Ancient toying around with the idea of Gotta Protectors on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
Ancient posted a couple of tweets today showing some interest in a Switch version of Gotta Protectors. The game last released on 3DS as a hybrid of action and real-time strategy gameplay.
If Gotta Protectors were to come to Switch, the company wondered how the screen design would look like, so the team tried making a very rough design. Ancient thought what four-player split-screen would look like, but the individual screen for each player would be too small. The pixels are currently twice the usual size. If it was changed to about 1.3 times, it should be able to fit quite well, but the pixels would look off.
Note that Ancient doesn’t have Gotta Protectors running on Switch or anything along those lines. They are just testing things to fit on a 16:9 screen.

Gotta Protectors’ English version was mainly translated by one person

Gotta Protector’s localization was confirmed last February. However, it wasn’t until late July that the game made its way to North America.
Localization veteran Brian Gray was the main person behind Gotta Protector’s English version. In an interview with Michibiku, he mentioned that 8-4 helped out, but it was only him who translated the project.
According to Gray:
“8-4 had their usual — awesome! — team looking over everything and handling the bulk of communication with Ancient, but the translation was entirely me.”
In the same discussion, Gray also touched on how he became involved with Gotta Protectors and the origins of the English version. Regarding this, he said:

Protect Me Knight 2 originally came out in Japan as a 3DS eShop game in 2014. Ancient confirmed the game’s localization towards the end of last year, though there hasn’t been too much news since.
The second volume of the official soundtrack did recently come out, revealing a new English name: Gotta Protectors. Ancient has since confirmed that this is officially the new English title. Now we just need to know when the game itself will be available outside of Japan!
