Fuga: Melody of Steel

CyberConnect2 has a pretty major game coming out in just a few weeks. The company has been known for working on major manga / anime properties like Naruto and Dragon Ball, but will soon be releasing Fuga: Melodies of Steel. In addition to being a new entry in the Little Tail Bronx series, it’s also the very first self-published title from CyberConnect2.

We recently spoke with Yoann Gueritot to talk about Fuga: Melodies of Steel and the company’s first foray into self-publishing. You can read our full discussion below.

A new month rolled right on in this week. Now that we’re in July, we want to know what you’ve been playing.

With Fuga: Melodies of Steel releasing in just a few weeks, we were able to speak with creative director Yoann Gueritot. Fans are likely aware that the game is set in the same universe as the other Little Tail Bronx titles, Solatorobo and Tail Concerto.

Over the years, there have been plenty of requests for CyberConnect2 to re-release or remake those previous titles. Gueritot addressed the possibility again while speaking with Nintendo Everything.

He told us:

BioWare made one game for DS back in the day in the form of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. It turns out that the company was also tinkering with an exclusive entry in the Mass Effect series, but the project was ultimately scrapped.

The same team behind Sonic Chronicles was also working on something called Mass Effect: Corsair. This would have been a Star Control-inspired game set in Batarian space that ran alongside the original trilogy.

Former BioWare producer Mark Darrah told MinnMax:

One of the things we’ve heard about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is that the game will have quality of life improvements over the original. Nintendo has now put out a trailer detailing the improvements, additions, and changes for the Switch version.

Here’s the video:

Nintendo shared a new developer interview today for Game Builder Garage. Naoki Masuda, the director and programmer, along with Kosuke Teshima, the subdirector participated in the discussion.

Both developers offered insight into the game programming software. There are some interesting tidbits shared, such as how the nodes were treated like an idol group.
