Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse recently went multiplatform as part of its re-release in March, but some might not know that it was originally published by Nintendo. The game originally came out for Wii in 2008 – though only in Japan.

Makoto Shibata, one of the original directors on Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, recently reflected on Nintendo’s involvement in an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. It turns out that the company reached out directly to Shibata. After creating a proposal, it was accepted.

Persona 5 Tactica art style

Persona 5 Tactica was recently revealed and it has its own chibi-esque art style that’s prompted some interesting fan discussion. Some of the game’s developers have now weighed in on the design.

In an interview published this week, Famitsu spoke with Persona team producer Kazuhisa Wada, director Naoya Maeda, and business producer Atsushi Nomura. They confirmed what we essentially knew in that Persona 5 Tactica isn’t a Persona Q sequel, but also discussed style differences between them. Oribe said “the 3D models are intentionally taller with the arms and legs being longer” and noted how “it may seem more like an American comic-like deformed style.”

Another special distribution is now live in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with players having an opportunity to claim a Gastrodon which ties in with the Korean Trainers Cup 2023. Wonseok Jung, who won last year’s event, used this particular build during his run.

The developers of Splatoon 3 have discussed the game’s DLC, including Side Order which will be released in the future.

Director Hisashi Nogami along with co-directors Shintaro Sato and Seita Inoue weighed in as part of a recent interview with Famitsu. According to Nogami, Side Order will feature “completely new and different” gameplay.
