Famitsu recently published an interview with Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura and supervisor Hideki Kamiya. While we posted some tidbits previously, we’ve taken another look at the discussion and have a bunch of additional information to share.
Taura knew that directing was a tough and lonely endeavor, but it was even tougher and lonelier than he expected. Since it was a new IP, it was hard to define what was right and wrong to do, so he tried out a lot of ideas during production. He gained even more respect for Kamiya since he’s been a director so many times before.

With past Mega Man collections on Switch, fans of physical media haven’t necessarily been happy with Capcom’s release plans. Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 both required additional downloads. In other words, you don’t get every game on a single cartridge.
Capcom is finally changing its ways with Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. The company has confirmed that all six games will be included on a single cartridge. That also goes for the Z Chaser mode. Fortunately, there will be no additional downloads this time around.
