Ah yeah forgot about that, despite not having much of a "paper" aesthetic, it seemed to take the Yoshi's Island approach of going for a stylized, pastel painting look for its aesthetic despite the limited hardware.
I was hoping from the start that even if the script went to shit, I could just slap on a restoration mod and it would suddenly be great. But there are so many little problems that add up to such an unsatisfying experience that you'd have to mod it to hell and back just to make it as good as the original. It really shows how little Nintendo understands why people liked this game in the first place.
I consider that a downgrade. Being able to fall in the water and get bit by a piranha at basically any point was funny, and removing it is just another example of this remake being way too safe for its own good.
I completely agree. The amount of backtracking in chapter 4 specifically fits the story and tone perfectly, and I think it's entirely justified.
Those elements are largely traversal mechanics that don't influence the story any more than the Ground Pound, Super Hammer, or Yoshi Hover.
I still remember them trying to push the narrative that "traps" was offensive.
At this point you'd think people would be universally tired of this. The reaction to hearing another fictional character is trans or made trans should just be crickets. It goes with tweets like this where you see how incredibly over-represented trans is in media that people usually think of a generic way for LGBTQ ass-patting is just make a character trans and specifically that."Has she heard of Birdo? Oh btw Yoshi is trans."
I've got some bad news for you. She's got a cat-ear headband now.
I don't know, it's reasonable to assume that the machine translation might have made some unsavory mistakes. Also, a picture of someone flipping you off is never going to be NSFW.
That was always the case in the American release.
You should be publicly executed in the street.
Huh. So it was. My bad.
Bro, come on. How do people keep falling for the same bait over and over.
I think it should also be mentioned that Paper Mario was originally intended as a direct sequel to Super Mario RPG before being changed.

| MARIO RPG 2 Officially announced, the new episode of the RPG featuring the little plumber will release in 1998 on DD64. While the first Super Mario RPG was developed by Square, this new episode is now in the hands of Nintendo. We're immediately impressed by the technical level of how the game is coded. The game looks 2D, but is actually 3D. All the on-screen elements are as flat as paper (à la PaRappa on PlayStation). When they move, they act like paper in the wind! The effect is stellar and gives a new aesthetic to the game. We don't know much about the story yet, but our plumber will be once again living a difficult and exciting quest. A lot of people found that the game seemed to be aimed towards children. It is early to jump to this conclusion because Miyamoto promised a RPG as big as Yoshi. The overall pastel effect gives a very childish look to product of high technicality. And if the sprites can bend like pieces of paper, they twist and contort in every way. An effect that was already experimented on the stage select screen in Yoshi's Story. It seems to be possible to rotate the background. We're waiting for the game with a badly contained impatience, especially since in early '98, Nintendo should reveal the innovations of this Mario RPG 2, holding to the DD64 support. You have a bad feeling about this forest? Be careful! Mario's long time friends are also part of this adventure. The star world will lead you to new, never seen before lands. Some of the classic Mario bosses are recognizable. 2D Mario evolves in his completely 3D house.  |
It's like what I've seen with people like This is Hard To Do, he's been posting bait for a long while now and people still bite despite how he genuinely puts no effort to it.
