Fresh information about Dragon Ball: Project Fusion has appeared from this month’s issue of V Jump.

First up is the name of the fusion bracelet which allows anyone to merge: “Metamo Ring”. We also have a first look at Pandel, an EX-Fusion between Videl and Pan. Last but not least, by filling your “Maxi-Gauge” during battle, you can create a Maxi-Fusion that allows five characters to merge together.

Scans showing these new elements are in the gallery below.

It was recently reported that Tatsuya Minami stepped down as president of PlatinumGames last month. The company has now prepared its own statement about the situation, and was relayed by Polygon. It reads as follows:

As you may or may not know, this year is our 10th anniversary/ We feel this is the perfect opportunity to reform our internal structure in order to strengthen our position as a developer, and changes in personnel affairs are a natural part of that.

As previously mentioned, Kenichi Sato has taken over Minami’s role. He also has readied his own statement. He passed along the following words to Polygon:

I have recently assumed the position of President & CEO of our company, following the departure of Tatsuya Minami at the end of March 2016. With this, our board of executives now consists of myself, Seigo Tabira and Atsushi Inaba.

Please note that this change in staff structure in no way affects our dedication to our craft. I have utmost confidence that we will continue to create games to the same high standards that our partners and fans have come to expect from us.

Here’s something very interesting about the original Super Mario Bros. As it turns out, the manner in which Lakitu throws Spiny Eggs at players is unintentional. After many years, fans have discovered that he attacks with no horizontal movement due to a bug; it was instead supposed to be based on a few factors, like Lakitu’s speed and the player’s position.

The Cutting Room Floor explains:

The Spiny eggs are thrown by Lakitu in a simple way, with no horizontal movement whatsoever. However, this is not the intended behavior; it’s actually the result of a bug! The eggs are supposed to be thrown out relative to the player’s speed, Lakitu’s speed, the player’s position, and a pseudo-random value, as well as bounce off of any blocks or walls that they hit on the way down.

Here’s a comparison of the two versions of the Spiny Egg throwing for further clarification:
