Amazon France recently put up an entry on its website for ZombiU 2. Shortly after Jeuxvideo forum members spotted the listing, it was removed.
ZombiU 2 is rumored to be set in New York. Strangely enough, Bandai Namco is listed as publisher – not Ubisoft. Amazon also includes an October 17, 2015 release date, though that’s likely not final.
Of course, there is most certainly a possibility that Amazon France’s overall listing is inaccurate. The fact that Bandai Namco is listed as publisher raises a red flag. I suppose only time will tell!
Today, Image & Form announced that Steam Powered Giraffe is working on the soundtrack for SteamWorld Heist. The San Diego-based band will create all songs and in-game music.
Additionally, Steam Powered Giraffe will be featured in the game as a troupe that Captain Piper and her crew encounter in bars while recruiting fighters. Image & Form’s announcement also confirms that players will be able to collect sheet music containing Steam Powered Giraffe songs which can be played on a jukebox in Captain Piper’s ship.
SteamWorld Heist will be available in spring 2015. Above you’ll find a music video for “Prepare for Boarding”, the first song from SteamWorld Heist.

Highlighting the best soundtracks on the Nintendo DS might just be my favourite entry in our month-long series of DS-related articles. Not because it’s easy to write about soundtracks after dropping music class in high school, but because it turned me on to all the best music on the console. Shout-outs are in order to whoever put down the DS game adaptation of the animated movie Robots, which is the only thing more forgettable than the movie itself. The soundtrack, however, happens to be this amazing synth pop score, which turned out to be composed by the developer of Escape Goat! Well anyway, Robots didn’t come remotely close to making the list, but here are the DS soundtracks that did:
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which launched in North America last Friday, has already sold 490,000 units between physical and digital sales, Nintendo has announced. That number accounts for sales between November 21 and November 23.
Thanks to the success of Super Smash Bros., it’s now the fastest-selling Wii U game ever in the U.S. Mario Kart 8 previously held this record.
Nintendo has also confirmed that more than 14 million Super Smash Bros. games have been sold in the U.S. alone.
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, said of today’s news:
“The Nintendo holiday is off to a great start, but there’s a lot of work left to do and a few more surprises in store for our fans. With great deals coming on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and great content like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker launching next week, Nintendo will offer shoppers the best combination of fun and value this holiday season.”

The director for Xenoblade Chronicles X, Tetsuya Takahashi took to twitter again to share brief bit of information about the upcoming title.
In his tweets he revealed that the main script writer for Xenoblade Chronicles X is Yuchiro Takeda, whom you might remember as the script writer for Xenoblade Chronicles. The pair have also worked together in the past on the anime adaptation of Xenosaga.
The main topic of his tweets were about the story, below is a translation of one of those tweets:
“After the ‘basic’ fantasy story for [Xenoblade], we’re having him write a deep sci-fi story this time around,”
Takahashi went on to reiterate that composer Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan) is in charge of sound, and that Kunihiko Tanaka (Xenogears, Xenosaga, Xenoblade) is in charge of character design.
Takahashi also stated:
“I’ve known Mr. Tanaka for a long time, but this time I asked for his cooperation to bring out the Xeno-ness in the art.”
Xenoblade Chronicles X will be released for Wii U in Japan in Spring 2015, North America and Europe can expect a 2015 release as well.
