Super Paper Mario

[Sephex]

I picked this up today and I am really enjoying it. I am glad that it was reworked for the Wii instead of it coming out on the GameCube as originally planed. The controls are perfect. It's really fun suddenly switching to 3D and in order to uncover secrets. As usual when it comes to a Paper Mario, the script is hilarious. It's not too difficult so far (just finished first chapter), but it sure is fun to play! Anyone else pick this up?

Picking it up on this week's paycheck

[Ichimonji]

I'm going to pick up this game first thing in the morning tomorrow. I can't wait.

[Mirage]

I would have settled for the name "Paper Super Mario".

[Jowy]

I WANT THIS. ;_;

My lack of Wii is distressing. I'll get to play it eventually.

[Skyblade]

I did get this, and, truthfully, it's disappointing. It's an enjoyable game, there is no doubt about that, but so far it seems to fall short of the mark left by its predecessor, the illustrious Thousand Year Door. The chiefly 2D world, while nice, falls short of the 3D world we were given in TYD. The swap was unneccessary in TYD, because we were already in the 3D world. And Mario seems to have lost all his greatest abilities, such as manipulating his paper self into a paper airplane or boat. The Catch Cards are another fallback. In TYD, we had the wonderful badges, which could be mixed and matched to allow customization of your battle style. The Catch Cards are simple damage manipulators, and are always active. While this is a decent game, I can't help but compare it to TYD, and it suffers in that comparison.

It sounds like a good game but why call it paper mario when its 3-D Lol.

[Skyblade]

It sounds like a good game but why call it paper mario when its 3-D Lol.

Because the characters and items are almost exclusively made of paper. Take a 2-D sprite and stick it in a 3-D world, complete with the ability to turn sideways to be almost invisible, wad themselves into a ball, or make various paper-airplane like shapes (although those abilities have been killed some since TYD. ).

[The Majestic]

Oh okay I see. But it really does suck that they took off the turning into a paper airlplane and paper boat.

[Ichimonji]

This game is extremely fun. It doesn't compare to Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, but they're both also very different games. Regardless, this game is very enjoyable and addictive, with a hilarious script.

Also, if you're stuck in Yold Village... You probably shouldn't be playing this game. All I can say is, explore.

[Dreddz]

Still sloppy on Nintendo's part for not including any voices, by now we shouldnt have to be reading through pages and pages of text. And the 2D to 3D instantly lost its appeal when the 3D world looks so crap.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Hmm, Zelda never needed voices yet those games rocked. And 2D/3D graphics really don't mean crap as long as the game is fun, which is really the point of games. No matter how good/bad/non-existant voice acting and graphics are as long as the game is FUN then the game is good.
