VIZ Media made it known yesterday that the company is localizing the Zelda: Twilight Princess manga. Just as we learned from an Otakon panel, the first volume will be made available in English next March. As for the rest of the world? Fortunately, there are plans to have the manga in other languages as well.
Tokyopop will be handling the German version of the Zelda: Twilight Princess manga, and it’ll actually be coming out very soon. The first volume is due out on November 17 for €6.50. Plans are also in place for Spanish and French editions.
Thanks to Tokyopop, we also now know how long the manga will run for. The publisher confirmed that a total of four volumes will be released.
Lastly, Tokyopop will also be bringing out The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition based on Ocarina of Time on November 17. North America will have it on November 1.
Thanks to GameFly, we now have the boxart for River City: Tokyo Rumble. You can see what it looks like above.

Collateral Thinking was originally supposed to end up on the North American Wii U eShop this week. That didn’t happen though, with developer Astrosaurus Games telling us that a “few paperwork hiccups” prompted a short delay.
Collateral Thinking will now be released in North America next Thursday. It’s the same day as the PAL launch, so all territories will be receiving it at the same time.
If you want to give Collateral Thinking a try ahead of time, head on over here for a PC demo.
Implementing the day/night cycle in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been “extremely hard,” series producer Eiji Aonuma has said. Part of the challenge has been avoiding a situation where players would encounter “something that was dark and scary.”
Previous Zelda titles have offered day-night cycles of their own. But Breath of the Wild is taking it much further as it directly affects the gameplay. For instance, players will find that enemies sleep at night, and the temperature can drop which has an impact on Link.
Aonuma told EDGE magazine this month about the day/night cycle:
Mastiff and Falcom’s action-adventure game Gurumin has been highly regarded over the years. The two sides are now teaming up once more to bring Nintendo fans the experience. Later this summer, Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure will be hitting the 3DS eShop.
We reached out to Mastiff to learn more about this new version of Gurumin. Bill Swartz, president and CEO, chatted with us about why the company is returning to the game on 3DS, the challenges of implementing stereoscopic 3D support, improvements, if a Wii U/NX version could actually happen, the possibility of a physical version, and more.
