The Cat Mario Show debuts on the European eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
A few months ago, Nintendo kicked off a Japanese YouTube video series known as “Nyannyan Neko Mario Time”. It sounds like this has now headed west, based on a new announcement made today.
The first episode of “The Cat Mario Show” is out now on the European eShop. It can be viewed on the Wii U, 3DS, and 2DS.
Here’s an overview of the first video:
The bite-sized presentation delivers a puppet show hosted by Cat Mario and Cat Peach and is peppered with fun facts, tips and quizzes for Nintendo’s youngest fans. In the first video, the two hand-puppet hosts reveal insider secrets on becoming a Mario Expert and challenge kids to spot the hidden Luigi in SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD, while the show also delivers some top tips on becoming super powerful in the Kirby Fighters battle mode of Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
I don’t personally have access to any European Nintendo systems, so I can’t be sure that The Cat Mario Show and Nyannyan Neko Mario Time are one in the same. Still, the two sound pretty similar!
