Searched and this is the newest thread I found about this game. I've been playing it for a few days now and the preview embargo ended today. If you've got a question, ask away.

I like the style and the combat.
please avoid too many tutorials and a boring overworld, and I'll love the game.

Tutorials are fine. You can pretty much ignore all the battle tutorials. You can practise them, read an explanation or figure them out for yourself. The game collects all the tutorials in a separate menu that you can totally avoid forever and ever if you so please.

About the over world; define boring for me here please.

This game wasn't on my radar at all but that Nintendo Direct trailer was amazing.

Wow, cool.

Hm, I guess a general ranking of the M&L games (that you've played) if that's possible
Like: DT>BiS>PiT>SS for example.

Or would you rather a more gameplay question?
Do they sticker things (or what they're called) add to battles in your opinon. Do the paper elements improve the battle system?

Don't go into detail, but are there any original characters, and is it still funny? PLEASE tell me it's still funny.

I won't rank the games, sorry.
I do enjoy this game very much. I like how (up to now) there's no "we're in Bowser" or "we're in Luigi" gimmick this time. It's a Mario ass Mario and Luigi game.

The Paper Mario stuff is pretty much just another party attack. It's mostly "oh look, this is a character we know but in paper!". I like the paper stuff but there's a lot of foreseeable "you are me? And I am you?" stuff.

Funny? Yes! Very inside baseball.
Original characters? Haven't met any up to now.

Is Rosalina in there?

Spoiler

Maybe

I don't think so

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Perhaps they were hungover from "Wigger Wednesday".

Annnnnd dead. I remember when this happened.

Europe getting it first. That seems to be happening more often lately. Good for them, they deserve it after getting the shaft after all of these years.

Alright, that's good. Gonna be a little disappointing if there aren't any original characters, how far are you in?

I gotta ask this too. Every single character and enemy is one you've seen in a Mario or M&L game before? That's...really strange, and totally unlike this series. I'm glad to hear you're digging it though!

Can't say hours, sorry. I still have loads to go I think, going by the unlocked abilities.

Hi oti xereis,

- Approximately how long is the game? How does it stack up to Dream Team or PiT in that section?

- How is the music?

- Does it have a good quirky story (again, using previous titles as a reference) or is it uh, paper thin?

- How much emphasis is put on those collecting missions?

- Can't answer that, sorry
- Love it, some sad piano thrown in there and I'm like whaaa
- It's not that surprising up to now, but a big twist could be just around the corner, I dunno
- well, you have to do them in order to progress at some points, but they're not all "go and find everyone", there's some variety in there. You can also replay them in a harder difficulty to collect stuff and complete side quest-ish stuff

I primarily want to know how "new" this game feels to you. This game was announced along with the new Mario Tennis and Triforce Heroes, and so far all three of these games look like they only exist because they can easily reuse assets and not because someone had a great vision for a new game. So how "new" is this game? Any reason to play this if you already played most of them?

 

[Astral Dog]

hmm, i did not like Dream Team or Sticker Star, could this be better or just more of the same? (bloated, messy , boring plot, stupid minigames) these two series have lost some of their luster imo.

And this, but there is probably going to be a new thread for previews.

Sorry, I won't say yes or no here.
It is a Mario & Luigi game. "Mario game" pretty much is the setting. I don't think I've seen any new characters so far.

[oti]

But please take notice: I can't talk about anything after a certain point in the game which I haven't reached yet. So stuff could be different after that.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Just to be sure: Both Bowsers speak correct?

And are they basically the same, or do the Bowser and Paper Bowser have different personality nuances?


How long are the special attacks? For the past few games it feels like some are a bit too long...

Bowser gotta Bowser. Paper or not.
Special attacks can take too long, yes. Just the way the series has always been.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'll take that as a good thing.
I'm assuming they team up or something.


Well, special attacks didn't always take a long time (superstar Saga)

There is for instance the Trio Squash attack, the enemies turn into paper and get glued on the wall. Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi play Squash and hit them repeatedly. This takes some time. You can skip some animations though.

 

[Fawk Nin]

Can you say in general if you are pleased with the game so far or somewhat underwhelmed?

 

[oti]

I'm enjoying my time with it. It's pretty much by the numbers up to now though and exactly what you would think of if someone told you "Mario and Luigi with Paper Mario".

I like the amiibo integration way more than I thought. It's a bit cumbersome to use them but it's fun and I want to collect all the cards. (Which won't happen, my only amiibo ist the 30th anniversary Mario amiibo)

 

[oti]

Sice I just passed the preview embargo point in the story I'll just add some other notes here:

- amiibo cards are fun but can totally break the game during the first hours, I got a "deal x amount of fire damage to all foes" card and skipped at least ten battles with it, if you don't own amiibo or just aren't as lucky you don't get such card at the beginning though, it's a roulette thing, having said that actually using amiibo cards is cumbersome since you have to put the amiibo on the N3DS screen every time you want to use them
- battle cards just unlocked for me, those are amiibo cards without amiibo, they're fun and you can build your own deck out of them but in the end I hardly ever use them since the game is really easy (playing on normal, there's even an easy mode which I just don't understand)
- I'm having fun

 

[dity]

To prevent this?

I dunno. I agree with you though, it's an odd choice.

I want this. I want Mamawario and Mamawaluigi.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

What is with ''cards'' in every game nowdays? Halo, Battlefront, this back to back.

Okay, no new characters, but are there any characters returning from other M&L or PM games (aka characters not from the main series or other spin offs)?

 

[User 479360]

I'm looking forward to the campaign, not so much the Papercraft giant battles. I didn't like that mode at E3.

But we've gotta' wait longer in NA for some dumb reason.

Dream Team is the only Mario & Luigi game I've played, though, and it was kind of disappointing. It got very repetitive and a bit dull. I beat it, though.

I do own Bowser's Inside Story, but I haven't played it.

Dream Team was too long for its content. It's good, but Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story are superior in terms of pacing.

 

[maxcriden]

Anyone know when the embargo is up? Monday perhaps?

By the looks of it, only Starlow.

Also damn, this game is out in like a week. I still feel like I've not seen enough.

I feel like the trailers focused too much on gimmicks like the Papercraft battles, and showed very little of the rest.

For the love of God do not have an asinine amount of garbage tutorials this time.
