It’s been a very long time since Oddworld Inhabitants and Just Add Water made their plans known about Wii U. As you may remember, the two companies originally hoped to bring Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD and Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty to the eShop.

We found out earlier today that New ‘N’ Tasty is still on track for Wii U. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of Stranger’s Wrath HD.

Oddworld Inhabitants told one fan on Twitter today that there are “no current plans” to bring Stranger’s Wrath HD to Wii U. The studio did at least say that the status could change in the future.

“New” is often a word that Nintendo uses in game titles. Have you ever wondered by this is so? During the latest Part-Time Gamers podcast, Chris Pranger from Nintendo Treehouse explained its heavy usage.

“In Japanese, ‘new’ is exotic and sounds cool,” he said. “That is the exact reason why ‘new’ is on so many titles.”

Pranger went on to say that, on numerous occasions, they’ve told the developers that “new” doesn’t bring about the same sense excitement as it does in Japan. But these game creators feel that it isn’t an issue so long as the the word isn’t offensive or confusing.

Nintendo recently created functionality on its European website that allows users to log in with their Nintendo Network ID.

One of the first steps is to link your Nintendo Network ID to your Club Nintendo account. In doing so, you’ll be awarded with 750 stars. Logging into the site with your Nintendo Network ID also means you’ll be logged into Club Nintendo (and vise versa).

You can give the new feature a try on Nintendo of Europe’s site here.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead series could have a chance of landing on Wii U. UK retailer GAME has listed “The Walking Dead Combo Pack” – a package that would include Season 1 and 2.

If GAME’s listing is accurate, The Walking Dead Combo Pack will be available on October 30. I’d take the listing with a grain of salt though – this is far from confirmed.

Good news, Splatoon players. Nintendo confirmed on its Twitter account just moments ago that the Squid Girl outfit will be released in North America (and presumably Europe).

The message is simple, though it definitely gets the point across! Many of you have been asking about this, so it’s nice to finally have confirmation.
