Posted May 27, 2011 http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/117/1171014p1.html Nice little article about the Mario RPGs by IGN. I do hope so very much that this game will get a release this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 New trailer! http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/e3_2011/03/paper_mario/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 That trailer is quite in line with Kirby's Epic Yarn, but it looks to be an epic adventure none the less.... Still no witty dialogue though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 ^ So you bump the thread when there's no news, and yet there's a new trailer and you're a day late posting in this thread! You should be asshamed of yourself! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 12, 2011 Looks like classic paper Mario. Can't be faulted! The only thing that caught my eye was the animation. It's more in like with the N64-edition instead of the GC-editions. Which is a bit of a shame, especially since there's no reason why it shouldn't be technically possible. It's a small detail, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2011 The part with the parachuting bob-ombs (parabob-ombs?) will look great in 3D. I thought the lava looked good too as did some of those battle moves towards the end, like scissors. I preferred how Mario went down pipes in TTYD. Does Paper Mario going handheld mean Mario & Luigi hopping over to the Wii U...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2011 Does Paper Mario going handheld mean Mario & Luigi hopping over to the Wii U...? FUSED KING's THOUGHTS TIME! I'd like to know a speculative answer from you guys regarding the following question: Now that Paper Mario is getting the handheld treatment, could we be seeing the Mario&Luigi series appearing on a console in the near future!??!? Also, ... Does anyone know what Alphadream is currently concocting? I certainly like to see that happen for a change! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N64 3DS Especially when you look at Mario, he definitely looks like the 2 latest iterations of the series, instead of the N64 Mario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2011 Using a still picture to judge the animation style? That makes so much sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N64 3DS Especially when you look at Mario, he definitely looks like the 2 latest iterations of the series, instead of the N64 Mario. I see your point, my King, but while the assets indeed are more like the latest incarnations, the animation of them is more N64-version-like. You have to see it moving to see it. It looks great nonetheless, though. Compare the animation on the sprites with both the N64- and GC-editions. N64: GC: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2011 I prefer the N64 style of animation - it's cuter and somehow more 'papery' I think the balance of styles they've found in the 3DS version is just right. Somehow to me, Thousand Year Door and particularly Super Paper Mario looked more plastic and lost some of the simple charm of the original (tho I still love both!). It's also clear that the music is harking back to a more classic mode as well. This can only be a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2011 I've not completed Paper Mario 64 yet; I think I got a little bored as it felt like I'd played it before: TTYD. It wont stop me picking this up if it's any good though. Isn't it supposed to be out before Christmas? Maybe I'll pick up a 3DS before Christmas if this, Icarus (and Mercenaries) are good - and I have the funds.

Posted July 5, 2011 This game looks great in the trailer! Some of the 3D didn't seem to work all that great where you might expect, like the parachuting bob-ombs etc... but it just gives such a crisp, layered look to the game! Very much looking forward to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah it looked great can't wait to get it and when does it come out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 7, 2011 I was very happy with the trailer. The paper art style really works well with the 3D layers and the rest of the visuals are nice and crisp too. Hopefully the trademark dialogue will live up to its reputation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone else notice the 3D turns itself off for a few seconds during a battle about halfway through the trailer or so? This just an oversight, or something to do with the gameplay I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2011 Cool trailer! How similar is this game to Superstar Saga/Bowsers Inside Story etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2011 They're eerily similar. They both have some exploration and platforming. The battle systems are similar and require timing in both series (there's less focus on dodging attacks in Paper Mario, though). They both have a lot of humor. Other than the graphics, the differences are slight. The badge system is better/more developed in Paper Mario, and obviously you only control Mario outside battles. The Paper Mario games tend to be split into chapters with a new area per chapter and don't have the same sort of Zelda-esque overworld as Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story, though you're allowed to go back and search for anything you may have missed. If you like one series, you'll probably like the other (Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario excluded). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 9, 2011 What's wrong with Partners in Time? I quite enjoyed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This just an oversight, or something to do with the gameplay I wonder? Yes, I noticed it just now! It's the part where the goombas are getting folded, and then cut themselves loose from the screen in a square. I am intrigued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
