The developers behind Wild Hearts S have spoken more about the game, including the decision to shy away from introducing new content and wanting to make a sequel.
Japanese magazine Famitsu recently spoke with director Takuto Edagawa about the release. One of the topics brought up is how on Nintendo Switch 2, there’s now support for four players whereas the original version only supported three. Koei Tecmo was able to fulfill its original vision and also responded to requests for that additional player slot.
Edagawa said the following:

The July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier this week, and following the event, we’re interested in hearing about what you thought of the show.
This wasn’t a general Nintendo Direct, meaning the Big N itself wasn’t really present here. We did get to see Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but that was all. Third-parties did show up with their own announcements – Monster Hunter Stories 3, Octopath Traveler, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Persona 3 Reload, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, and Once Upon A Katamari were shown. You can catch up on everything that was featured here.
So what’d you think of the July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase? What were your highlights? Let us know in the comments.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV Upgrade Pack review
Posted on 3 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: July 24, 2025
Developer: Nintendo Cube
Publisher: Nintendo
Back when I reviewed Super Mario Party Jamboree last year, I called it “biggest and best Mario Party game that Nintendo has made in a very long time. Beyond that, it’s probably my personal favorite in the series; whenever I have friends or family over and we decide to boot up a party game, there’s a very good chance Jamboree will be in the rotation. I was very open to the idea of an enhanced version of the game for the Switch 2, and one that takes advantage of the console’s new features such as mouse controls and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera with some fresh modes and minigames. Unfortunately, an upgrade that should have been a slam dunk doesn’t bring enough new content or features to justify its own existence as a paid upgrade.

Why Pokemon Scarlet and Violet feel like new games on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Almost three years after their original release, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have received a performance patch on Nintendo Switch 2. Today, we’re talking all about its improvements.
It’s no secret that things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing for the Pokemon series on Nintendo Switch. The release of Pokemon Sword and Shield saw one of the franchise’s biggest controversies yet – for the first time, a majority of Pokemon were cut and made completely unavailable in the game. That would be somewhat understandable on its own, but the developers went on to explain that those Pokemon were cut so the team could focus on “high-quality animations”. That statement sort of led more “dedicated” Pokemon fans to view the games with increased scrutiny, and the series hasn’t had the same reception since. When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched on Nintendo Switch 2, players did notice that the games were ambitious with their new open world – but its implementation drew criticism, and of course the games’ subpar performance and low visual quality were noted as well.
