Nice to see Nintendo keeping up their tradition of accidental leaks fueling the hype train—guess even retailers can't resist spoiling the surprise. That rumored mouse functionality has me wondering if we're getting a new Mario Paint or if someone at Nintendo really misses the SNES era.

April 2nd can't come soon enough—my wallet's already sweating just thinking about those inevitable collector's edition bundles. That 'C' button rumor has me more curious than a cat in a room full of laser pointers, though Best Buy Canada's accidental leak is giving me major 'Nintendo ninjas are coming' vibes, but hey, at least we finally have a date to mark in our calendars. Time to start practicing my F5 key reflexes for pre-order day
