Thanksgiving is almost upon us. The Wii U has just been released in stores. Thanksgiving break is here for all college students, including myself. What better way to celebrate corporate greed and limitless gluttony than with Mr. Gluttony himself, Wario. This time, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) will take a look at some Wario Land commercials that didn’t make it to North America in this week’s Foreign Wrap-Up.
