Twilight Princess is a quality game, though definitely not up to Ocarina of Time standards (but what is these days?). You could entertain yourself with that for a while I'd think. It'd probably be better/more interesting on Wii than Gamecube (which is where I played it).

As for Paper Mario, I haven't heard a lot about the new game (since I've actually kinda fallen out of console video gaming for the time being considering I haven't bought myself any current-generation consoles), but my experiences with the first two Paper Mario games were very positive ones, no question. They're definitely different from SMRPG, primarily in the battle context, but also in the adventure context, but the dialogue is quite similar in quality (very well done and humorous). I find the battle system to involve enough strategy to keep me interested, and the puzzles one must solve add an extra element that SMRPG didn't really have (but there's slightly more platformer elements in SMRPG, and I don't know which style of gaming you prefer, if you even have a preference). Basically what I'm saying is don't eschew Paper Mario just because it's not quite like SMRPG.

If you're into the Metroid series at all, especially Metroid Prime, I'd also recommend Metroid Prime 3, which comes out on Monday. If it's anything like the first two games in the series (at least in storyline; obviously control will be different) then I wouldn't expect it to be anything less than spectacular.

Damn, this is making me want a Wii. *contemplates*

EDIT: wow, i just spent half an hour crafting a response that basically repeats what the two posts that got in before this one says. *lame* :rolleyes2
