Guys. I'm feeling it.

A Wii U will be mine this year.

It's happening.

I know what you mean Sean. I'd been planning to upgrade to a PS4 or XBone this Christmas, but I'm still not sold on either of them. If I pick up a Wii U, though, I get the new Mario World, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart, Smash Bros next year...

Of course all that could change depending on what's announced at E3

Mario Kart 8 is averaging at an 89 right now on Metacritic. It's gonna be a looong wait!

A free, downloable Pokemon based around Streetpassing is coming out in Japan. It also has a similar aesthetic to Paper Mario...!

I'm quite excited for Mario Kart tomorrow :) I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far. It seems like we've been waiting for this one for a long, long time.

You may or may not have heard of Chibi-Robo but he is adorable! I remember playing the JPN Gamecube game and was completely smitten by it all.

Chibi-Robo! Let’s Go, Photo!

Everything's cute when it's titchy. Case in point – Chibi-Robo, a tiny robot tasked with filling an empty museum in Chibi-Robo! Let's Go, Photo! in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS!
