Stardew Valley was originally called “Sprout Valley”, plus other development changes
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Stardew Valley just celebrated its first anniversary yesterday. In honor of the event, ConcernedApe issued a blog post looking back on the game’s lengthy development.
At one point, Stardew Valley was actually known as “Sprout Valley”. ConcernedApe also shared various screenshots from early development. While the core ideas were in place way back in 2012, much was changed and added.
“I ended up re-doing nearly all the art several times. I redid the vasty majority of the soundtrack. I expanded the NPC’s way beyond anything you’d see in the 2012 version. I made the map way bigger and more detailed. I added JojaMart and the Community Center. I added tons of items. I totally changed the crafting system and the mines.”
There’s plenty more about Stardew Valley’s development here. Look for the game on Switch later this year.

Voez can only be played on Switch’s portable unit, other tidbits
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 57 Comments
The official website for Voez has been updated with a few more details about the Switch game.
Most significantly, only portable play is supported due to incorporation of the touchscreen. There isn’t support for buttons, and you won’t be able to experience the title on the television as a result.
After purchasing Voez, 116 songs will be available. Ascension(xi) is in as an exclusive song on Switch, and even more exlusive music will be added for free down the road via updates.
One final note: Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are all in.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
Arc System Works has two games lined up for the Japanese Switch eShop launch. On March 3, the company will release Othello and Frontier Days. Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream provides an early look at both in this month’s issue.
In Othello, you can battle against 16 different levels of CPU opponents. You can also take advantage of wait / undo and hint functions. Of course, two players are supported as well. Othello will cost 500 yen on Switch.
Arc System Works’ other Switch title is New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers. Nintendo Dream doesn’t say much, but confirms that more modes are included compared to the 3DS version and it features HD visuals. A price point is not listed.
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers should be coming west, and perhaps sooner rather than later. Arc System Works already has a teaser site open here.

Yacht Club may consider physical version of Shovel Knight for Switch after finishing King Knight’s campaign
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 10 Comments
Shovel Knight is available physically on Wii U and 3DS. On Switch though, the game will only be sold on the eShop – at least at launch.
Yacht Club Games isn’t against a physical version of Shovel Knight for Switch. Actually, the studio told one fan on Twitter that it might be considered after work wraps up on King Knight’s campaign.
The tweet is as follows:
@ChrisArrowood98 Digital only at this time. We might try for a physical release once King Knight's campaign is complete.
