[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #12 – Furukawa Kombat: Test Your Might!
Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
What up, kids and squids?!
This week on NEP, Oni and Galen go off the rails and discuss everything Nintendo under the sun. Plus, Oni’s a little bit nicer to Galen this week. At least, he thinks so.
A ton of news and talking points came up this week – that and Oni’s jetlag made for a great recipe for wacky thoughts and meandering topics for discussion. Furukawa’s comments on Nintendo’s future, SNES on Switch, NoR president shenanigans, and Persona’s future on Nintendo consoles all get talked about, among other things.
Plus, Oni’s kindness breaks under the pressure as he engages in “Kombat” with Galen over OPINIONS on VIDEO GAMES.
We hope you enjoy! Let us know what you want to hear from us! Check out below for topic details and timestamps!

Why did Senoue go with Mega Man for his music piece? He discussed that and more in his own column, which we now have a translation of as well. You can read it in full below.

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
We recently came across an interesting LinkedIn profile from a former staffer at Soleil, the developer behind Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. We won’t name this person here in order to protect their identity, but the CV mentions two unannounced projects for Switch. The staffer served as an environment artist on one of these games, and a lead environment artist on the other title.
Soleil has ties to Valhalla Game Studios, the team behind Devil’s Third on Wii U. The company was also responsible for Devil’s Third Online aside from Naruto to Boruto. Thus far, Soleil hasn’t announced or released any Switch games.

“I think if you play “Phantasy Star” after reading this interview, you’ll look at the game in a whole new light.”
-Naoki Horii, M2 Dev Team
Japanese website Game Watch recently sat down for an interview with three key figures from SEGA and M2 handling the SEGA AGES collection on Nintendo Switch.
The mega interview contains all kinds of details on new features to the Switch version, the incredible headaches that 80’s game development caused them, and never-before-heard stories from development of the original “Phantasy Star”, firsthand from Rieko Kodama, who was the original designer for the game. It’s a must-read for die-hard fans. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve included some discussion about the SEGA Ages series in general that you may have missed last week (with some extra comments).
We’ve prepared an exclusive translation of the in-depth interview, and hope you enjoy.
