Ladies! Ladies and gentlemen welcome to episode 61 of the reform

pub cast I'm your blue shell host lest on So we got a Wii U for Christmas.

I'm playing the new Mario Kart.

And it's great.

It is really, really good.

We also got Super Mario 3D World, which we kind of thought was going to be you know a

quick play-through or whatever but it's actually really really interesting.

Yeah I've seen I've seen videos of it it's really cool to see Mario in HD.

Yeah, yeah that's one of the definitely one of the biggest improvements is

like anybody could release a game.

And so when Nintendo came out, they said, well, we're going to license the games, so we won won't we'll have like quality control.

We're only going to allow games that are good to come out and like so when it came out like every game you bought was was kind of like Nintendo would

oversee and make sure that it was good right and I was still too young to like I
