The full lineup of deals can be found in the circular below:

Ubisoft says it is working on a ZombiU prototype. That’s according to creative director Jean-Philippe Caro, who contributed to the original Wii U game.

Caro tweeted over the weekend:

While a prototype may be in the works, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee a sequel. Prototypes can come and go, but unless the higher-ups at Ubisoft give the green light, it won’t enter development.

D3Publisher will be distributing a new title based on the Cartoon Network animated series Regular Show, GameFly has hinted. The retailer lists “Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land” for release on the 3DS later this year.

GameFly doesn’t include many details on its product page. As mentioned above, D3P is listed as published. GameFly also says that the game will launch on October 29.

In other news that some folks may (or may not) care about, GameFly lists Ben 10 Omniverse 2 for the Wii U and 3DS. The game hasn’t been announced yet, but GameFly lists a November 5 release date.

Insomniac CEO and founder Ted Price recently said that he considers the Wii U to be more of a current-gen console. That doesn’t mean that he and his studio have no interest in the console, however.

In fact, Price himself is a fan of the Wii U, and believes high-quality Nintendo games will give a much-needed boost to the system:

“As a player what I would love to see is more of those games that I grew up with. Zeldas, Marios, Metroid – those are the games I look for from Nintendo, and I hope more of them come out for the Wii U.”

As many of you know, Take-Two Interactive secured the WWE licence from THQ a couple of months back. The company has been far from a big Wii U supporter having put out just one title for the console – NBA 2K13 – through its 2K Sports subsidiary. Although we’ve seen WWE titles on Nintendo platforms since the launch of SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, it would appear that there are no plans to bring the latest entry, WWE 2K14, to the Wii U and Wii. If anything, a release on Nintendo platforms is certainly looking unlikely at the moment.

Take-Two’s latest financial results make no mention of WWE 2K14 for any Nintendo system – only the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are listed. Retailers such as Amazon also make no mention of a Wii U/Wii version.

Take-Two/2K Sports haven’t made any announcements, so we won’t know for sure until something official is shared. Still, this is worrisome at the moment.
