We have a couple of file sizes for Wii U eShop games that hit the North American Wii U eShop this week. Vector Assault requires 176 MB of space, and weighs in at 148 MB when actually installed. Shapes of Gray is 137.5 MB to download, and is 120 MB once installed.
Old Moon Games has uploaded a 22-minute gameplay video for Ghost Song. Check it out below.
The latest issue of Jump has revealed two new assist characters for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. Dr. Wheelo and Jackie Chun will both be included, the magazine confirms.
Dr. Wheelo is the antagonist of the Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest film, and is a scientist with a cyborg body who experiments in biotechnology. Jackie Chun, meanwhile, is Master Roshi’s alternate identity used to enter a tournament and disguise himself from his students.
In Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, assist characters come in the form of Bulma’s inventions from Capsule and Chichi’s fury. The latter feature fills the screen with a giant speech balloon of her venting.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Update: (5/22/15) Bumped to the top. Here’s a look at the packaging:
HORI’s Splatoon GamePad protector was revealed a few weeks back. We had only heard about it as a European product at the time, but we can now safely say that the accessory will be sold in North America as well.
Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the Nintendo-licensed Splatoon GamePad protector. Based on the listing, it will be sold starting on July 13. You can reserve it here.
As it turns out, Splatoon features a few small (but neat) Mario and Zelda references. Get a look at them in the video below.
Yesterday we posted a few scan translations of Famitsu’s latest Fire Emblem If coverage. Once again, kantopia has done something similar. You’ll find character profiles as gameplay information from Dengeki’s new issue.
Nintendo of France added a launch trailer for Splatoon to its YouTube account earlier today. Check it out below.
Nintendo prepared one more trailer for the North American launch of Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. You can check out an accolades video below.
