Those that have played Metroid Dread are aware that Samus doesn’t speak much in the game. This is actually fairly in line with the series as a whole, though we did get to hear more from her in Other M and through her inner thoughts in Fusion.

Yoshio Sakamoto, the producer of Metroid Dread, spoke about the decision to keep Samus relatively mute in a recent interview with GameSpot. He explained that limiting Samus’ words ties back to the game’s primary theme – that being dread of course. The team decided to focus on “acting or visuals” rather than words and voice.

Sakamoto’s full words on having Samus not speak much in Metroid Dread are below:

There may still be a glimmer of hope for native Kingdom Hearts ports on Switch.

During the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation unveiling Sora for the game last week, it was revealed that all of the major titles will be appearing on the console. But rather than going the native route, Square Enix is putting all of the games on the cloud. That means you’re required to have an internet connection to play, which many fans aren’t happy about.

It sounds like nothing is in the works at present, but speaking with Nintendo Life, Kingdom Hearts series producer Ichiro Hazama left the door slightly open to the possibility of native ports on Switch in the future. Although the team previously ran into issues such as “the storage capacity of the hardware”, true ports are “undecided” and Square Enix is “excited to hear feedback from our fans”.

Hazama’s full words:
