Bundles for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D are making their way to Europe on June 26th, Nintendo UK just revealed via their Twitter account.

Not only do the bundles come with corresponding faceplates for each of their respective games, but they also have a special home menu theme included as well!

Note that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire come pre-installed while Xenoblade Chronicles 3D comes with a physical copy of the game, presumably due to the large size of the game.

Myst, a classic graphic adventure video game from 1993, is getting a new TV show. Deadline reports that Legendary Television has landed the rights to the drama series, and Hulu will apparently host it on its streaming service. The Amazing Spider-Man producer Matt Tolmach and writer Evan Daugherty are leading the way on this project.

Deadline states that the new drama series “will explore the origins of the island of Myst from the game where a man wakes up on a mystery island with absolutely no idea who he is, where is, or how he got there.” Details beyond this are unknown.

Playtonic’s new 3D platformer is called “Yooka-Laylee”. As it turns out, those are also the names of the game’s lead characters. Yooka is the chameleon while Laylee is the bat.

So how’d Playtonic come up with those names anyway? In a new website interview, artist Greg Mayles explained:

It was planned like this from the start. Yes, that’s right. It wasn’t just a happy coincidence that ‘Ukulele’ splits so well into two character names, honest.

Actually, someone on the team picked up a Hawaiian dictionary and apparently ‘’uku’ means ‘a small brained person’ and ‘lele’ means ‘to fly’ or, excitingly, ‘to get off of a vehicle’. That’s definitely not a coincidence either.

Yooka-Laylee came to Kickstarter last week, and quickly surpassed its $270,000 funding goal. Over $2.1 million has been raised thus far.

Adventures of Pip won’t be launching this month as originally expected. In a new Kickstarter update, developer TicToc Games confirmed that the game has been delayed to June.

We are sad to announce that Adventures of Pip’s release date for both Steam and the WiiU (NA) has been pushed back to June 2015. We’re finalizing the build and locking in a new release date before making any future announcements. We will continue to update you guys on any news regarding any release date announcements across all platforms.

We apologize for the date change so late in the game, but never fear, Pip will be coming to your favorite platform soon!

Adventures of Pip was last scheduled for May 14. We should be hearing about a new release date fairly soon.
