Siliconera has translated a number of details pertaining to the characters Lugner and Mariel in Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei. You’ll find the information rounded up below.

Lugner Menteur (CV:Ei Mochizuki)

– Commander-in-chief that leads the army of the Brightness faction
– Bishop of the Goddess Luciris’ teachings
– His beautiful looks are uncommon
– They say that there’s more to him than just his good looks
– His father was a craftsman
– Lugner’s father was also a drunkard
– This had a huge effect on Lugner’s early life
– He hides such a past with bright smiles, but behind that is a more serious and dark reality that not many know
– He uses his excellent negotiation skills and his keen senses as his weapon
– Put in effort to rise to the top as a bishop, but still remains ambitious

Mariel Sarlus (CV: Ayano Yamamoto):

– Priestess of Brightness
– Supports Jessica
– Gentle lady who is always happy and smiling
– Of noble origins
– Knows her way through battle
– Lives a bit of a laidback lifestyle during her off-time
– When she speaks with others, she’s full of affection, but even when she understands what they’re trying to say, she’ll still make an attempt to make small arguments, just for the sake of it
– A gentle character and means no harm

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash will contain a number of controller options. It will be possible to use the GamePad, Pro Controller, or Wii Remote.

When it comes to the Wii Remote, Game Informer reports that players hold the controller sideways. There are no motion controls in other words. Leaving motion controls out feels slightly strange to me, but it is what it is!

Siliconera recently asked Koji Igarashi if there are any plans to work with Deep Silver on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. For those who are unaware, Inti Creates is making Mighty No. 9 as well as Bloodstained, and Deep Silver is handling publishing for the former title.

Here’s how Igarashi responded:

While this is not official, but…it may as well be, as the [person] who is putting the most money into Bloodstained, it’s up to them when they want to announce their participation. I’m just going to say that I’m not officially saying ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ but I do want to say that the backend investment is what allowed me to make the game. I am 100% appreciative of them having faith in me. I hope everyone feels the same way, because without them, I never would have been able to get this far.

We literally went everywhere we could beforehand. First and foremost, I feel an incredible degree of appreciation [toward this publisher]. As for the actual relationship and how that’s going to work out, that’s something that will be from here on out. Any time an independent creator can get to keep their IP…

Ben Judd, who is a part of the Bloodstained team, added: “I almost felt defeated as an agent, but then we finally found a partner and we couldn’t have asked for a better one.” He also said that “it becomes a great collaborative relationship.”

The first North American Slatfest for Splatoon was set to take place this weekend. Unfortunately, Nintendo has now announced that it has been postponed.

Writing on Twitter, Nintendo explained that a matchmaking issue was found with the first Japanese Splatfest, which caused long wait times. The company wants to resolve it before going live with the North American Splatfest.

A new date for the North American Splatfest hasn’t been revealed. However, information is promised “soon.”
