J-Stars Victory VS: US Release is a Dream Come True
Bandai Namco Games recently announced that the fighting video game, J-Stars Victory VS, will receive an English release in the US and North America later this year. Although the dialogue will remain in Japanese, the game will be translated into English with subtitles, which is tremendous. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first ever video game in the Jump Superstars video game franchise to receive an English, US release. The game looks like it will be the perfect summer follow up to the release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse XV later this month and is a dream come true.
Amiibo Variants: Shrewd But Smart Business Move by Nintendo
Some news recently leaked online (via NeoGAF) regarding the potential upcoming release of possible variant editions for the Nintendo Amiibo line. Basically, some images and product certificates were leaked online for silver and gold editions of Mario Amiibo figurines for the Super Mario wave of Amiibo figures. This is the new wave of figures produced for the Mario Party 10 video game that is due out next month. The release plan or availability for the figures are unclear. It is unknown whether these will be store exclusives, limited edition chase figures or something else. The production of variant Amiibo such as this is a shrewd move on the part of Nintendo, and a smart one as well.

Hyrule Warriors Experiment Pays Off Well for Nintendo
Sometimes, when a developer takes an existing and beloved intellectual property and tries something new or different, there is potential to perturb and greatly upset longtime fans. Nintendo recently tried something a bit experimental for The Legend of Zelda franchise with Hyrule Warriors. Hyrule Warriors is a recent hack-and-slash action game, done in the style of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. The game is set in The Legend of Zelda world and features Zelda characters, but the gameplay is executed in Dynasty Warriors fashion. With the announcement that the game has shipped one million copies worldwide (via Famitsu), it appears Nintendo’s experiment with Hyrule Warriors paid off nicely. Now Nintendo has yet another hit to add to the accolades of the Wii U for 2015.
