Lots of extra goodies will come in this box set.

The games will consist of two core games and five casual titles. We currently know of eight Ubisoft titles for the system, listed below:

It's not shocking, but hey, you'll be dancing with the Wii U Controller or something.

Just Dance is coming to Wii U in the near future, according to Ubisoft's 2012 Earnings Presentation.

The company actually expects Just Dance sales to dip this year, but the hope is that series expansion to Wii U and different geographical areas, such as Ubisoft's work with Nintendo in bringing the series to Wii in Japan, will bring sales back up.

EX Troopers is a shooter that is curiously also coming to PlayStation 3.

EX Troopers, an anime-inspired "beginner's shooter" from Capcom, is coming to 3DS later this year in Japan, according to a Famitsu article.

The game is related to the Lost Planet series, and is being overseen by Shintaro Kojima, who previously worked on the Monster Hunter series. Kojima is hoping that this shooter will introduce players to the Lost Planet series courtesy of lighter gameplay and an accessible school setting.

Yet another Kirby title makes an appearance on Nintendo's downloadable platform.

Originally released in 1997 on the Game Boy, Kirby’s Star Stacker is a puzzle game where players must earn as many stars as possible by matching corresponding blocks.

There will be no Street Fighting or Resident Eviling on Wii U or 3DS this E3.

Capcom won't have any games for Nintendo's systems playable at E3 2012, a company representative told us earlier today.

Previously, there have been rumors of a new Resident Evil 3DS game and the localization of Monster Hunter Tri G being unveiled at E3. While this does confirm the games won't be playable, this announcement does not completely rule out the possibility of an announcement about either game at E3 2012.

There's no word on the full release yet, but you'll be able to try out the restaurant simulator in less than two weeks.

Order Up!! is getting a demo on the eShop on May 24, according to developer SuperVillain Studios.

However, SuperVillain Studios and publisher Ignition decided to release the game as a download-only release in North America. The date for the full release on the eShop is still unconfirmed, but it should be coming soon.

The developer of artistic games such as Sleep is Death has a new DS game on the way, with a little help from his friends.

A new DS game by independent developer Jason Rohrer has been approved by Nintendo, and has appeared on Kickstarter.com as a way of raising the manufacturing costs to produce retail cartridges. The game, which has been in development since 2010, was at one point to be published by Zoo Games. It seems as if that deal is now off, with Rohrer self-publishing the game.

Are you even surprised?

Lord of the Rings will be receiving a Lego-branded video game, as reported by MCV.

The website states that packaging materials found with the new Lord of the Rings Lego sets confirms the project.

If you like the colour but are without a 3DS you'd better get one soon.

Production of the Aqua Blue shade of the Nintendo 3DS is set to discontinue soon. The announcement was made via the Japanese Nintendo 3DS hardware page.

The colour was one of two that the system originally launched with around the world, the other colour being the Cosmo Black variation.

Aside from that, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Party 9, and the 3DS sold well in one of the worst gaming sales months in recent memory.

Xenoblade Chronicles, released exclusively through GameStop and Nintendo's website in early April, wasn't factored into this month's NPD sales because NPD does not release retailer-exclusive sales data. In general, due to very few major releases, the month of April was a slow sales month for the industry.
