– Changed from Killer Freaks because aliens were too fast to use the Gamepad effectively
– Using the Gamepad requires a slower-paced game that lets you look away from the TV occasionally
– The question of how gamers could attach to the story with a perma-death mechanic was a tough hurdle to overcome
– That issue resolved itself, however, because the gameplay told a story that players could get attached to naturally
– Dialogue wasn’t needed to tell this story because it arose out of the player’s individual actions with survivors they got attached to
– Players are meant to be the various survivors, so when the Prepper says the last survivor he knew was sloppy or ineffective, he’s really judging the player

There’s more than one Warp Pipe reference in Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. The game contains a total of three, each of which houses a “secret garage”. All locations can be found in the map above.

Drive on top of a pipe and press down on the left stick to access a garage. You’ll find one unique car inside each:

• Red and Blue Ariel Atom: Representing Mario
• Pink Caterham: Representing Princess Peach
• Green BAC Mono: Representing Yoshi

The cars listed above can only be used in single-player mode, and it is not possible to customize the paint of the cars. Polygon also confirms that handling, mods and milestone are the same as the non-themed versions of each car.

Update: Harvest Moon deal is gone.

A few of the Ace Attorney games have apparently been re-printed. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney are all in stock on Amazon for $20. Justice for All is missing, unfortunately – it’s my personal favorite!

Amazon is also running a few discounts on Nintendo games. These include:

Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS) – $19.99 (temporarily out of stock, can still place an order)

Wii U console sales may be slumping a bit, but Ubisoft – one of the system’s biggest supporters – doesn’t seem to be worried about the performance of its own software. Relative to the Wii U’s install base, Ubisoft France head Xavier Poix said that the company is not disappointed.

The next big Wii U game from Ubisoft will be Rayman Legends, which is due out in September. It may not be an exclusive any longer, but Poix and Ubisoft as a whole “expect Rayman to be a huge system seller on the console.”

“We don’t have any disappointments compared to the installed base. We are just hoping that Nintendo’s results for Wii U will be a bit bigger, like Iwata-san said. Selling a new way of playing can take some time, and we know the power of the brands from Nintendo and we know from the fans that the majority of what will be the system sellers are not yet available. And on our side, Rayman will be one of them for sure. We really expect Rayman to be a huge system seller on the console.”
