Paper Mario Series

[Nauseated Courgi]

We’d probably have it by now if they hadn’t waited two years to do what they should have done from the start and have Retro Studios make it. Hell, let Retro make a Paper Mario game.

If this latest game blows then I'll be right behind on that. Although, what's Retro's history with games?

Although, what's Retro's history with games?

The Metroid Prime games, Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze, and Mario Kart 7.

The Metroid Prime games, Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze, and Mario Kart 7.

Their involvement with Mario Kart 7 was minor, but they are very adept at bringing back old franchises and making them feel like the way you remember them. However, they are apparently a very dysfunctional studio which would explain why they haven’t released anything since Tropical Freeze six years ago.

I don't care if they're the town drunk. Whenever they manage to make something, it's great. If they want more booze, I'll get it for them.

Only if the battle system has reverted from the awful "every attack you make is done through an item" mechanic will I even consider getting this game.

I'm at work but in the video when Mario does the jump technique on all the enemies in the row, it does show what looks like a Shiny Boot (Something out of Sticker Star). It didn't peel off when used like in Sticker Star but I feel it'll be a similar system.

This looks like a good sign.

Of couse it be a fucking toad who gets a diffrent then standard skin. Why can't they show some love to the other possble partner. If a normally enemy type of race is helping mario, you think they give them a neat skin to make them stand out.

But to be fair that something 1 and 2 did, and if 1 and 2 did something good, then BY GOD WE CAN'T KEEP THAT ELEMENT.

When I rip the Origami King in half and beat the game, Bowser had better bust through the wall and this song had better start playing.

Anything less means 0/10 pirate it. Flush the plumber down the drain or get the fuck out.

Nah man You should beat the "Final boss"and then Bowser says "Fuck it" and turns into a giant origami bowser.

Please understand, Intelligence systems is a smol indie dev.....
but for real keep in mind these are the same guys that wont bring back the wars series because they have no idea how to add waifus to it

Thank God for Wargroove.

One of Nintendo's core design philosophies is to make their games unique. This is part of the issue with Paper Mario, I think. You get the worst of that philosophy with this series. Because Nintendo derives the vast majority of its profit from video game hardware and software sales, they need to make sure that their product isn't something that you can get on the other guy's system. Usually this works. But not all of the time.

They do eventually get it right though. The Powerglove (it's so bad!) became the Wii, the Virtual Boy became the 3DS and the Wii U became the Switch. I hope this game is another example of them eventually getting it right.

In the game you can choose wich pronoun you want to use (boys or girl) at any time. But being angry at this is just grapsing straw

From what I understand they were basically forced to do that which is why it's done in such a half arsed way and only in the English versions.

Who continues to buy these fake Paper Mario games? I've never heard anyone say any of them are better than "okay" but they keep getting made.

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

Here are my bare minimum expectation: the gameplay has to be better than Super Paper Mario and the story has to be better than color splash.

I’m just thankful they even have partners at all, let alone have characters that aren’t just your standard toad. Even a toad with a different costume every now and then is good enough for me.

Nintendo fans buy everything. Some letsplayers have even made it a meme to hate on it but they still buy it.

Knew one person who talked about buying Color Splash solely because the Koopalings were in it (I like the Koopalings, but not that much). I have no idea if she actually did or not.

This looks like a good sign.

Cope.

The partner is just going to be sitting there doing nothing. Calling it now.

He will be doing something.

He will be uselessly backpatting mario like he was a blue check mark on twitter, and Mario was a stunning and brave PoC.

Emile makes good shit but god damn did pokemon and mario 64 being there during his childhood abuse made him fucked up when it comes to brand attachment

If Nintendo really wanted to please their fans (and make a profit), all they would need to do is make an HD bundle of the first Paper Mario and TTYD for the Switch. A bundle like that would sell like hotcakes.

That's one of the biggest issues with Nintendo- they have such a huge back catalog of great games that would sell well if re-released, yet with some exceptions (HD ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, for example) they don't have any interest in bringing back some of their classics.

I get it, they want to put out new products, but they could still do that and bring back some of their classics at the same time.
