Nintendo opened a new Japanese page on its website today highlighting the Wii U’s non-gaming capabilities (though there is still quite a bit of gaming representation, of course). You can find it here.

Truth be told, there isn’t anything particularly astounding about the page. But it does give us some pretty neat Mario artwork!
