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.

There’s also news about Guitar Hero Live’s second music festival: Rock the Block. Activision shared the following information:

Rock the Block is set in the US and takes place in the heart of an imagined city landscape in the game. With its origins in a number of smaller festivals that used to take place in and around Boulder City, Rock the Block is a spontaneously evolving event that encourages attendees and passers-by to be drawn into the festival experience. Rock the Block joins SoundDial, the previously announced UK-based festival, as the two fictional settings a player will visit in Guitar Hero Live. Within the two festivals fans will play a variety of stages, ranging from small club stages, to headlining massive, open air mainstages.

Just Dance 2016 is seeing a double dose of reveals at Gamescom 2015.

First, Ubisoft announced a new lip-syncing-focused mode known as “Showtime”. Here’s how it works:

The new Showtime mode will allow players to unleash their inner star by creating unique music videos of themselves performing. Players lip-sync and perform along to hit songs in the game and the video footage is then turned into a fun shareable music video. The music videos pull in both creative visual elements and pop cultural references— each song will have a distinctive and visually original atmosphere. A Wii U Gamepad is required to play this mode.

We also have several new tracks that are now confirmed for the game:

• “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea Ft. Charli XCX
• “Fun” by Pitbull Ft. Chris Brown
• “Lights” by Ellie Goulding
• “I’m An Albatraoz” by AronChupa
• “Circus” by Britney Spears
• “Balkan Blast Remix” from Angry Birds
• “Stuck On A Feeling” by Prince Royce
• “Boys (Summertime Love)” by The Lemon Cubes
• “Rabiosa” by Shakira Ft. El Cata

Just Dance 2016 will be released on October 20 in North America and October 23 in Europe.
