QuoteGollum's quest for his precious will begin on September 1, 2022!

Coming on PC & consoles and at a later date on Nintendo Switch.

Quote"Cartridges make sense for the Switch. Because the device is portable, they're less likely to sustain damage while getting jostled around and don't require the whirling energy of a disk drive.

Cartridges are also far more advanced than they were in the '90s. The current Switch cartridge is capable of housing 32 GB compared to the 64 MB maximum on the Nintendo 64 — or just 10% of what a CD-ROM system like the original PlayStation could hold. Plus, Nintendo has this grudge about paying other tech companies to license their formats, preferring to keep control close with proprietary technology. It's why the GameCube ended up with Tiny Tom Donut discs.

But how did we end up with the cartridge? The answer goes back to nearly the beginning of video games and an oft-forgotten console..."

Quote"Vaghen, 1937: Dana Roze is a 17-year-old girl, who is beginning a brilliant career as a pianist. However, shadows begin to appear over her future as the fascist threat of the Brown Shadow hangs over Europe, at the dawn of the Second World War.

Taiga, 2004: Kate Walker survives as best she can in the salt mine where she has been imprisoned, when a tragic event propels her into a new adventure in search of her identity."

QuoteThe 8-bit Game Boy was sold between 1989 and 2003, but its architecture more closely resembles machines from the early 1980s, like the Commodore 64 or the NES. This talk attempts to communicate "everything about the Game Boy" to the listener, including its internals and quirks, as well as the tricks that have been used by games and modern demos, reviving once more the spirit of times when programmers counted clock cycles and hardware limitations were seen as a challenge.

Quote"Why was F-Zero abandoned? The insight I would share is that, at least during my tenure, Nintendo developers were always experimenting with different gameplay styles, always thinking about where a unique experience could be applied back, either to an existing franchise or maybe creating a new franchise. My bet is that somewhere in the Kyoto development centers, some developer is playing around with an idea that might be applied to F-Zero. It's never a situation, at least in my experience, where the company makes a conscious decision not to continue supporting X-Y-Z franchise. Historically it just hasn't worked that way, not when I was there."

Quote"No, and look, we'd obviously love to do that, but that hasn't been a priority for Nintendo – or at least not in conversations that they've had with us.

The way it works with our friends over there is we'll jump at any opportunity we can to work on one of their titles. There's a constant dialog between our two companies. Often there's a little bit of time that passes between titles, and there might be other ideas that are kicked around, but in the case of Skyward Sword, some time passed and then the email comes: 'Would you be interested in considering bringing Skyward Sword on to Switch?' To which the answer is of course: 'Yes we would.' And then we enter into the conversations with Nintendo around what that might look like and eventually we get underway. So it was similar in a lot of senses in terms of how Twilight Princess (on Wii U) came to fruition."

Quote"The core strategies of the new medium-term plan center around digging deeper into key existing IPs like Sonic, PHANTASY STAR, YAKUZA (Ryu ga Gotoku), Persona, and Total War and offering these to global markets. We are also taking up the challenge of "Super Games" within five years. Also, given our large pool of IPs that enjoy strong global recognition, we will actively leverage past IPs and further develop them, that is, by means of remasters, remakes, reboots, etc."

QuoteLimited Run Games have opened up their very own brick and mortar shop in Cary, NC and we were invited to the grand opening event! Enjoy a quick taste of what it was like and we'll have a more in depth look to share with you soon!

QuoteBased on the latest data from the NPD Group, Switch has outsold the PlayStation 4 in the United States.

Switch is now the fourth highest unit selling console in US history. It's the sixth highest unit selling video game hardware platform overall. When looking at consoles, it's only behind the PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii.
