The link has the scans and "an attempt at doing a DeepL machine translation of the whole thing", so be aware some stuff will be lost in translation.

Some of the stuff confirms my suspicions:

The key point we focused on was getting new staff to understand our production philosophy.

I don't remember if I read it somewhere, but this kind of supports the idea that Metroid Prime Remastered was a way to get the Retro staff up to speed with Prime development.

It sounds like it wasn't a full reboot at Retro Studios too, so they kind of had to move along with what they inherited from Bandai Namco.

Anyway, interesting read, hopefully there'll be a human translated version soon and more developer interviews for this title.

Big changes are coming to the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Playmates has unveiled they will not be renewing the license

Now, here's a pleasant surprise. Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! for NES is... good? Shockingly so! Somehow developer Compile took on the improbable task of bringing gigantic monsters to the NES hardware and not only made a compelling (if admittedly repetitive) game out of it, they managed to convey the scale and mass of its eponymous antihero. It helps that the sluggish slugfest action that Godzilla lends himself to is leavened with nimble sequences centering on Mothra, whose movements and skills are wholly different than Godzilla's. The resulting work plays out as a sort of primitive strategy game on a series of hex grids across the solar system in a loving (and visually impressive) tribute to Showa-era films like Destroy All Monsters!—and just in time for the theatrical debut of Godzilla Vs. Biollante. An unexpected highlight of the ’89 library... and a fine bit of counter-programming for the "big sprites punch stuff" games that helped sell the new 16-bit machines.

It’s time for some holiday high jinks! Raphael and Casey Jones are doing some holiday shopping when a goat mutant who really wishes he was the Krampus decides to bring in some yuletide chaos! Will stopping this particular lawbreaker restore Casey’s holiday spirit? There’s only one way to find out — grab some cookies and milk (not the ones for Santa) and settle in for TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures!

At the end of the year, it feels like the perfect moment to look back at everything Godzilla accomplished in 2025. This was the King of the Monsters’ seventieth anniversary year, a milestone that powered a wave of celebrations, surprise collaborations, and major announcements about what comes next. From headline-grabbing events to earth-shattering new creative projects, 2025 was a great time for kaiju fans around the world. Now, before the calendar turns another page, it’s time to revisit some of the biggest highlights from Godzilla’s landmark year…

Battle Nexus launches this week, and TMNT Tuesday #40 goes hard with an exclusive first look at issue #2—including a dream match years in the making: Mirage Shredder vs. IDW Leonardo.

Follow Zelda’s journey back in time as she meets Rauru and Sonia, the first king and queen of Hyrule, and experience the canonical events that lead to the Imprisoning War against the Demon King Ganondorf from the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game.

Zelda meets new allies along the way, including Agraston, the worldly Goron chief, Qia, the skilled fighter and Zora queen, Raphica, the quick-witted leader of the Rito, and Ardi, a compassionate leader among the Gerudo. You’ll also meet a Korok named Calamo who travels with the Mysterious Construct that can transform and take to the skies.

Free updates for the game are now available that include fearsome enemies, a new sync strike with Zelda and Calamo, three additional weapons, an extra challenging difficulty level, and more.

Plus, you can receive in-game bonus items if you have save data from the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity games on your Nintendo Switch 2.

This is Xcavator 2025 (NES Cartridge), a fully functional NES title built from Oberth’s original design of the same name. First developed at Incredible Technologies Inc., the company behind coin-op classics like Golden Tee Golf, Big Buck Hunter, and more, Xcavator was shopped around to multiple publishers across the country way back in 1991, but it never found a home, and was quietly archived and never looked at again.

Recently, the prototype's source code was discovered and rebuilt by the Video Game History Foundation from Oberth's development archives, which were donated by his family after his unfortunate passing. Incredible Technologies then graciously agreed to donate the rights to the game to the VGHF to use as a fundraiser for its charitable work.

The Video Game History Foundation then worked with Mega Cat Studios to finish the game, staying true to Oberth’s original vision and using the tools and environments that Oberth would have utilized himself to make the game whole.

iam8bit took it from there, creating a truly unique and authentically retro package for Xcavator 2025 that includes a 14-page manual loaded with more info on Oberth and Xcavator, written by the fine folks of the VGHF themselves. It’s exhibit-quality stuff, available for your very own collection.

Best of all, 100% of the profits from the Xcavator 2025 NES Cartridge will go to fund the Video Game History Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and teaching the history of video games.

This is a one-of-a-kind product made to support an important cause. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of video game history.
