Nippon Ichi Software surprised fans earlier in the year by announcing Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, which means the original game is finally getting a sequel after twenty years. In a recent interview, the company explained how it came to be.
Interestingly, it sounds like NIS didn’t really attempt making a sequel previously. Things were only set in motion after a western poll showed the popularity of Phantom Brave’s characters.

According to comments from former Nintendo of America employees, there was “a lot of drama” and “headbutting” surrounding the Switch reveal video, including from people high up at the company.
The video we’re referring to is the one that came out eight years ago, giving everyone a first glimpse at the system. It showed various scenarios and ways in which Switch can be played. The video brought us the well-known “Karen” rooftop meme, showed a glimpse of Super Mario Odyssey for the first time, and more.

Super Mario Party Jamboree review
Posted on 1 month ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 17, 2024
Developer: NDcube
Publisher: Nintendo
Like clockwork, roughly about every three years, Nintendo releases a new Mario Party game. That may seem like a lot, but it’s easy to forget that that for most of the series’ life these titles were getting cranked out on an annual basis. Nowadays though, Nintendo is spending more time and resources on these games than ever before – and it shows. While 2021’s Mario Party Superstars felt like a refreshing trip down memory lane, Super Mario Party Jamboree raises the bar for the series on multiple levels, from its clever and dynamic game boards to its robust suite of online options and modes. My nostalgia for the older entries aside, this one represents easily some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a Mario Party game, and it’s secured a spot as my new go-to title for multiplayer madness on the. Switch Lite players will want to pause before picking this game up – but everyone else has a lot to look forward to.

How the Switch version of Yakuza Kiwami came to be
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama has shared interesting details about how the recent Switch version of Yakuza Kiwami became to be.
It turns out that the project initially started as an experiment. Yokoyama was personally interested in Switch, especially after wrapping up work on the latest Super Monkey Ball game. Since the Yakuza team didn’t have much experience with the console, a small team began researching what was possible. Kiwami was chosen for the test and even though Yokoyama was pleased with the results, there were no plans to move forward with a proper release initially. However, there was another push due to the series’ new TV series.
