Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town

With some games that first launch in Japan, there can be a delay for when it finally reaches fans in North America and Europe. Story of Seasons has been one example of this, but thankfully the gap is decreasing dramatically. It took almost a year for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town to head west after its Japanese debut, but with Pioneers of Olive Town, the title was made available in the west just one month later.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town director Hikaru Nakano and producer Dai Takemura spoke about the need for worldwide simultaneous launches in an interview with Dengeki Online. We’ve included our full translation of their comments below.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

With Metroid Prime 4 in the works for Switch, many fans have hoped that Nintendo would bring the series’ first three games to the platform. It’s unclear whether or not that will ever happen, but a former developer at Retro Studios has weighed in by sharing his own thoughts.

Michael Wikan spent many years at Retro having played a big role in all three mainline Metroid Prime titles as well as Donkey Kong Country Returns. In fact, he was a senior designer on each one of those projects.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance was just announced for Switch yesterday with a planned release for today. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance has been pushed back by at least “a few days”. The team seems to be unsure why the delay has happened, as Nintendo didn’t provide an explanation. The build and store page were both approved.
