Feature: “The Bigger A Fan You Are…The More Averse You Are To Making Changes” – Final Fantasy Tactics Interview

We speak with Kazutoyo Maehiro and Hiroshi Minagawa.

Boy, Square-Enix really wants us to party on our Switches like it’s… 1997.

Because over the last few years, they’ve made three separate titles in a newly minted, old-school RPG franchise Octopath Traveler, and then there’s the upcoming Switch 2 release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the defacto RPG game that caused a brand distinction between Nintendo and Sony nearly three decades ago.

“Everyone Is A Director” At Nintendo, Says Former Dev, But Don’t Make Excuses

Or you’re outta here, pal.

Motoi Okamoto, a former developer at Nintendo and now steward for the Silent Hill franchise at Konami, has taken to social media to comment on whether game directors might be considered “incompetent” if they’re unable to judge new ideas without first implementing them.

Review: 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller – Ultimate? No, But ‘Decent’ Doesn’t Have The Same Ring

No wake, no bake?

We’ve been putting a procession of 8BitDo controllers through the review process since Switch 2 launched. I’ve covered their excellent Pro 3 controller, whilst Ollie has been all over the new Arcade Stick for Switch + Switch 2 and the Ultimate 2C, which is the budget-friendly version of what I’m taking a look at today – the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless.
