In around a month and a half, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be released on Switch. The RPG, a redone version of the GameCube original, arrives on May 23.
In the very first trailer, it was clear that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will have updated graphics on Switch. Aside from that though, Nintendo recently clarified that there will be “a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.” Currently we’re waiting for more details on what that means.
As we wait for more answers from Nintendo, what are you hoping to see when it comes to new / updated features? Let us know in the comments.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom composer shares insight into the music

Masato Ohashi, one of the composers who worked on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, recently shared insight into the game’s music. Ohashi shared a number of thoughts as part of a post on Nintendo’s recruitment website.

Ohashi gave one example by highlighting the ascent to the flying ship in the sky, or the Wind Temple. The goal here was to “make music that rose in tension”, which meant starting with just a few instruments and increasing the number as players keep going up. It’s topped off with a climax and the team decided not to have any music at all when the sky clears.
