Nintendo Sent Us a Big ol’ Bucket Full o’ Color

As a blogger, I'm always getting all sorts of neat mystery packages sent to my house. Sure I get loads of boxes packed with movies, games or gadgets that I need for blog post reviews. But there are plenty of days I get boxes that I have no clue what's inside. Yeah, the UPS guy must love me. Take the other day for example. A box showed up and I didn't have any upcoming reviews planned, so I had zero clue what was inside. I opened it up and saw an even bigger mystery. A beautifully wrapped yellow bucket filled with all sorts of interesting looking items. I had a vague idea ...
