Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Switch games. These include Trinity Trigger, Dokapon Kingdom: Connect, Magical Drop VI, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
Yoshihiko Arai, the original creator of the design for Klonoa, has provided a bit of insight into the character. This comes as part of a recent interview with Lost In Cult.
“Namco wanted to create some catchy designs that would appeal to a variety of customers,” Arai said. One inspiration here was Sherlock Hound, an early animated series from Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame.
Giles Goddard, the lead designer and programmer on 1080° Snowboarding, originally thought the game would be cancelled. He reflected on the N64 classic in a recent issue of Retro Gamer.
The N64 game was a fairly strong success for Nintendo thanks to a favorable critical reception and sales that crossed two million copies worldwide. However, it actually didn’t test well internally. Because of this, Goddard felt Nintendo would simply scrap the project. Had the company ended up moving forward, Goddard believed it would end up becoming “a complete flop”.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been out for a little over a week now, and we want to hear your impressions.
This was a big deal for Nintendo as one of its first real cracks at cinema since the live-action Mario film many, many years ago. There was a lot of pressure to get it right, and while some of the reviews have been mixed, it’s already proven to be a huge success.

With Bayonetta 3 having just released last October, it was unexpected, to say the least, when a new game in the form of Cereza and the Lost Demon was revealed so soon after. However, it was clear from the get-go that this wouldn’t be the typical experience fans have grown to know and love, and would instead delve into a more relaxed but still engaging tale of the character’s upbringing. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a game that is surprising in more ways than one but is a pleasant gift to longtime fans of the franchise that gives Bayonetta a different, charming perspective with a gorgeous art direction and not once overstays its welcome. In some cases, despite being a spinoff, it could arguably be the best title the series has seen to date, and it’s a perfect place to jump into for those that have been hesitant to get acquainted with the Umbran Witch.
LEGO 2K Drive is seeing a retail release on Switch, but probably not in the way that most would have hoped. Rather than including an actual physical cartridge, it looks like 2K Games is opting to simply including a download code.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like this, and it definitely won’t be the last. However, given that LEGO 2K Drive is a fairly significant game release, it’s somewhat of a surprise. Not everyone will care – especially if you were planning on going digital in the first place – but it’s still worth bringing up.
