Hmm I dunno really. Because PM RPG environment is not in true 2D side scroller. It has depth allt here time so you can walk in and out etc but this time the game is almost in fulll 2d when you walk around there is no depth in the field just old school 2D but you have the option to turn the area to 3D so you can find hidden place etc. I haven't tried it myself so I can't really talk much but afaic it looks like that.

I really hate watching game footage where someone is clinically retarded at playing the game, as it breaks up the flow and fun look of the game. I mean running into enemies and not being able to jump on them fluidly?
Boss battle definitely seems ripped straight from SotC, so hehe. Weird effect where a mouse cursor drag selects stuff to appear. Makes me wonder what the plot is gonna be behind all this. Complete destruction of the 4th wall as Mario acknowledges he is a video game character?

It's released close to the Wii launch, you might as well consider it a Wii title. This way, both Gamecube owners and Wii owners can play it. I don't think a title like this can greatly benefit from new controls.ethelred said:

It doesn't matter how much it'll benefit from the new controls (I mean, Smash isn't using them at all). It's all about the positioning and the marketing -- people here might as well consider it a Wii title, but if it's not coming in a Wii box, most people aren't going to consider it one, and they won't be buying GameCube games in October or whatever. Retailers will want to be shuting down their GameCube sections ASAP, on top of that.
I don't get what this game is trying to do yet. It has the platforming style of Paper Mario (which isn't designed for a purely action type of play) in a traditional platforming Mario setting. Surely there has to be some sort of catch and I think I might see it in its definition as a "platform/RPG hybrid". But where does the RPG element come into play? I see hit points but how do they come into play? I honestly thought they'd compensate for the lack of focus on the action with live action recreations of the brillant Paper Mario battle strats.
I must know what they are planning on doing with this game!

is it just me or mario looks like he's trapped in a virtual world?
Looks conceptually cool, and I've always wanted to have the Paper Mario graphics without the Paper Mario backtracking. However, from the looks of things, the controls concern me a little; I know it might just be the person playing them, but I also know that I wasn't too fond of the map screen controls in PM. So it'll be a wait and see kind of thing.

I really hope that some of the older GC games will still be available once Wii hits, cause my GC is dying and I can't play games on it, and I don't want to fix it or get a new one, I figured I'll just play the GC games I missed on Wii.

That'd be cool, but they've done it before. All of the Mario Sports and Mario Party games are supposed to be what Mario and the rest do when they're not appearing in standard games. That's why the villians and the heros play together and such... at least, that's what the story for Mario Part 2 was, I think.Luckett_X said:
It does look like he's trapped in a computer or something, though. You have the little cursor side-kick that follows you around and when you switch characters and perspectives it drags & drops over you. Also, Bowser is very obviously on your side this time... HMMMMM!
