Just prior to the launch of Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, Japanese magazine Famitsu spoke with a couple of the game’s developers. Producer Hitoshi Yamagami and director Kaori Ando were both brought in for the discussion. Yamagami previously worked on the likes of Dr. Mario, Panel de Pon (referenced in the interview), and Fire Emblem while Ando has been involved with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (also brought up in the interview).
The talk was very interesting, as we’re able to learn how Nintendo came up with the concept for Sushi Striker and how the project turned out the way it did in the end. The original plan was for something quite different, and various genres were considered.
Three more villagers have been added to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Players can now come across Julian, Pekoe and Boone.
Julian features the unlockable item carriage while Pekoe has mama panda. Boone’s unlockable item is the sandbag.

We found out a couple of days ago that Devolver Digital is publishing Not a Hero: Super Snazzy Edition on Switch next month. Before that, the company will also be bringing over Crossing Souls.
Here’s an overview for the action-adventure game, along with a trailer:
During an interview last month, GameDaily spoke with Nintendo of America head of sales and marketing Doug Bowser. A number of topics were discussed, including Switch’s audience.
According to Bowser, the system has a “broad” demographic. While games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and mature titles “skew a bit older,” Nintendo has also seen titles including Kirby Star Allies and Splatoon 2 appealing to a younger segment. A wide array of players are also experiencing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fan Moosehunter has shared a lot of early information about the RPG before it was officially announced. It’s how we found out about things like Shulk and Fiora in the Challenge Mode Pack, among other things.
Though it was initially discovered a few weeks back, new datamined information has been floating around this week. Continue on below for more details.
With every major Pokemon game, there is usually a decision involved. Nintendo often publishes two versions which fans often choose between. That doesn’t go for everyone as some folks will pick up both, but players generally settle for one version.
Pokemon: Let’s Go is this year’s entry, and it’s significant since it’ll be appearing on Switch. But which version will you be going for: Pikachu or Eevee? Perhaps you’re in that small group interested in both versions? Or maybe you’re buying neither! Let us know in the comments below.
