A few days ago, we heard that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might feature dual audio based on a comment from a Nintendo representative. Sadly though, producer Eiji Aonuma has confirmed himself that you won’t be able to easily change languages in the game. There is no option to simply turn on the Japanese voice acting rather than the English voices.

Aonuma told IGN Portugal:

“In the case of the Nintendo Switch, if you change the language of the system, you can change the game to Japanese, but that will change everything to Japanese. Unfortunately, it is not possible to play with English text, for example, and Japanese voices.”

There’s a lot that’s similar, but also some changes. Mainly, Sonic Mania and LEGO City Undercover are shown for spring. The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ isn’t shown anywhere, strangely…

Senran Kagura creator Kenichiro Takagi has talked quite a bit about the Switch in recently, and he was also one of the developers invited to attend the Switch presentation in Tokyo last week. In a recent Famitsu interview, he shared his ideas for his planned Switch project and how he wants to make use of a certain Switch feature:

“It ’s the HD Rumble after all. Because I want to express “softness” with it. I already created a project, and now I’m in the middle of focusing on how to realise it. I think games have a “sensation of touching” in many meanings, so I want to realise a new experience that ’s exclusive to Nintendo Switch.”

I’m sure we can all imagine what he’s talking about.
