Will Wright, the creator of SimCity and The Sims, has been an unconventional mainstay in the Smash Bros. series. Dr. Wright first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy before becoming an Assist Trophy starting with Brawl. Of course, Dr. Wright is a reference to the game developer and the character in SimCity who originally showed up in the SNES version of that title.

During a recent episode of the GI Show, Wright was asked about the Smash Bros. Assist Trophy. Here’s what he had to say on the subject:

Unlike last year at this time, Nintendo’s upcoming slate of games for 2019 is pretty well known. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe just came out, Yoshi’s Crafted World drops at the end of March, and we’ll also be getting games such as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Daemon X Machina, and a new Pokemon title in 2019. Third-parties will help fill out the schedule with the likes of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, Final Fantasy releases, Mortal Kombat 11, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and more. 3DS will understandably be quieter, but we did just see a Mario & Luigi remake release and Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is coming in just a couple of months.

Based on what we know so far, what are your most anticipated games of 2019? Is there one title more than any other that you’re looking forward to? Let us know what you’re excited about in the comments below.

System: Switch
Release date: January 11, 2019
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco

Over the course of its early lifespan, the Switch has already managed to gather an extremely impressive library of third-party games to its repertoire. From hugely successful indies to critically acclaimed entries in long-standing JRPG franchises, it’s obvious that publishers and developers have noticed the success of Nintendo’s latest console. Continuing with the Switch’s recent streak of adding multiple different JRPG franchises to its library, Bandai Namco has added a well-known entry from one of its most famous series: Tales of Vesperia. However, this isn’t simply a port of an older game. Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is a remaster of the PS3 port, with updated graphics, voice over, and extra content. So how well does it stack up to not only the original version, but the other JRPGs lining the Switch’s library?

Travis Strikes Again is set in the No More Heroes universe, but it’s not the typical style of gameplay that fans are accustomed to. However, we know how important it is due to director Suda51 previously mentioning that it would be connected to a possible No More Heroes 3. And if all goes well, Travis Strikes Again could create a series of its own.

Suda51 spoke about that and more in an interview with Feed4gamers. Aside from discussing the future of Travis Strikes Again, he expressed interest in putting out “as many ports as possible” for his previous games and also indicated that a Killer7 sequel is unlikely to happen since a continuation is unnecessary.
