Update: The pre-load option has now been been pulled in North America. Not too surprising!


Last night, we reported that Paper Mario: Color Splash can now be pre-loaded in North America from the Wii U eShop. Nintendo has done this with plenty of the games in the past across both Wii U and 3DS. However, with Color Splash, a major error has been made.

We’re hearing that those who pre-load Paper Mario: Color Splash actually have access to the entire game right now. Obviously, that isn’t supposed to happen as it doesn’t launch until October 7. Those who take advantage of pre-loading usually need to apply a brief update on launch day before they can begin to play.

We’ll let you know if we receive any further updates about the situation.

If you have a North American Wii U console, Paper Mario: Color Splash can now be pre-loaded from the eShop. Nintendo is letting users buy the game and download most of its data ahead of time. When Paper Mario: Color Splash arrives on October 7, only a small update will be needed to begin playing.

I’m wary of eShop listings since then turn out to be a bit inaccurate, but it’s estimated that Paper Mario: Color Splash takes up around 9GB. We also have some screenshots from the listing below.

The final two episodes from the Paper Mario: Color Splash “Rescue V” video series weren’t supposed to go up until the next couple of weeks, but Nintendo of Australia seems to have jumped the gun a bit earlier than expected. Both may be eventually removed, but for now, you can watch them below.

Ahead of launch next month, Nintendo opened the teaser site for Paper Mario: Color Splash. You can visit it here. For now the page has a couple of videos, some screenshots, and a bit of information, but the full-blown site should eventually offer much more.
