Fire Emblem devs want to improve character growth rates, character classes in future entries
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
In a new interview with USGamer, Nintendo’s Kenta Nakanishi spoke about what the Fire Emblem team would like to improve on in the future.
The first element Nakanishi highlighted are character growth rates. About this feature, he said:
“One of the things we want to improve on in the future is the growth rate of the characters. We changed the growth rate by two times or three times from the original; but we’ve heard feedback that it wasn’t enough, so that’s something we will keep in mind for the future.”

Fire Emblem Echoes devs on going forward with the remake, considered adding newer elements from the series
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 24 Comments
In a new interview with Polygon, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia director Kenta Nakanishi spoke about the newly released remake.
Nakanishi told the site that Intelligent Systems wanted “to integrate things that we couldn’t do with Fire Emblem Fates on the 3DS platform.” That caused the team to look back on the past. Fire Emblem Gaiden was a game that resonated with Intelligent Systems and Nakanishi in particular since his father – who died when he was a child – had passed the game on to him.

LUNAXXX images, Chibi-Robo director involved
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
News about the upcoming Switch game LUNAXXX emerged from this week’s Famitsu a few days ago. Pygmy Studio has since sent out a few images and a small announcement about the project.
You may want to keep an eye on LUNAXXX, as Kenichi Nishi is involved. Nishi was the director of the first Chibi-Robo, not to mention a writer on Nintendo’s Japan-exclusive Wii title Captain Rainbow.
There’s still relatively little information out there about the action game LUNAXXX, though since it’s playable at BitSummit this weekend, hopefully we’ll have more to share soon.
