Hello, my beautiful animal buddies! This week on NEP, we’ve got a lot of games under our belt: Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Dragon’s Crown Pro, and Byleth impressions from Smash. Then, we fawn over how gorgeous this new Animal Crossing: New Horizons limited edition Switch is. And the big news about Switch outselling the SNES in under 3 years. Has Switch really been this successful? It’s surreal. Also surreal is the details finally releasing on Pokemon HOME. It’s a mixed bag, and most reaction has been less than great. And some more details on Super Nintendo World opening in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka this summer.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

Persona 5 Scramble dev says the story can still be enjoyed without having played Persona 5

Persona 5, along with its enhanced re-release Persona 5 Royal, have never appeared on Switch. However, that hasn’t stopped Atlus and Koei Tecmo from bringing Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers to Nintendo’s console. This new game mashes up RPG and action gameplay from both companies and also features a story set six months after the original title.
For Nintendo fans, not having experience with Persona 5 apparently won’t be a huge barrier. Producer Daisuke Kaneda, speaking with Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream in a recent issue, says Persona 5 Scramble’s story can still be enjoyed even if you haven’t gone through the PlayStation 4 RPG.
