Nintendo has gone live with new North American commercials to promote Paper Mario: Color Splash. Check out the brief videos below.

These days, it’s easy to associate Sonic with Nintendo. The character has appeared in Olympics games with Mario, and SEGA even partnered with the big N on some exclusive games. During the early ’90s, however, things were much different as Mario and Sonic were pretty big rivals.

Game Informer put up a new piece today about how Sonic eventually landed on Nintendo platforms following SEGA’s exit from the gaming hardware business. It contains some interesting quotes from the likes of creator Yuji Naka, Sonic developer Takashi Iizuka, and even Shigeru Miyamoto.

Read up on some noteworthy comments below. You can find Game Informer’s article here for more.

Over on its Zelda Facebook page, Nintendo posted some new gathering screenshots from Breath of the Wild. Each one naturally shows some of the supplies players will be able to collect while playing. View them below.
