This latest entry boasts involvement from Nintendo veteran Kentaro Tominaga, who worked for 20 years at the Mario maker and served as game designer on Zelda: Breath of the Wild.


Infold’s hopes for this new entry are clearly high, with a worldwide marketing push and 30m registrations for Infinity Nikki already under its brightly-coloured belt. And yes, that is Jessie J singing the song for the game’s trailer, above.


Infinity Nikki’s smartphone predecessor Shining Nikki was downloaded 100m times, though was the subject of a cultural spat in South Korea over traditional costumes – leading to the game’s Korean version being pulled, and criticism of the developer’s handling of the issue.


At Nintendo, Tominaga served as assistant director on GameCube classics such as Zelda: The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Mario Kart: Double Dash. More recently, he worked on Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and received a special thanks credit in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
