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:

Playtonic has announced a new update for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Switch players should have access starting April 14.

One of the major changes concerns the Impossible Lair itself with two options: “Not So Impossible Lair” and “Impossible Lair”. The first one includes optional checkpoints, while the latter means you’ll need to play without the Bee Shield or checkpoints. If you do go with Impossible Lair and clear the level, you’ll earn the “Golden Try” Tonic. 

Here’s the full rundown of the update:

The Rhythm Heaven series has been dormant for a few years now. But if Rhythm Heaven series composer Tsunku has his way, he’d eventually get a new entry on Switch.

Tsunku said that he wants a new game on the console. Additionally, he’d like for fans to be more vocal to Nintendo about making it happen. He feels Rhythm Heaven and Switch are a good match since you can play it both alone or together with family and friends.

The last Rhythm Heaven game was Rhythm Heaven Megamix. That game came out in Japan in 2015, followed by the west in 2016.

Despite coming out many years later on Switch, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has still managed to sell a significant amount of copies on the platform. In 2019, the open world RPG shifted around 700,000 copies on Nintendo’s console.

That tidbit comes from CD Projekt Red’s new management board report. A chart included in the document shows that 11 percent of The Witcher 3’s overall sales were on Switch last year. Remember that the title debuted in mid-October on the system, so it was on the market for less than three months in 2019.

Here’s a look at the chart:

Disco Elysium, ZA/UM’S RPG that has earned acclaim from both critics and players alike, is on the way to Switch. The studio revealed plans for a port during BBC’s Game On podcast today.

When asked when Disco Elysium is coming to Switch, art director Aleksander Rostov mentioned that “this interview is, at this very moment, interrupting me from writing up design documentation for the user interface and input systems for the Switch port”. Lead narrative writer Helen Hindpere added: “I think… yeah, it’s gonna happen soon.”

For those that aren’t familiar with Disco Elysium, check out the following overview and trailer:
