Mario madness
The Wii U doesn't have many major retail games left in the locker, though one of those is getting quite close to release - Paper Mario: Color Splash.

The game was...

Review Paper Mario (Wii U eShop / N64)
Historical document
Can we take a moment to appreciate just how gloriously wacky it is that a game like Paper Mario exists in the first place?

Hey, Mario! We got a letter from Princess Peach!
