This should have been The Official Super Paper Mario Thread of Hope and Wonder in order to make the Charlie the Unicorn reference.

That sounds a little queer, you'll have to switch between horizontal and vertical position to get info? We also wish we could use the Wavebird or the Classic Controler for this game, it's a damn side-scroller anyway.

Actually, I'm thinking of it more like a help screen. As in, non-inpactive of gameplay. I'm guessing it pauses the game in a way. I see your point though, but I think at least they're TRYING to make it look like it belongs on the Wii.

 

[Scum]

Come on Nintendo, give us Europeans a Release Date

You heard the man, NOE! Get on with it!! Where's our release date??

 

[purg3]

Now this is how to do an "official" thread, great job. Day 1 purchase for me, this will be the first game I will have bought since launch.

 

[fallout]

yaaaaaay

now all I need is a Wii :lol

Same here! Now if only I could ****ing find one ...

 

[Grecco]

The Seccond Coming of Jesus indeed. Cant wait.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Same here! Now if only I could ****ing find one ...

Yes. It's in the big SPM preview thread which is linked on the OP, under media.

 

[Stop It]

Almost legendary amount of info on SPM

Wow, bravo, one of the best hype threads I have seen since I started lurking here, and for a well deserving game, if only that EU date got filled, I want some IntSys loving too.

SPM GOTY award on standby? I can't wait to see if this shifts the Wii sales into overdrive (Just in time for the April push in supply IIRC).

 

[E-phonk]

No EU date? That does it - region free modchip here i come.


SOEPER PEEJPER MARJOO!!

 

[keanerie]

Wonder! Joy! These things I feel. This thread is a thing of beauty.

[underfooter]

This game has GOTY written all over it. I bet it will push 4 or 5 million copies worldwide.

 

[super funk]

Whoa whoa whoa! April 9?! For some reason I thought the release was two weeks later. Awesome!

I bet it will push 4 or 5 million copies worldwide.

So basically, it'll be about as good as Sunshine?

9.9/10 allows .1 for the sequel.



On that note, I haven't been this excited for a Mario game since the day I got my bright yellow copy of Nintendo Power in the mail. Oh man I can't tell you how hyped I was back in the day for that game, and I can't describe how much I look forward to this game, either.

 

[ethelred]

God, this game is going to rule so much.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I have to finish the GC game I bought to play on the Wii first.

Although, this is a platformer and not an RPG, so that's cool. Hope it turns out awesome.

I think I spent more time in my life staring and lusting at the screenshots and maps of Super Mario Bros. than actually playing that game... but I can see where you are getting at. Unlike other Mario games since then, Super Paper Mario seems to have that special... something which Super Mario Bros 3. And I can imagine that it will probably have the same effect on people - people loving it and proclaiming it Mario heaven, and others going ahead and saying that the more "traditional 3d" Super Mario Galaxy is better (the Super Mario World for this comparison).

This cannot be stated enough times. It's like Nintendo realized what went wrong (Mario64), and then saw the light (NSMB=$). Luckily for us, we get the result of Nintendo's greed.

Let us show them that when they treat us well, they will sell games UNTO THE HEAVENS.

[Eteric Rice]

This is going to be a first day purchase for me.

Then again, only games that are from Nintendo, and Square-Enix are ever "first day purchases" for me. I usually wait for other stuff to drop in price.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Mario 64 went wrong? You are ****ing up a great thread you worked hard on

 

[PantherLotus]

Wait did somebody say that Mario was "traditionally" in 3D or did I completely read that wrong?

Jesus of Nazareth, rescuer of gamers everywhere regardless of their blasphemy, save us from our sins.

but it better be, quite literally, the BEST official thread ever conceived. If it does not meet that standard, all your official thread starting privileges will be revoked and I will personally come to your house and say mean things to you.

Panther, you're definitely safe with this one. Kudos - this is the one time where the official thread

stands up to the awesomeness of the game it's promoting.

If Mario 64 is wrong, I don't want to be right...

I mentioned "traditional 3d" compared to Paper Mario's "nontraditional 2d/3d hybrid" which might scare off gamers who came onto the Mario franchise post-Mario 64. I personally am an unashamed oldschool fan of 2d game goodness of all types and am looking forward more to this game than any new-fangled 3d Mario games coming up.

Mario 64 went wrong? You are ****ing up a great thread you worked hard on

I stand by my comments. Mario64 was good at the time but pales in comparison, no SHAMES the legend that was the Mario franchise after SMB, SMB2, SMB3, and the awesomeness of SMW. And we won't even mention Sunshine, ok?

Mario64 changed the way games were played. It was an awesome game. It was monumental. It had great graphics, awesome control, and it was a blast to play. I thought at the time it was the return of Christ himself come to save us. But it was a false messiah. It just wasn't mario.

Look back. Look at Mario 2. Look at Mario 3. Look at Super Mario World, or hell...even Yoshi's Island. Mario64 was simply missing a soul. No 2 player, plain art design, just-ok music, and a completely un-engaging story.

But to get back on topic, SUPER PAPER MARIO surely will address all of those issues. It is a bright and beautiful game. It returns to what Mario once was: greatness. 2D. Cute-as-hell enemies. Awesome level design. No ****ing water pack.*

It's going to be freaking awesome. And it will have wonder and joy. AND YOU WILL BEG FOR FORGIVENESS.


*and let it be remembered, it's Mario64's fault that we got that bullshit that is SMS in the first place. If that doesn't scare you about SMG, I'm not sure what will.

 

[rezuth]

So Luigi does not appear in any screenshots or videos of the game. Yet he appears on the cover for both versions of the game... Luigi as fourth charater confirmed?

 

[nincompoop]

Mario 64 was pretty embarassing when compared to the classing sidescrolling 2D Marios. Thankfully Sunshine did a much better job of capturing the feel of those games.

I want this game so bad but I don't have a wii

 

[PantherLotus]

Great theory!

I've read that he was kidnapped and that you actually have to rescue him. Maybe it's replayable with Luigi?

 

[ant1532]

Wow at Mario 64 hate.

 

[Diablos54]

:lol :lol So true. God damn NoE.

 

[elostyle]

So it is possible to run wii imports yet?

 

[PantherLotus]

Wow at Mario 64 hate.

It's a bit like Wind Waker. But opposite.

sheesh 2d whore, I will agree that 2d marios are awesome, I miss my yellow cape and raccoon tails but get off Mario 64's jock... and don't talk shit about SMS

do you have to **** up the Thread of Wonder and Joy with your biased hate?

whoa, that was brave from you.

Do you know what are the consequences of bashing mario 64 on a nintendo friendly forum like neogaf?? prepare your flame shield.

and by the way I TOTALLY agree with you.

 

[PantherLotus]

Hey, it's an opinion...and I stand by it. I don't believe it will detract for our mutual EXCITE for this game. Not at all. Can we at least agree that this might be closer to a real Mario game than Galaxy will be?

 

[chibcicylist]

What are you doing Panther?! Why must you de-hype Galaxy!

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Nintendo, announce a PAL release date already.

I never finished Mario 64 and didn't even try Sunshine. Count me in the non 3D Mario fans. I have high hopes for Mario Galaxy though, partly thanks to the small planets level design.

okay agreed, lets not bring it up again.

Spoiler

I secretly want to see this game outsell Galaxy

 

[Eteric Rice]

PantherLotus, I will give you 3 days to take that back.

3 DAYS!

If you do not, I will use two Gamecubes as knuckles (because of the handles, they're great boxing... things) AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! >=(
