Thanks to a leak from V Jump, we found out yesterday that Bandai Namco is developing Dragon Ball: Project Fusion for 3DS. Anime News Network reports that the title “will have unlimited possibilities”. A line in the magazine also states: “The emergency plan starts now. You will create your own Fusion Warrior!”

A manga adaptation based on Dragon Ball: Project Fusion is debuting in Shueisha’s Saiky? Jump magazine this year. Fans can also participate in a contest where they send in character designs that combine two Dragon Ball characters as if they had performed fusion. The winner will appear in the game.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD appears to be in this week’s Famitsu once again. While last week’s article was only a recap of the game as a whole, the latest issue touches on some new features. Leaks stemming from Famitsu talk about amiibo functionality.

Using the Wolf Link amiibo at a certain place will allow you to play “Thorough Battle: Trial of the Beast” (perhaps this is the Twilight Cave we heard about last week). If you clear this while owning the “Giant Wallet”, you’ll earn the “Bottomless Wallet”. This lets you hold up to 9,999 Rupees, compared to Giant Wallet’s maximum of 1,000. The leak also mentions something about how Link’s health inside normal dungeons can be recovered by the amount of hearts you preserved in the exclusive dungeon (which I assume is this one).

The upcoming release of the first generation of Pokemon games on the 3DS Virtual Console is highly anticipated by tons of people. The Japanese digital manual for these games is now online and has revealed some interesting tidbits about these versions.

Interestingly, Pokemon Red, Blue, Green (Japan-only) and Yellow don’t support the Virtual Console’s “restore points” feature. In case you didn’t know, this feature lets you create a save point at any time and load it whenever you wish, regardless of any in-game save features or restrictions. This is a pretty convenient feature since saving your game is usually fairly restrictive in older games. One can only speculate why this feature won’t be available in the Pokemon games, however it seems likely that it is in place to essentially prevent the cloning of Pokemon. When you trade Pokemon the game automatically saves to prevent any shenanigans – with restore points, this could’ve easily been circumvented.
