Capcom COO: Praise for the Switch, will see how to support the system while looking at Ultra Street Fighter II
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 109 Comments
Japanese business publication Toyo Keizai published an interview with Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto today (thanks to NeoGAF users CalmMind and zeromcd73 for the translation) . Among other things, the interview was about the Switch. Tsujimoto praised the system and its unique selling point – he talked about how his primary school-age daughter, who has never wanted a home console before, now wants a Switch. He also said that developing games that users want to play is crucial – in the DS & Wii era, third party developers were initially struggling with making compelling games that make use of a system’s unique features. Nintendo had to lead the way, essentially, and show other developers how to make games that fit the hardware.
Tsujimoto also briefly talked about Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on the Switch. He stated that Capcom will think of how to support the Switch while observing how Ultra Street Fighter II does on the system. Of course, this could be interpreted in a lot of ways, though one would hope that the sales of a remake won’t be the only factor Capcom takes into consideration for their future support of the system.
HORI Switch Pro Controller and arcade stick being released in July
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 35 Comments
Accessory maker HORI has revealed the release dates for two major additions to its Switch line-up: both the Pro Controller and the arcade stick will be released in July this year.
The arcade stick is pretty standard fare and will cost 16,178 Yen. The Pro Controller, which will cost 3,218 Yen, is a bit more interesting. It’s quite a bit cheaper than the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, but that comes at the cost of losing some key features, such as the gyro sensor, HD rumble and the NFC scanner. It’s also not a wireless controller. However, one notable feature is its d-pad. You will have the ability to choose between a traditional d-pad and four separate directional buttons, like on the Joy-Con. The one you’re not using can be detached and stored on the back of the controller.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2: Subclass feature detailed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
As can be expected from a game combining the Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon series, Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 offers some pretty in-depth customization options. The latest issue of Jump magazine revealed another such example – the subclass feature (thanks to Siliconera for the translation).
In addition to the primary class each character has, you will also be able to assign them a “subclass”. This allows them to use skills from that class and gives them stat buffs. This can be used to enhance a character’s strength or compensate for their weaknesses. Jump magazine lists two examples: first up, a Landsknecht is a close-range combat specialist. However, by giving him the Runemaster subclass, he can now attack from range with a variety of elemental spells. The other example is a Hexer with a Paladin subclass. Hexers debuff enemies, but are normally pretty frail. However, thanks to the Paladin subclass, they can take a few more hits and are able to wield shields.
