Orange is the New Black: Season 3 Review
New Miiverse and Classic Dreamland Stages Available for Super Smash Bros.
New Classic Dreamland and Miiverse stages are now available to download for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U,
Dreamland is based on the first Dreamland stage from the original Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64. It is available for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U for $1.99, or $2.99 for both game versions.
The free Miiverse stage features Miiverse posts created by players. "During matches while connected to the Internet, players will see Miiverse posts appear that cheer specific fighters on from the background," according to a press release. "These messages will be pulled from individual Miiverse communities that just opened for each Super Smash Bros. character."
Tourney Update Coming to Super Smash Bros. for Free
Tourney mode is finally coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as a free update this August. Tourneys come in two flavors: Community Tourneys, and Tourneys.
"Community Tourneys let players compete for the highest points in a certain amount of time," Nintendo explained, "while regular Tourneys have a specific set of rules and only happen at select times."
Perhaps this will factor into this year's (or future years') Nintendo World Championship.
Earlier today, Nintendo unveiled YouTube replay uploads, and revealed that every Super Smash Bros. character would get an Amiibo figurine, in addition to Lucas, Ryu, and Roy joining the roster today for various prices.

The new set of eight Mii Fighter costumes now available for Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U for $6, both game versions together for $9.20, purchased individually for $0.75, or both game versions together for $1.15 each.
YouTube Replay Uploads Coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Every Smash Bros. Character Will Have an Amiibo
Nintendo announced during a pre-E3 Direct presentation today that every single character in Super Smash Bros. will have their own amiibo figurine. This includes Ryu, Roy, Lucas, Duck Hunt, and any unannounced add-on characters to come.
Check out some new images of these new Amiibo coming soon: ROB, Duck Hunt, Game & Watch, and the Mii Fighter Amiibo will launch on September 25. Game & Watch will even come with multiple poses.
Roy, Ryu, Lucas Characters Launch for Smash Bros. Today
Fire Emblem's Roy and Street Fighter's Ryu are indeed coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Nintendo announced today. An earlier leak gave us an advance look at Roy and Ryu, but it's official today.
Roy will release at the same time as Lucas from Mother 3. Each character costs $4 on individual platforms, or you can pay $5 for Roy or Lucas for access to your selected hero on both 3DS and Wii U. Suzaku Castle from Street Fighter -- Ryu's Street Fighter II stage -- is coming to Smash, along with a Ryu and Ken Trophy within the game. Ryu and his stage will cost $6 on either Wii U or 3DS, or for both platforms for $7.

This Is a Halo-Themed Ford F-150
To celebrate the upcoming release of Halo 5: Guardians, Ford has revealed a custom F-150, officially dubbed the Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat.
This custom vehicle features several unique modifications to Ford's iconic truck, including a Warthog-inspired paint design. The truck also comes packed with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, as well as custom Fox Racing shocks, Deaver leaf springs, and off-road tires.
Twitter Expanding DM Limit to 10,000 Characters
Twitter has announced it will be expanding the character limit for direct messages from 140 to 10,000.
"We’ve done a lot to improve Direct Messages over the past year and have much more exciting work on the horizon," the company explained in its official announcement. "One change coming in July that we want to make you aware of now (and first!) is the removal of the 140 character limit in Direct Messages."
While there's no specific date on when the change will take effect, a July launch window was provided. It's also worth noting that this won't affect the currently 140 character limit on actual Tweets, as those will remain unchanged.
