We originally thought that Prima would release separate guides for the two new Smash Bros. games. That isn’t the case though, as one guide is being made for both titles.
The image above is the cover for the collector’s edition guide
, which comes with 304 pages. Here’s a look at the 288-page paperback version
:

Forbidden Magna, a strategy RPG for the 3DS released earlier this month in Japan and has not necessarily been well received by fans.
The new update will hopefully address many of the issues, mainly steaming from the battle system.
The three main features of the patch:
– Enemy Strength (allows you to choose between easy, normal, hard)
– Fast Forward (holding down R allows you to speed up events)
– Gallery (new option to revisit cut-scenes and events)
Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata had to take a leave of absence this summer due to a medical condition. In a medical checkup earlier this year, it was discovered that he had a tumor on his bile duct.
During his absence Iwata had the tumor removed and has now recovered well enough to resume his regular work duties.
In his first press appearance since his leave he commented to reporters – while giving the latest Nintendo financial results – Iwata said that he has lost weight but feels healthier.
