Update: The pre-load option has now been been pulled in North America. Not too surprising!
Last night, we reported that Paper Mario: Color Splash can now be pre-loaded in North America from the Wii U eShop. Nintendo has done this with plenty of the games in the past across both Wii U and 3DS. However, with Color Splash, a major error has been made.
We’re hearing that those who pre-load Paper Mario: Color Splash actually have access to the entire game right now. Obviously, that isn’t supposed to happen as it doesn’t launch until October 7. Those who take advantage of pre-loading usually need to apply a brief update on launch day before they can begin to play.
We’ll let you know if we receive any further updates about the situation.
In just a few days, a new round of Nintendo Selects will be making their way to Europe. Nintendo has now shared a promo video for the newest titles joining the discounted line, which you can watch below.

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.
Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3 can now be downloaded from the North American New 3DS Virtual Console. For their official trailers, get a look at the video below.
