We don’t hear much about the Wii U Basic Set/Pack these days. That being said, it looks like Nintendo is still trying to offload some stock that never cleared out.

A Scandinavian listing has popped up for a new Wii U Basic Pack bundle, which comes with a physical copy of Splatoon. This is different than the recently-announced Premium Pack bundle.

Thanks to Andre P for the tip.

Little Orbit today announced Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends, a new game coming from developer Vicious Cycle. It’s heading to a number of platforms including Wii U and 3DS.

Here’s the official overview:

Developed by Vicious Cycle, Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends will bring fans a fresh and fist-pumping way to experience DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise with explosive, fast-as-lightning action! With a variety of challenging local and online multiplayer levels, familiar film locations and 20 playable fan-favorite Kung Fu Panda characters, the game will appeal to gamers who like their brawler games served up with a side of laughter.

Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends focuses on “an epic tournament where all warriors compete for glory.” Fans can expect “star popular characters from the first two Kung Fu Panda films” at launch. When Kung Fu Panda 3 hits theaters, the game will be updated with new film-specific content.

Little Orbit and Vicious Cycle are packing Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends with a number of modes in single-player and multiplayer. When playing alone, you can experience Tournament of Legends, Practice, and Tutorial modes. Multiplayer options feature VS., Team Play, and Tag-Team modes. There are also plans for both local and online play for multiplayer.

Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends launches this fall. Take a look at the first screenshots below.

During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.

Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Epic Mickey director Warren Spector held a Reddit AMA a few days back. Spector shared plenty of insight about the original game and its sequel, and tackled some very interesting questions. He was asked about topics like Epic Mickey’s dark concept art that never seemed to be realized, how he tried pitching a film based on the series to Disney, and the one thing about Mickey he couldn’t show.

You can find a full roundup of Spector’s comments below. They’re certainly worth checking out!
