Nintendo has announced the ARMS Japan Grand Prix 2017. The tournament will be held this fall, with local qualifiers held at four major cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. A champion will then be determined with a large tournament. More details will be shared through the official Twitter account later.

Nintendo held a tournament for Japanese ARMS players earlier today, and towards the end, producer Kosuke Yabuki appeared. It was reconfirmed that Max Brass will be delivered as a playable fighter, along with his stage. Yabuki also indicated that Nintendo will be adding another game mode, new Arms, and fixes based on gathered data from online battles. Yabuki noted that Nintendo is trying its best to release the update in the middle of July.

Here’s today’s tournament in its entirety for those who’d like to view it:

The Camera Rune in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is undoubtedly a useful feature. Players have used it to take all sorts of pictures and selfies with Link. With a new glitch though, the possibilities have expanded.

By following the steps below, you can move around freely while using the Camera Rune, ultimately allowing for infinite poses:

1. Hold Shield (ZL)
2. Camera + Crouch (L + LS)
3. Side Jump (Right + X)
*Hold ZL the whole process

YouTube user Mety333 shows off the glitch in the following video:

It’s true that you can take screenshots at any time on Switch. However, there are some angles and photos that you just can’t really take during normal gameplay, especially with the zoom function. And if nothing else, being able to play while the Camera Rune is going can lead to some interesting results.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild marked a monumental step for the series in terms of how Nintendo portrayed its characters. For the first time, the game featured voice acting. Among others, Zelda was given a voice.

Patricia Summersett played the role of Zelda in the English version of Breath of the Wild. With the game’s first DLC pack arriving yesterday, we felt this would be the perfect opportunity to speak with Ms. Summersett about her role in the game. Continue on below for our full discussion.

The first round of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC released today. Among the various features and items introduced is a new Tingle costume. If you approach the villagers in one of the game’s towns, they’ll almost be sent into a panic, and they’ll watch your every move.

You can see Link interacting with villagers in his new Tingle outfit below. Have to admit that it gave me a good chuckle.
