TP: 2015’s Legacy of the Duelist used the Rule Set from the Pendulum Era as the announcement of the Current Rule Set was still a few years away at the time. Then, we re-watched every episode that appears in the original game and tried to match up all the dialog. When we heard that Japan would like to release the next update to the series to Japanese audiences, the first thing we did was try to find all episodes of the original anime series in Japanese.
Since the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist was planned as a TCG-only game, much of the UI, backgrounds, card art, story, and even the gameplay was created with western players in mind. Was there always a plan to bring the game to Japanese audiences from the start or that decision change over time?ĬM: Yes, we had the plan from the start. TP: The original game was exclusive to western markets and only used TCG cards, artwork, etc. Another challenge wasn’t specific to the Switch, but with the game now containing over 9,000 cards, getting the AI to play with and play against such a large pool of cards was tremendously difficult. So, making sure all the multiplayer modes work both online and local play was essential. TP: What were the biggest challenges when transitioning a console game to a platform that can be taken on the go?ĬM: With the Switch being a hybrid console, we knew players will expect a feature that is in other portable Yu-Gi-Oh! games – local multiplayer. As we took on these challenges, we focused on the new features the Switch affords, especially local wireless multiplayer and touch screen controls. There are challenges when bringing a game to a new system. How smooth do you all find the porting process to Nintendo Switch?ĬM: Yes! We love the Switch! We already have Super Bomberman Rand the Classic Collections on the Switch – the former being a launch title for the system – so we’re excited to release a Yu-Gi-Oh! title to the Switch as well. TP: Konami has been a supporter of the Nintendo Switch since day one. While fans of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist will find comfort in its familiarity, it is far more than a port! Additionally, we consider Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution the most comprehensive Yu-Gi-Oh! game ever. TP: What influenced the development team’s decision to port Legacy of the Duelist to Nintendo Switch?ĬM: We wanted to leverage the portability and home console style of the Switch, making it an intriguing choice for both local and online play.
