At a Summer Games Fest press event, we were fortunate enough to not only get to play a little bit of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, but also to speak with Maja Moldenhauer, Studio MDHR’s director and executive producer. In an interview with Nintendo Everything, Moldenhauer spoke about the development cycle of the game’s new expansion, the scope of its new content, physical release, and the future of the company.
You can read the full interview below or watch an abbreviated version alongside some new gameplay over on YouTube.
We didn’t get a general Nintendo Direct this week, but we did see a game-specific presentation for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Nintendo went over a lot that was previously known, but showed off some new stuff as well. There was also lots of gameplay to check out before next month’s launch. You can check out the full recap announcement here.
Funnily enough, one of the more noteworthy pieces of information shared is that the game is getting an Expansion Pass, just like the last entry in the series. Nintendo and Monolith Soft will be rolling out new content in four waves through the end of 2023 which will be capped off by a new story scenario. Oh, and amiibo will be supported, including the Shulk figure that grants players the look of the Monado when using the Swordfighter class.
With everything that was shown earlier this week, how are you feeling about the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct and the game specifically? What are your thoughts on the Expansion Pass? Will you be picking everything up? Let us know in the comments below.

For a multimedia franchise that’s been around for 35 years, it’s been a while since JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure received a AAA game on home consoles, with 2016’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven being the most recent non-phone release. That’s why fans of the franchise have been excited for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R – a remaster of the 2014 fighting game that preceded Eyes of Heaven – which is coming to Switch and other platforms on September 2. I recently had an opportunity to play a small portion of the game and speak with the folks from Bandai Namco to learn more about what’s new in this enhanced version of the fanservice-filled fighter.
