And no, the Wii U didn’t get a massive graphics hardware upgrade overnight, either. Sadly, this is not an actual augmented reality Mario game.

My Kingdom For This Retro-Themed PS4
Given my penchant for wood-panelled video game hardware, if this Photoshop mockup were ever to become a real thing, I would sell every other piece of video game hardware I owned to get hold of it.
