After a half-decade of Zelda, Grezzo gets to make their own thing and that’s awesome.

E3 2009 feels like a lifetime ago, especially as Nintendo’s presence at the events and in the industry has morphed and evolved since.

When Color Splash hits later this year, the non-RPG Paper Mario games will outnumber the RPG ones.
