Yoko Shimomura reflects on her work for Super Mario RPG
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yoko Shimomura played a key role in Super Mario RPG as back in the day, she was the game’s composer. Music is one of a few reasons why the title is beloved today.
Shimomura came back for the new remake and updated the tracks for the modern era. However, players can switch to the original music if they prefer.
In a previous feature on Daion, Shimomura shared a few words about her work. She mentions feeling pressure living up to the Super Mario name while also feeling “incredibly lucky”. We also get to hear about wanting the Switch version’s music to remain faithful to the original.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer discusses Switch’s latest “miracle” port
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Interviews, Switch | 0 comments
Even though Switch has been around for over seven years, “miracle” ports for the system are always a topic of conversation. Many games that may have been thought impossible for the console have made their way over, ranging from The Witcher 3 to Doom Eternal.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now the latest port to have arrived on Switch. Despite being a game that can be taxing on even more powerful consoles, Warhorse Studios – in partnership with Saber Interactive – managed to make a version for Nintendo’s platform that is overall pretty admirable. We recently spoke with lead programmer Anton Vasilev to talk about what the development process was actually like.
[Rapid Review] Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

System: Switch
Release date: March 14, 2024
Developer: Aspyr
Publisher: Aspyr
Back in the early to mid 2000s, Star Wars games were everywhere. Opening your bedroom window was enough to illicit an invading swarm of new software set in a galaxy far far away. Despite the influx of combat adventure games, kart racers (Super Bombad Racing, anyone?) and film adaptations, it was Pandemic Software’s Battlefront series that rose above the rest for nostalgic old sods like myself. The opportunity to freely explore movie-accurate locations and do lots of shooting in them was novel, and the original two games in the series were evidently made with a whole lot of love. While Pandemic themselves (and the Battlefront series) may be a distant memory for most, Aspyr has packaged those original two titles into a single collection for Switch known as the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection – and the resulting experience is a bit of a mixed bag.

You may not have noticed, but the Switch version of Laika: Aged Through Blood. This came as a bit of a surprise as there was no announcement from Headup prior to launch.
Originally, Laika: Aged Through Blood was actually set to launch in January. Headup explained that it was looking “to ensure the version we launch is in the best possible shape it could be in”. In the end it took about two months extra for the Switch launch.
