Koei Tecmo

This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a massive Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. Directors Toshiyuki Kusakihara and Genki Yokota addressed a variety of topics, including inspirations, world-building and character writing, depictions of characters, themes, and lore, plus more. As part of this, we get to hear about Byleth and keeping his facial expressions to a minimum as well as Dimitri’s eyepatch.

You can read out full translation of the second half. In case you missed it, we shared a translation of the first half here. Note that the final page contains information related to spoilers, so please keep that in mind before proceeding.

On our podcast last week, voice actor Joe Zieja was kind enough to stop by and discuss his work on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Zieja played the part of Claude, leader of the Golden Deer house.

Aside from Claude, Zieja actually auditioned for other potential characters as well, including Dimitri and Dedue. Zieja spoke about his readings for those parts, telling us:

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a massive Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. Directors Toshiyuki Kusakihara and Genki Yokota addressed a variety of topics, including Cindered Shadows, user feedback, increasing the amount of save slots, the new outfits, the roles of Nintendo, Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo (including Nintendo’s requests), how the team went about creating the houses and students, and plenty more.

Due to the length of the interview – which is more than a dozen pages long – we’ve decided to split up the interview into two parts. We’re publishing the first half today and the second half tomorrow. 

Here’s our full translation of the first half:

Nintendo has announced that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will be receiving its latest update soon. It’ll address a trio of issues – notably not being able to unlock Deadpool’s costumes, having an insufficient amount of Ability Orbs, and not having access to “Retry” in Infinity Trials.

There’s no word yet on when exactly the patch we’ll be dropping. We’ll let you know when it’s officially live.

With the lack of Fatal Frame games in recent years, fans have been very much anticipating a new entry. We asked series producer Keisuke Kikuchi about the possibility of the franchise appearing on Switch a few months ago, and while he seemed potentially interested, no promises were made.

We saw the strong fan reaction after we published our article and decided to give things another go by asking Kikuchi about Fatal Frame once again. We also brought up the possibility of remasters since we know that’s something some of our readers expressed interest in.

Here’s our full exchange with Kikuchi:

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers

Despite being heavily rumored for a while, a Nintendo Switch port of Persona 5 never ended up happening. Instead, Persona 5 Royal, the updated re-release of the game, is out on the PS4 today. Developer Atlus sent out a survey to some players of the game, and one survey question in particular has sparked the interest of Persona fans. It asks “How interested would you be in purchasing Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers if it were to be released in the West?”.

Persona 5 Scramble, the sequel / spin-off to Persona 5, was recently released in Japan, and it included a Nintendo Switch version. So far, it hasn’t been officially announced for a Western release.
