Xbox boss Phil Spencer was asked by one fan on Twitter for his thoughts on NX. He only had good things to say, and also managed to give Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the process.

Spencer’s tweet is as follows:

Spencer has always been pretty positive when it comes to Nintendo, so it’s nice to see that continue! You may recall that he praised the big N a couple of years ago for its developers and franchises.

This week’s issue of Jump provides another update on Dragon Ball: Fusions. We have news about another character, StreetPass support, and more.

First, Arale from Dr. Slump (manga from creator Akira Toriyama) makes an appearance in this game. As an example of her EX Fusion, she can fuse with Towa to become Towale.

Dragon Ball: Fusions seems to have a StreetPass function. If you obtain data from other players, it will automatically make fusions if the characters set have good compatibility.

There’s also some information about the battle system, though it’s still very bare-bones. Details include:

– There’s a triangle of type effectiveness
– Energy bullets have different types (perhaps pertaining to the above point)
– If you attack with an effective type, you can deal 1.5% more damage
– There is a Full-Throttle Attack where the combo is different (from normal attack)

Nintendo’s previously-announced 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be happening on June 29. Aside from that, the company has now determined that its FY 2016 First Quarter Earnings Release is scheduled for July 27. Note that a results briefing is not scheduled, which makes sense given next week’s meeting – it’d be redundant to hold a briefing next month as well.
