My favorite game of the Cold Steel series after the disappointing CSII, the new class VII is refreshing and a fun cast.

Any chance of Kyoto Xanadu getting a release date during this direct? The whole publisher thing with this game is very strange.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

In a 2010 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the reason so many Mario enemies have repetitive names in Japanese (and by extension in English, e.g. Koopa Troopa, Cheep Cheep) is in honor of Takashi Tezuka, who calls himself "Ten Ten".

In honor of the upcoming retirement of Takashi Tezuka, director and producer of many Mario games, after 42 years at Nintendo:
"The reason so many names are repeated twice is because Tezuka-san refers to himself as "Ten Ten". It's a rather childish nickname, but I thought it was amusing (laughs). So I created this series of repeating names."
-Shigeru Miyamoto in a 2010 Nintendo Dream interview
DESIGNER. TEN TEN
Examples of Mario enemies with repeating names:
Nokonoko ノコノコ Koopa Troopa
Patapata パタパタ Koopa Paratroopa
Pukupuku プクプク Cheep Cheep
Basabasa バサバサ Swoop
Wanwan ワンワン Chain Chomp
Bunbun ブンブン Boom Boom
Takashi Tezuka called himself "Ten Ten" both in private and in early game credits (NES Legend of Zelda shown). Note that the enemy names are also preexisting Japanese onomatopoeia; it is specifically the decision to use those for their names that is in honor of Tezuka.
