Here we are in the month of October, the holidays are quickly approaching, and the news of the NX is still missing. There’s quite a selection of games in today’s releases so are you ready? Let’s jump right into the action!
Leading off for the Wii U is the colorful Paper Mario: Color Splash. Help Paper Mario restore color to the world of Prism Island with his new Paint Hammer. Rescue toads, fight familiar enemies, solve puzzles in this action-packed adventure! I have a review copy, so stay tuned to read my thoughts on this game. Also available is the DS classic Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. Donkey Kong kidnaps the quest of honor, Pauline. Mario and his toys must rescue her once again! Or you can always pick up Act it Out! A Game of Charades, Hurry Up! Bird Hunter, Ninja Pizza Girl, PSIBO, and SKORB.
First off the boat for the 3DS side is the SNES classic Mega Man X2. Sigma is gone, but his rebellion is still continuing. Some new Mavericks show up to resurrect a secret weapon.
