Below are several tidbits from the interview, as translated by Gematsu:
- (Regarding the release of Seiken Densetsu Collection🙂 When I thought that I wanted to release a packaged edition that compiles the first three Seiken Densetsu games, Nintendo Switch, the most suitable hardware, was announced. The platform makes it easy for users to enjoy multiplayer.
- Today’s elementary school students only know the latest high-definition graphic titles. I want parents and children to enjoy the classic Seiksen Densetsu titles together.
- The point I want you to pay attention to is the transition and connection of the series. I want you to become acquainted with these amazing games released over 20 years ago.
- The tricks from the original versions of the games were left almost as is.
- (Regarding a new title:) Of course, I would like to announce new developments on the series’ 25th anniversary.
- It’s still undecided, but there may be some sort of movement when playing Seiken Densetsu Collection.
- I want to develop the series more and more from here on. Please support us.

Japanese retailer lists arcade stick for Switch with Pokken Tournament reference, then pulls it
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 16 Comments
Rumors about the possibility of Pokken Tournament on Switch have begun due to a Japanese retailer listing. Sinobi listed a new arcade stick for the console, which mentioned that it can be used in fighting games such as Pokken. It has since been removed.
It goes without saying that this should not be treated of any sort of confirmation that Pokken Tournament is coming to Switch. That being said, the news is very interesting and gives some hope about a potential port or new Pokken title on the system.
