Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
Kadokawa Games has some interest in Switch, according to president Yoshimi Yasuda. In a recent interview, Yasuda mentioned that the company is interested in looking into the platform in the future.
Yasuda said:
“We would like to deliver our games to as many peoples as possible, in the best route possible. Therefore, in the future we would like to look into the Nintendo Switch or Steam and any other hardware that has an install base.”
Kadokawa Games helped to develop the Wii-exclusive (and Japan-only) Earth Seeker a few years ago. They’re also responsible for Demon Gaze, and originally published Rodea: The Sky Soldier in Japan.

The Momotaro Dentetsu may not be well-recognized in the west, but it’s pretty big in Japan. Nintendo is now publishing the latest entry, Momotaro Dentetsu 2017: Tachiagare Nippon!!, on December 22. Famitsu shares more about the game in its latest issue.
The basic rules of the game are still exactly the same as past titles. Players become the president of a railroad company, move between stations based on the dice numbers rolled, and aim to become the first one to arrive at the designated destination. However, it is also important to gather fortune by buying things sold at other stations as well.
