In a post on Nintendo’s recruitment website, notable insight was shared into the making of a boss for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Designer Takuma Tokita published the piece.
Tokita spoke about the importance of enemy design as that impacts gameplay. In making these creatures, a key focus for the developer is “visually conveying how to best an enemy’s attacks in the design.”
We won’t get into details so that we can avoid spoilers, but much of Tokita’s piece covers the game’s Fire Temple boss. We have a full translation below.

How to farm Legendary Machine parts in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 16 hours ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new Kirby Air Riders ready to go focusing on how you can farm Legendary Machine parts.
Anyone looking to 100 percent complete Kirby Air Riders is in for a challenge, because it’s got huge checklists for Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial, Road Trip, and Online. You’ll need to complete them all in order to earn true 100 percent completion (plus a few other things), and thankfully many of the challenges you’ll need to clear are fairly self-explanatory. That being said, City Trial’s checklist is much more dependent on random luck and field events, meaning it’s probably going to be the one you finish last. Several of the tasks within require that you assemble Legendary Machines, of which there are four. Two of them are Dragoon and Hydra, while the other two are related to the story and are considered spoilers. We’ll be discussing them within, so keep that in mind before you continue.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds just came to Nintendo Switch 2, and if you’re wondering how it compares to the Switch 1 version, you’ll want to check out a new video that’s dropped.
Right out of the gate, the Nintendo Switch 2 benefits from an increased frame rate – it’s 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS. For a racer, that can make a big difference. On top of that, with a higher resolution, the image appears sharper on Nintendo Switch 2.
