Switch

Since Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was announced at The Game Awards a couple of months ago, there were a few concerns about the Switch version. A couple of retailers pulled down their listings which brought about worry that it might have been delayed or cancelled. Of course, Activision never actually said anything that would indicate such a thing happening.

Any remaining fears can now be put to rest. A number of retailers have opened pre-orders, including Amazon and GameStop. Amazon UK has it here.

Like other versions, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is coming to Switch on June 21 as previously announced. We also have the game’s boxart above.

Last week’s issue of Famitsu had a different type of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate interview. While we’re typically used to hearing from director Masahiro Sakurai, the magazine caught up with two people heavily involved with the music side of things. Hideki Sakamoto (who wrote the main theme song) and Erina Koga (who sung the main theme in Japanese) chatted with Famitsu. There was talk about the creation of the music, what the recording session was like, and more. 

You can read our full translation of the interview below. We do also have a brief comment from Sakurai as well who commented on his approach to the main theme this time around.
