Warner Bros. has come out with a bunch of videos for LEGO Dimensions that specifically put the spotlight on the latest content heading to LEGO Dimensions tomorrow. New packs are based on Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, Adventure Time, and Mission Impossible. See them all below, along with an additional video for Mission Impossible.

The digital version of Paper Mario: Color Splash has been getting a lot of attention due to Nintendo’s pre-load accident, but there will of course be a physical version as well. Take a look at the disc art above.

Paper Mario: Color Splash is all about cards, as that’s what players use during battles. The game also features special Thing Cards that is a returning element from Sticker Star. Check out some footage of different Thing Cards from Color Splash below.

A survey conducted by GlobalWebIndex provides insight into the amount of time people are playing on consoles each day.

On Wii U, it’s estimated that the average time spent is at around 2.5 hours, while Wii falls at just over 1.5 hours. Wii U is actually just a minute behind the estimate on Xbox One. The full chart can be seen above.

GlobalWebIndex’s data is based on those who responded between the ages of 16 and 64.
