Sales of the Dynasty Warriors games have been in a bit of a decline. The series isn’t performing quite as well as it used to.

However, according to Koei Tecmo producer Akihiro Suzuki, spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors renewed interest in the franchise. Koei Tecmo must now satisfy players while keeping the series fresh, he said.

Suzuki told MCV:

Over the years we’ve seen a sales decline. The Dynasty Warriors series is targeted towards the core fans. But we’ve had a few collaborations recently that have given the franchise a second wind because they’ve brought in new fans that hadn’t given Dynasty Warriors a chance. So Hyrule Warriors gave the series some freshness. Now our task is to keep the new players happy now that they’ve had a chance to play. But overall with the franchise, we need to keep it fresh, both the Dynasty Warriors and the Samurai Warriors brands.

Starting on March 14, Nintendo will be hosting a series of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments at a number of gaming and toy store locations across Japan. Stores in Ichikawa (Chiba prefecture), Umeda (Osaka) and Moriya (Ibaraki) will be seeing the first round of tournaments.

It’s important to mention that these tournaments aren’t player-based. Instead, amiibo figures will be battling it out.

The prize for winning the tournament is none other than… a free amiibo. Nintendo is also providing a Super Smash Bros. A4-sized clear file for all participants.
