While it’s taken significantly longer than expected, Azure Striker Gunvolt is finally getting the Japanese Voice Mode on October 20 as part of a 1.3 update. It had originally been announced last year. In the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, this is already included on the cartridge.

The Japanese Voice Mode is rather substantial. In addition to restoring voices for all of the characters, the game has been re-localized. A bunch of dialogue has also been added in as Gunvolt moves through stages.

Here’s the official announcement from Inti Creates:

Nintendo recently posted a video interview with Shin’en on its German YouTube page. Martin Sauter, the studio’s art director, took on some community questions. Sauter talked about the history of Shin’en, FAST Racing Neo in depth (making it easier for beginners, length of development, not trying to create an F-Zero spiritual successor), interest in the continued support of Nintendo platforms, and more.

The interview hasn’t been made available in other languages officially, but we did take the time to translate the whole thing in English. Head past the break to read it in full.

Earlier today, Nintendo published a new interview with Shigeru Miyamoto about Donkey Kong on its Japanese website. It was conducted in celebration of the NES Classic Edition/Famicom Mini due out on the market next month.

To say that the interview was interesting would be an understatement. It’s unfortunately Japanese-only right out, but Wired has provided a pretty good rundown of what was talked about. Miyamoto revealed how Nintendo’s company bathtub helped soothe his thoughts, working with Nintendo of America and pushed for Donkey Kong’s name, how he tried conveying that Mario was in his 20s, and more.

Head past the break for a summary of Wired’s article. We encourage you to read their full piece here as well.

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas originally started out in 2013 as a mobile title. Lately though, it’s been ported to new, dedicated gaming systems.

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas recently released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In an announcement, publisher FDG Entertainment said that the release on new systems has boosted overall sales past one million units. The same notice also reveals that Oceanhorn is coming to more platforms, including “a Nintendo console.”

Ever since Oceanhorn’s original announcement, gamers have compared it to The Legend of Zelda. It’s an action-adventure experience featuring “captivating storytelling, breathtaking 3D visuals and exciting gameplay”. We’ve attached a trailer below showing what it has to offer.

Nintendo appeared at Apple’s conference in September to announce Super Mario Run. The new mobile game will debut first on iOS in December.

When the game was revealed, Apple put some special functionality on iTunes. Users have been able to receive a notification when Super Mario Run is made available. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, 20 million users have done this so far.

We also have a couple of other random notes from Cook’s visit to Nintendo. The company said that he stopped by for an hour, and also met with president Tatsumi Kimishima.
