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.

Continuing on from his comments yesterday, Yves Guillemot has again spoken about NX. IGN put up more comments from the Ubisoft CEO, most notably of which has him saying that “Nintendo has learned from the Wii U” with its new system.

Guillemot said the following when asked if he views the NX as a step back towards the Wii’s more inclusive approach:

“It’s difficult to answer that [before NX is revealed]. What we see is that Nintendo has learned from the Wii U. All publishers learn from what they do, and then come with something new and more attractive, which I think is the case here.”

Guillemot went on to praise NX’s interface and how the system “will be easy to use for all gamers”:

The final two episodes from the Paper Mario: Color Splash “Rescue V” video series weren’t supposed to go up until the next couple of weeks, but Nintendo of Australia seems to have jumped the gun a bit earlier than expected. Both may be eventually removed, but for now, you can watch them below.

Thanks to KobobKC for the tip.

Devil’s Third has come a long way since facing stock issues in North America last year. Amazon now has it on sale, which is something we hadn’t really seen before until now. You can pick up a copy for $40 ($20 in savings).
