This week, Nintendo posted two more behind the scenes videos for the recording of Super Mario Odyssey’s music. We have videos for Steam Gardens and Fossil Falls below.
スーパーマリオブラザーズの「地上BGM」と同じスタッフが作曲した「スチームガーデン」。森の曲というと木琴など使うことも多そうですが…今作では'60年代風のアプローチでゲームを演出しています。演奏者の方にもノリノリで演奏していただきました！ pic.twitter.com/RwRBNW4vAe

滝の国「ダイナフォー」は帽子の国を抜けた後にたどり着く、初めての明るい世界。このBGMは大冒険が始まるワクワクする気持ちを全開に高められるように作っているんです。レコーディングも、全部で10日以上かけてがっつりと行いました！ pic.twitter.com/s8Fna0VX6F

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Last month, we heard that Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast had been pulled from the North American Switch eShop. Now Good Shephard Entertainment has clarified why.
As we’ve seen with a few titles in the past, the game’s removal can be attributed to a ratings update.Good Shephard Entertainment confirmed on Twitter:
Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast is temporarily unavailable on the Nintendo Switch due to a ratings update. Thank you for the patience. Your mother will let you know when we start up the insults again 😉

It’s been over a month since Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast was removed, so we assume it won’t be much longer until it returns.
Thanks to James M for the tip.

Undertale will release on Switch this year
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Undertale, a massively successful RPG from Toby Fox, was announced for Switch during this week’s Nintendo Direct. The reveal was very short though, and we only heard that it would be released “eventually”.
If you had any concerns about Undertale missing a 2018 launch on Switch, you don’t have to worry any longer. We now have confirmation that it’s arriving sometime this year. It’s far from a specific release window, but it’s certainly better than “eventually”.

Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor hasn’t been asked to reprise her role for Bayonetta 3… yet
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A couple of weeks ago, SEGA hosted a 24-hour live stream for its Gameblast 2018 charity event. As part of that, Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor stopped by for a good hour, and fans were able to ask all sorts of questions.
Taylor did actually talk about Bayonetta 3 briefly, but she didn’t have much to say – and there’s a good reason for that. Taylor said on the record that she hasn’t been asked to reprise her role just yet. This could be because, based on her estimation, the game is “quite early in the development”. Taylor believes she’ll eventually be asked back. Note that when she is asked to voice the role of Bayonetta again, Taylor mentioned that she won’t be able to say she’s involved with the game.
