It’s on My Nintendo now A new Nintendo Halloween wallpaper just droppedvia the My Nintendo program, and it’s amazingly cute, especially when it comes to the takes on certain characters. Not unlike a Disney promo with Mickey masquerading as Count Dracula, Mario takes on a Pumpkin-Vampire-like form, with Peach as a witch, Luigi as a werewolf, Yoshi as a dragon, and Toad as a ghost.

YetVanguardremains, and much like its competition did some time ago, it’s made the move tofree-to-play. SOE are promising to enhance the game and provide regular updates, which will no doubt please its current users....
