This week’s issue of Famitsu shares an update on Hyrule Warriors Legends. For the first time since E3, we have concrete information about the title.

Famitsu confirms that Toon Link will be playable in Hyrule Warriors Legends, but there’s a catch. The character won’t be available in Legend Mode, but he will be available in other modes. Of course, Toon Link can be moved over to the Wii U version as well.

Famitsu also reconfirms that Tetra and King of Hyrule for the game. Helmaroc King will appear in some form, too.

In October, a special Super Mario Bros. screen painting will go on display in Kyoto. It comes in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary, as well as the 400th anniversary of the Rimpa school.

Mario is represented as “Raijin” (Japanese god of thunder and storms) in the piece while Luigi is shown as “Fujin” (Japanese god of wind). These two tend to be paired in Japanese art, much like Nintendo’s famous brothers.

The painting itself is created in Rimpa style. For a look at its creation, check out the official Nintendo video below.

Later this month, SEGA will be wrapping up its next batch of 3D Classics. 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will officially conclude the second series. However, there is a possibility that more games could be coming, or were at least considered at one point.

Found within the RAM of 3D Gunstar Heroes are titles such as Sonic Spinball, Comix Zone, and Puyo Puyo 2. It remains to be seen though what sort of plans there are for the future – if any.
