Nintendo has updated the European Fire Emblem Fates website with a scheduled for the next wave of DLC. It all begins on July 21, with four pieces of content planned. Another three pieces will be made available one week later.
Here’s the full schedule:
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:
@Commander_Keel When @Nintendo launches a new console it's an exciting time for the industry. And Zelda looked good at E3.
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) June 22, 2016
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.
Bandai Namco has shown the boxart for Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle!, pictured above. We also have some screenshots below.
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.

Earlier today we reported on the upcoming new DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors Legends. We now have some more concrete info thanks to a translation of the game’s official website by Perfectly Nintendo.
Marin is the big new feature of this DLC pack, being a brand new character. She fights using the Sea Lily’s Bell from Link’s Awakening, which she uses to create shockwaves. She can also summon the Windfish as part of her special attack.
As was previously announced, fan favorite Linkle gets a new weapon, being the Pegasus Boots. They have the lightning attribute and allow Linkle to pummel enemies with a flurry of kicks. She will also get help from her loyal cuccos when using this weapon.
This DLC also features a new Adventure mode map, unsurprisingly based on Koholint Island from Link’s Awakening. Besides the expected (all weapon ranks for Marin’s bell and Linkle’s boots, new My Fairy costumes, Skulltulas and Heart Pieces) this map will also feature Rank 4+ weapons for the other characters. It’s currently not know if these are new designs (unlikely) or if they will be more powerful – they will, however, have two elemental attributes instead of one.
16 new costumes each for the characters and for My Fairy will also be included
Other than some minor bug fixes and additions of new medals and such, an updated that will be released (for free) alongside the DLC pack will also raise the level cap of all characters.
