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.
I wish I had any hype for SMG.RubxQub said:Thread--
What are you doing Panther?! Why must you de-hype Galaxy!

and by the way I TOTALLY agree with you.

Chris Remo said:Just for the record, Intelligent Systems didn't develop Kid Icarus. It was developed by R&D1, members of which split off to form Intelligent Systems. This would be like saying Flagship Studios developed Diablo because members of Blizzard split off to form Flagship.
Anyway, can't wait to pick up this game.
No, you must choose.Smiles and Cries said:Yeah its closer to its roots but one can also say its more of the same, can they not?
Mario Galaxy is so far beyond its roots I don't know how to feel, I just want to FAP to both games... Is that okay?
Gamespot: 8.8 confirmed.Smiles and Cries said:Yeah its closer to its roots but one can also say its more of the same?
allarise said:back, back, back on topic. I'm super jazzed about SPM. Like someone once said, this will be my first purchase since launch... This is actually the first Wii game that makes me wish I had a 16x9 TV, odd innit?
Not at all, it's already sold out so it will just continue to do the same.Smiles and Cries said:How much will this game boost Wii sales in US and Japan? Anyone care to guess

I think just about everyone in this thread has thought the same thing.bluemax said:I'd unashamedly use that as a background image if I could get it in a reasonable size.

why the heck do you refer to yourself as 'we'? serioulsy :/agent069 said: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.

Kintaro said:Well, in the first review of the game I've seen, it received an 8.5 from Play.
Let the bashing commence.
Cosmozone said:I haven't any experience with Paper Mario so far so I'm not that hyped yet. But that's a good thing, makes the wait much more bearable. I'm gonna play Paper Mario 2 before SPM comes out in Europe.
AniHawk said:Well, Super Paper Mario is sorta the appetizer to Super Mario Galaxy anyway. And NSMB is the snack before the meal.

QFTPantherLotus said:I do have to say that FOR ONCE, FOR GOD DAMNED ONCE, N.A. got a better box art than Japan. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Look at this:
Well, the appeal of the Paper Mario style seems to be all you can do with it from a visual perspective such as when you see how thin the characters are, when they are turning and many more ideas. I like that and it's a similarity. The dimension switch thing in SPM (which is *awesome*) also falls in that department so I'm expecting other great things from the game. Just like in that video, where the player character appeared in the background. That was great as well. Well ok, I AM hyped.Eteric Rice said:The other Paper Marios really don't have much in common with this one.
