REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s time to fight alongside more than a dozen recognizable characters from The Legend of Zelda series to save Hyrule from a menacing new force. It’s time to dive into a crossover unlike anything Nintendo has ever done before, combining the vast universe of The Legend of Zelda franchise with the breathless fast-paced action perfected by the Dynasty Warriors games. On Sept. 26, it’s time for Hyrule Warriors.

Launching exclusively for the Wii U console, Hyrule Warriors lets players unleash the full power of iconic characters like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, as they cut down legions of enemies on massive battlefields in familiar settings from The Legend of Zelda series like Hyrule Field, Death Mountain and Skyloft, as well as new locations created specifically for the game. The frenetic action of the Dynasty Warriors franchise blends beautifully with The Legend of Zelda series to create a unique hybrid that feels as seamless as it does bold.

Nintendo has announced a special national tournament for the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. in celebration of the game’s launch. On October 4, 15 GameStop stores around the country – including the Nintendo World store in New York – will host local tournaments featuring three rounds of four-player battles.

Participants will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis with no pre-registration required. Each local tournament will be comprised of 64 players. Participants can (but are not required to) bring their 3DS system and/or copy of Smash Bros.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has a substantial update on Final Fantasy Explorers. There’s some recap of previously announced information, but there’s quite a bit new as well.

There will be roughly twenty jobs in the game, including the Geomancer. This job uses the surrounding ground to attack enemies and features moves like Earthquake and Sinkhole. If an enemy falls into a sinkhole, it will be hit with the Stop status effect.

Doryuasu is an original summon in Final Fantasy Explorers. It attacks with tentacles and powerful magic spells such as Earthquake. Poison mist emits from its body into surroundings and as such can cause poison, paralysis, and darkness status effects.

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse will receive an update in the future to take advantage of the New 3DS, WayForward has revealed.

Speaking with Siliconera, director Matt Bozon said:

“We’re really excited about the New 3DS! We have an update for Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse already underway, which will add a ‘quick select’ control scheme, as well as other minor improvements to the game. Look for that to arrive closer to the launch of the New 3DS in the US.”

Bozon did not say what sort of “minor improvements” will be included. However, it’s already been confirmed that Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse will run at 60 frames per second on a regular 3DS with stereoscopic 3D turned on.
