…
On whether Nintendo reached out to MercurySteam or the other way around…
There was a very fateful meeting, so we’ll tell you that to start off with.
I just wanted to start out by saying I’ve been wanting to make a 2D Metroid game with today’s technology for quite a long time. It wasn’t only my personal desire, but also because I know there are a lot of people out there in the world who have been clamoring for a 2D Metroid game.
For myself, I’ve been wanting to revisit that fundamental, basic, core essence of Metroid, that 2D gameplay, and I was considering ways to go about taking on that challenge. That was more than two years ago.
Rocket League development on Switch started three months ago, Nintendo reached out to Psyonix
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
This information comes from Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham…
– Even if Rocket League isn’t the most graphically challenging game, it’s very dependent on the physics, which forced Psyonix to trade off marginally better resolution if it meant getting the game to run properly on the Switch version
– Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s success Switch was a huge motivator for the Psyonix team to get it right on the Switch
“In terms of pure greenlighting for when this project started, three months ago. If you wanna talk about when we first started investigating, messing with dev kits, late last year was about when we first started looking at it.”
– Nintendo first contacted Psyonix about a potential Switch outing before the console was even officially announced
– 8-player local multiplayer
– two-player split screen on a single Switch with each player using a single Joy-Con (party style)
– Works with the Switch Pro Controller
