I don't think any other dev, no, any other game could get away with such an art style, somehow it just works, amazing looking game, certainly plays to the Wii's strengths.
I know the UK will be at least a month behind the US with this game, but i'm not too unhappy, just getting to play (potentially) the best non main-series Mario since SMRPG (Which I had to wait years to play cause the UK didn't get it) is good enough for me, keep the info coming

I don't think that's been confirmed either way yet.
It's a little hard to tell from the videos since the action is relatively slow paced... but if I had to guess, it looks like 60fps. I don't think that would be too hard to achieve considering the game probably doesn't require a hell of a lot of processing power.

Not sure if it's been posted, but Gamespot has a new preview up:
Super Paper Mario Preview: Chapter 1: The Adventure Unfolds

Here's a similar pic, and no, I don't have a larger version. I think the creator of this one is on this board? Can't remember who it was, perhaps clearacell.

Yeah, I remember making that a while back :)
I'm using that picture as a background and I didn't even notice people wanting a huge version

All I did was blow it up, but if there's someone crazy enough out there they should vectorize it :lol
That gamespot preview really sounded awesome... All kinds of crazy stuff going on in this game..
It is sort of spoilerish, so avoid it if that stuff bothers you. I decided to check it out since they're only talking about the very beginning of the game.
They seem really impressed with it.

Has something to do with why we both hate Metroid Prime. That and IntSys walks on water and upon appearance, the sun rises.
is this background a tribute to the vertical lines you'd get when the contacts of your smb cart were dusty? sure looks like it. i'd be all over this if there was a gamecube version. i don't know why they announced it for gamecube in the first place -- probably just another "this is what you get for buying a gamecube" gesture.

I probably have the oddest taste. I love the 2d marios and Mario sunshine, but not mario 64. I love Mario RPG and the Paper Mario games. I LOVE Metroid Prime, but don't care for the side scrolling Metroid games.
I already have the $5 preorder down for this game, I did so when I picked up Tales of Legendia (which I still haven't played yet since I traded in FFXII towards Baten Kaitos Origins the next day).

I probably could have swayed you if I had just found that GIF of Bastian I was looking for...
Seriously though, I'll have to look up Crush, I haven't seen it in action. I'm not sure how it could be so much better... every area in SPM has two distinct views and sets of interactions, which, for a 2d game of this style, is pretty cool.
But what do I know? I'm just a junior member.

Just get a second Gamecube (approx 1$USD) and a roll of duct tape (approx 3$USD). Enjoy!

Fo yo benefit. I'm not saying Crush is a better game or anything, just strictly talking about the dimensional shift. You like The Neverending Story, so you're cool in my book anyways.

Crush looks interesting - if it came to DS I might be interested in purchasing it. The dimensional shift looks like it might be more complicated than SPM; in that way I will agree with you that SPM, since it is simple, may not be as intricately-designed.
Though, we are discussing two games which very few of us have played. I haven't played either, and I'm sure that only a handful of gafers have played them. We'll have to wait and see... I'm still super psyched about SPM, but if the whole dimensional shift truly is "cheap," I may have to pass.

Cards? Recipes? That could be cool. Or it could be alchemy. And we ****ing hate alchemy if it has a shitty interface. Right?
have any videos shown like, complex platforming? all the levels I've seen have been really barren, and the characters look like they move really slow. hopefully it's just been because they were taken from intro levels or something.

This is not an action platformer. Think of the game as a your regular Paper Mario RPG, but without the switch to a separate battle screen when you encounter an enemy.
