My Nintendo has updated with a bunch of new rewards. Members can access the latest set of discounts, 3DS themes, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
A recent issue of Nintendo Dream features an informative and lengthy interview with Octopath Traveler’s main producers from Square Enix, known as the “Asano Team”. The discussion focuses on art direction and learning more about the eight main characters (who were originally going to be a team of up to twelve!) with behind-the-scenes information on changes to characters’ designs, names, and personalities. We also have a brand new look at initial prototypes for the visual style, talk about a scrapped HD Rumble idea, and much more.
Check out our exclusive translation below to learn first-hand how Octopath Traveler started out based on Final Fantasy VI and Romancing SaGa 3, and how the team pioneered a new “HD-2D” art style to create a JRPG that feels nostalgic, yet brand new, all at once.

Even though Switch lacks a Virtual Console, we’ve seen many classic games from a variety of systems on the platform. NES, NeoGeo, SEGA Genesis, and releases from the arcade are among what has landed on Nintendo’s console – and we’re not even a full two years in yet.
Now thanks to SimFabric, Switch is about to receive a game from the ZX Spectrum computer. Nintendo’s website lists Saboteur! for November 9.
