This week, the Pure Nintendo Podcast features a delightful chat with Jemma, Kirk, and a special guest, Nick Cellini of Turtle Flip Studio, who stops by to dish on his first Switch creation coming soon: Which Way Up.
In last week’s episode, we took a nostalgic glance back at the 30th anniversary of Chrono Trigger. This week, however, our eyes are firmly set on the horizon as we eagerly count down to the Switch 2 Direct. Nick shares some fascinating insights from his standpoint as a game developer, especially as Kirk excitedly dives deeper into Switch 2 developments now that he’s got Xenoblade Chronicles X in his game library.
Nick opens up about his journey as an indie developer with Turtle Flip Studio, nestled in vibrant Sydney. He’s been working tirelessly with his team to launch their debut game for the Nintendo Switch. We get a sneak peek into the games industry and the creative process behind game development. Which Way Up, a lively party game supporting up to four local players, is set to make its grand debut on the Switch on March 27—mark your calendars!
Switching gears, Kirk can’t help but delve into the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Our conversation touches on every aspect, from gameplay mechanics and action sequences to enhanced graphics and the myriad improvements made in this updated classic from the Wii U days. Will Kirk’s enthusiasm be contagious enough to get Nick on board with playing it?
