Nintendo has picked up a few new trademarks in Japan. Let’s take a look:

• U
• Tomodachi Collection: New Life
• Nymphia
• Mario & Luigi Dream Adventure
• Mario and Donkey Kong Minis on the Move
• Splash or Crash
• Pokemon Scramble
• Nintendo Web Framework

One particular trademark is “Nintendo Web Framework”. It’s some kind of behind-the-scenes technical item that we haven’t heard much about. Nintendo of America’s Ryan Lynd will be talking about the Nintendo Web Framework at GDC tomorrow.

– 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)
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning – $19.99 (temporarily out of stock, can still place an order)
Assassin’s Creed III – $29.99
