Nintendo fans might be more familiar with pocket monsters, but digital monsters have also been quite popular in certain parts of the world for many years now. To be more precise, we're talking about the Digimon series.
These video games started out life exclusively on the PlayStation in 1999 and eventually became accessible on more systems as time passed. The Nintendo DS, in particular, got a handful of Digimon titles and this year the Switch will receive the strategy RPG, Digimon Survive.
To help promote the upcoming release of this title and the 20th anniversary of the Digimon series, Bandai Namco has uploaded a 15-minute developer diary to its official YouTube channel. It features the producers, Habu Kazumasa and Tsuzuki Katsuaki of the new game, reflecting on series and talking about how they're applying all of their previous knowledge to the latest entry.

Turn Based Strategy RPGs are just about my favorite genre so I'm definitely excited for Digimon Survive.
The last game in the series I played, Cyber Sleuth had some interesting ideas even if the excecution was a bit sloppy.
Digimon World 3 was my game and i loved it to bits. Shame i never got in to the DW games on PS4, was to much information at the begging of the game that kept my lazy brain from easing in.
The original Digimon World was great but really, really hard. Never completed it sadly.
Digimon and Pokémon were my everything when they were both out. I could never favour one over the other, I can't wait for this on Switch. I hope it gets a Western release.
Pokémon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! were THE things when I was a kid. I loved the anime to bits; I've only fully seen the first four seasons, would love to see Savers as I missed most of that one (It moved networks), but admittedly didn't really care for Digimon Fusion as it seemed pretty derivative. I still need to track down Digimon Adventure Tri and watch all of those installments.
Game-wise, I haven't played a lot of them since they were usually on platforms that I didn't own. I have played both Digimon World DS and Digimon World: Dusk. They're pretty decent monster raising RPGs overall.
I have seen the dev diary. I really liked it and how it showed the Digimon going from TV show on Fox Kids and then on to silver screen. And the video games that I enjoyed on PS or Xbox or Nintendo. I really liked the video. I especially liked the goggle head cosplay from the visionary that took the helm to steer the project. It was cool! I'm glad Digimon is staying in our lives now.
