Capcom has announced that Mega Man Legacy Collection is scheduled for early 2016 on 3DS. Also during this period, a physical version will be made available.

Pricing for the digital release appears to be set at $14.99 / €14.99 / £11.99. The retail version will cost $29.99.

As a reminder, here’s what’s offered in Mega Man Legacy Collection:

This collection celebrates a piece of video game history by not only featuring the series’ origins with all six of the 8-bit classics, it also collects hundreds of high-resolution scans of vintage concept sketches, production art, unused Robot Master designs, a database of enemy information, a robust Challenge Mode full of remixed gameplay sections, plus a music player with all the games’ soundtracks—more than 100 songs!

Challenge Mode remixes gameplay segments from all six games, with plenty of scaling difficulty objectives for experienced players to conquer yet serves as a good starting point for new players, too. All six of the classic games will retain their retro 8-bit style with a newly added HD finish, giving all of the original sprites the crispest look fans have ever seen.

New screenshots and art from Mega Man Legacy Collection are in the gallery below.

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.
