Splatoon has been a huge success, especially in Japan, and with that came the inevitable deluge of all kinds of merchandise – including a Splatoon-themed “candy kit” which allows you to make your own gummy candies in the shape of various Splatoon characters. Unless you live in Japan you won’t be able to eat these delicious (?) Inklinks themselves, so a video will have to do:

Paper Mario: Color Splash has a pretty neat digital manual
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 4 Comments
The days of physical manuals are all but gone, but Paper Mario: Color Splash makes up for it with a rather neat digital one that can be accessed from the main menu. The manual itself is stylish, but it also includes things like the staff credits and even commentary from the developers.
We have footage of the manual, though we’re putting it after the break to be on the safe side with spoilers. The last couple of minutes contains developer comments which gets into later parts of the game.

LEGO Dimensions is full of characters from dozens of movies, comic books, games and TV shows to the point where I’m sure plenty of us couldn’t name even half of them. Thankfully, someone has uploaded footage from LEGO Dimensions to YouTube, which shows off a line or two from every playable character in LEGO Dimensions.

Nielsen provides a look at the most anticipated games this holiday
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 13 Comments
Nielsen is continuing its annual tradition of providing a look at the most anticipated games of the holiday season. The company’s results are based on games scheduled between October and the end of the year.
On Wii U, Paper Mario: Color Splash is ranked highly, which makes sense as there’s not much else to look forward to. Pokemon Sun/Moon, Mario Party: Star Rush, and Disney Magical World 2 are the anticipated 3DS titles.
As for how Nielsen collects its data, the company says:
“Nielsen Game Rank represents the overall anticipation level among gamers on each platform, based on a combination of several key measures (including awareness, purchase interest, consumer rating and others). The percent value shown reflects how strong the overall anticipation level is for the title, relative to the pre-release anticipation levels of all previous titles that released on the platform(s). Values shown for multi-platform titles are averages of the values from each release platform. Titles included are those being released between Oct. 1, 2016 – Dec. 31, 2016, that have a Game Rank of 75% or higher. Data was collected by surveying 6,000 gamers age 7 to 54 between Aug. 21, 2016 – Sept. 24, 2016.”

[Review] Paper Mario: Color Splash
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Reviews, Wii U | 79 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: October 7, 2016
Developer: Intelligent Systems
Publisher Nintendo
To a certain degree, Paper Mario might just be the most popular spin-off series that the overall Mario franchise has spawned. What Paper Mario lacks in number of titles, it more than compensates with its fleshed out and devastatingly charismatic worlds – for the most part. Home to some of Nintendo fans’ favorite titles, it’s no understatement to say this collection of games might just be one of the best the big N continues to put out, which is why it so confusing they haven’t been treating it that way. With a more than all over the place prequel on 3DS, Color Splash brings this series back to the home console, and hopes to right the wrongs Sticker Star caused. Now, despite looking, feeling, and sounding just like Sticker Star 2, rest easy, because Paper Mario: Color Splash is anything but.
