There are two really interesting new additions to Nintendo’s Japanese website: a Legend of Zelda portal and a Mario portal.

You can learn more about each series’ characters and games there. The Legend of Zelda portal is especially interesting since it also features behind-the-scenes info like artwork and production notes (though that section is a bit bare at the moment). There’s also a section that’s not available yet called “Keywords”, marked as “coming soon”. You will likely be able to find infos about recurring themes and names from the Legend of Zelda series there, like the Triforce or the Master Sword.

A new Pokemon-related trademark has been filed in Japan. Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and Game Freak nabbed the name “Pokedaringu”.

At the moment, we can’t say for sure if the trademark will actually be used, and what the final name could be overseas. It could be something along the lines of PokeDaring or PokeDulling.

Also worth noting, this isn’t actually confirmed to be a game. It could even be a merchandise line or even just an item in a game.
