Project Octopath Traveler devs on the game’s origins, demo feedback and improvements, much more

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Last week, Japanese magazine Famitsu published a fairly lengthy Project Octopath Traveler interview. Producer Masashi Takahashi from Square Enix and director Keisuke Miyauchi from Acquire were brought in to discuss the Switch exclusive.

One point mentioned is how the team started this project with Tomoya Asano, the chief producer who also worked as producer of the Bravely series. The primary concept is “going on a journey.” The player would choose one of the eight protagonists, role-plays as them, and freely has a journey with the world.

Switch version of Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame lacks the track editor

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

One of the big features Milestone is promoting for Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame is a track editor. Players will be able to choose a stadium, make a course, and share it online features with friends. While that’s certainly a nice feature, it unfortunately won’t be included in the Switch version.

A subscriber email mentions the missing functionality from Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame on Switch. Currently, we don’t have any details as to why the track editor won’t be present on Switch. We attempted to reach out to Milestone this week, but thus far have not received a reply. If we happen to receive more information pertaining to the situation, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame will be out on Tuesday. If you have interest in the game, keep in mind that the track editor won’t be available on Switch.

Saber Interactive hasn’t had much to say about Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn. We did recently come across a retail listing for the game, but we haven’t heard much over the past few months.

Speaking with TechRaptor, Saber Interactive finally explained the situation. Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is apparently complete, and the team is now working around licensing issues. News will be provided soon on the game’s official Indiegogo page. Oh, and the Wii U version has been dropped, which is not much of a surprise.

A few Nintendo-published games have seen DLC over the past year. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Fire Emblem Warriors are among the titles that have received new content following release.

One game not included in that is Super Mario Odyssey. The game is getting a free update, but actual paid DLC has not yet been announced. Nintendo isn’t against the idea, however.
