Thanks to Nintendo of Europe, we have a new trailer for Paper Mario: Color Splash showing various aspects of the game. View it below.

Nintendo uploaded a couple of new commercials for Paper Mario: Color Splash in Japan. Both can be seen below.

Head past the break for an extra video based on the second commercial.

Update: Here’s the regular, latest episode of Nyannyan Neko Mario Time:


The latest episode of Nintendo’s Japanese show Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has now gone live, specifically focusing on Paper Mario: Color Splash. We’ve included it below.

Many of you are aware that LEGO Dimensions was given several new packs today. New content includes Harry Potter, Adventure Time, Ghostbusters, and more. Unfortunately, we’re hearing that Wii U players are unable to access content pertaining to the new packs.

The issue all comes down to updates. Players need to download the new levels as patches. Although figures work in the game, without the updates, these stages are simply inaccessible.

It’s unclear when the situation will be rectified. If we receive any updates, we’ll let you know.

Among the new packs available for LEGO Dimensions today is one based on Adventure Time. Get another look at what it has to offer below.

With new LEGO Dimensions packs launching today, Warner Bros. and TT Games are also introducing Battle Arenas. Each one features competitive gameplay for up to four players. Capture the Flag, Objective, Base Bash and Tick, Tag, and Boom modes are included. Watch a new trailer for the Battle Arenas below.

The final two episodes of Paper Mario: Color Splash – Rescue V were spotted on Nintendo’s Australian YouTube page last week, but as expected, both were pulled. Nintendo has now put up the sixth video officially, so we’ll leave that below.
