My Thoughts

I have been waiting years to play the e-levels in Super Mario brothers 3 (Mario Advance 4) so I am looking forward to buying that game later today . I didn't play Mario & Luigi Paper Jam but the critical consensus is that the game is not the best Mario RPG Nintendo has released . Overall a nice week with lots of quality releases !
