Just one more sleep! Unless you’ve already woken up for the day… then just a few more hours until the 9am EST launch of the Nintendo direct! That’s April 2nd for those keeping track.<\/p>\n
We’re very interested to see what’s coming! With so many properties and concepts to play around with to it’s name, it should be exciting to see what Nintendo will release with this new console. Obviously we’re looking at a new Mario Kart, but what else? Star Fox? Finally something relating to Mario 2?<\/p>\n

I miss throwing turnips at creatures in Mario’s dream…<\/p>\n
