As we mentioned yesterday, Nintendo is now 127 years old. BBC is pulling something out of its archives in celebration.
In 1990, the Money Programme visited Nintendo in Japan, and it was apparently one of the first times that cameras were let inside. A good portion of the brief video also shows a young Shigeru Miyamoto, and has him speaking about why be enjoys working at the company.
Here’s the full video:

Paper Mario: Color Splash pre-load accidentally lets Wii U owners play the entire game early
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 19 Comments
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.

Paper Mario: Color Splash pre-load live in North America
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
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.
