The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Nintendo have announced that in Europe, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is the fastest-selling game of 2019. It most likely will lose this record when Pokémon Sword and Shield comes out next month!

Astral Chain

The latest Devblog post for Astral Chain is from Sota Kojima (Game Designer), who came to talk about what the game structure was originally like. Here’s an excerpt:

In our original design, Neuron Headquarters served as a set hub world, where you’d choose one mission from a growing list to take on. Then you’d head into the field, finish the mission, and boom – it’s right back to HQ to pick another mission. At the time, we felt like this was the best structure for emphasizing the action gameplay of taking on enemies together with your Legion. However, as development proceeded, we decided that alone wasn’t enough. We also wanted to make players really feel like police officers hitting the scene and cracking cases. The “hub level, mission, repeat” structure didn’t sufficiently emphasize the theme of carrying out police duties, which often involve walking a beat, searching for clues and talking to people.
