Hiromasa Iwasaki on the extreme similarities between the NES Lode Runner & SMB Mario walk cycles: "[Lode Runner] dotter Takebe-san copi—uh, referenced Mario's walk cycle; it seems he pulled the sprites from the ROM & redrew them, so it's no wonder they share all the same poses😂"
Takebe's account can be read in full in Iwasaki's recent book Hudson Densetsu, which contains behind-the-scenes info and testimony from the developers behind dozens of Hudson's self-published, externally-published & outsourced Famicom output beep-shop.com/ec/products/de…🇯🇵
...or right here, if that's all you're interested in

Granzella's Kazuma Kujo talks R-Type Final 2 gamespark.jp/article/2021/0…🇯🇵 this is a long one, so forgive me for skipping over stuff
Final 2 was made with a different motivation than Delta or Final: for Delta, the brand was still fairly big and they spent a lot of time pondering how to proceed—whether or not to adopt 3D graphics, arcade-style vs. console-style design, etc—and for Final 2, they felt like...
...they were making a swansong not just to Irem's STG but to the genre, so they felt like they had to throw in everything they could, but for Final 2, they didn't feel that same sort of pressure to shock people or catch them off guard, so they could proceed more naturally

the page also specifies that the JP physical version's English support only pertains to the menus, not the in-game dialogue and what have you—they've clearly paid attention to the importers' reactions to Cotton Reboot

dengeki spoke to Puyo Puyo producer Hosoyamada & Puyo Quest planner "Harigane Skeleton" about Puyo Quest's 8th anniversary dengekionline.com/articles/77080/🇯🇵 they're teasing "Super Puyo Quest Project", the 2nd of their two Puyo Puyo 30th projects, as something beyond anything seen before
as for why they're doing the Precure crossover now, apparently it's just something people had been requesting

Hosoyamada also acknowledged the overseas demand for the Arle/Carbuncle nendoroid

one other tidbit: they've apparently sold over 10 million Puyo Puyo gummies
oh and in case it needs restating, Hosoyamada's fairly straight about how we probably wouldn't have gotten Puyotet, Chronicle, the eSports initiative, etc if not for the sustained success of Quest
