Miyamoto on Super Nintendo World – possible Switch interactivity, non-Mario representation, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 8 Comments
Yesterday, Nintendo and Universal Studios Japan held a special ceremony to announce the official start of construction on Super Nintendo World. 4Gamer shared some comments from Shigeru Miyamoto following the event.
At one point of the interview, Miyamoto touched on possible Switch interactivity at the park. He joked around by saying that he hopes the system will be even more popular in 2020, and thinks it could have a lifespan of longer than five years. According to Miyamoto, they’re thinking of potential interactivity between Switch and Super Nintendo World, and preparations are already in place for that. Nintendo is sharing their know-how from past experiences (like the 3DS at the Louvre Museum) and experimentation with Universal Studios and they are both are planning on how to implement the feature.

Another week, another new round of Dragon Quest XI details from Weekly Jump magazine. This time, we learn more about Silvia, what he can do in battle and the Samadhi Kingdom. Full credit to Gematsu for the translation.
Silvia is a traveling entertainer who lives a freewheeling life and has the wonderful dream of “making people around the world smile through his own performance.” He is always cheerful and positive, and is the top mood maker among the party. He has magnificent poses and seems to get instinctively entranced. He can participate in battle through attacks, support, and recovery, and can equip one-handed swords, whips, and daggers.
Spells he can use include:
- “Oomph” – Raises an ally’s attack power. A spell useful in boss battles and such.
His special skills include:
- “Hustle Dance” – An lively dance that restores HP to all members of the party.
- “Miracle Sword” – A one-handed sword skill that can recover HP while dealing damage.
- “Whip of Love” – A whip skill that deals great damage to multiple enemies.
- “Viper Fang” – A dagger skill that targets a single enemy and occasionally induces poison.
The Samadhi Kingdom is a country of knights surrounded by a desert. It is a historic kingdom that reigns over the desert and values its chivalry. It is rumored that the young prince is himself an outstanding knight. Horse races are also carried out there.
