Glorious. Incredibly hyped.
It was, but, you know, Nintendo loves their exceptions. And, with NA and EU we got a Wii U eShop announcement what with Skyward Sword.

Most anticipated game for me next few months is a Wii U game lol (this) and potentially throughout the whole year (keeping expectations in check for FF XV though that may end up delayed again)
Xeno X and Tokyo Mirage are 2 of my favorite RPG's in years, as of now Wii U has been a better JRPG platform for me than my X1 and PS4. (Could change though as more PS4 JRPG's come out)

What a shame that they made such a good looking game only to keep sticker star/paper jams insistence on nigh on every important paper npc being a damn toad.
I'm now imagining 2016 Nintendo making the original SMB. Red Toad and Green Toad go on an adventure to save Pink Toad from the castle after she was kidnapped by Black Toad. On the way they have to avoid deadly Brown Toad on the ground and White Toad flying around in clouds

Game is looking beautiful, so looking forward to it.
The giant coin bit was hilarious XD

Excellent parody post.
Looks good, but something feels...off. I don't know if it's the lighting, or the color palette, or what, but even the scenes that feel like they should be bright and sunny feel off. (And I know a core mechanic is restoring vibrancy to the world, I mean even the areas that look restored look a bit dim)

But whole post?
Yeah, the aesthetic is nice but the color palette looks weirdly dark.

More people like than franchise than ever before.
By the way: Color Splash looks fantastic, seems to have good gameplay and a witty dialogues. Has a good chance to expel Super Paper Mario from throne as best Paper Mario of all time.
Neither was the US one.
How about that NES Classic Edition and Skyward Sword Wii Download?

So much time and care went into making the game look visually good but it can't hide the grotesque sticker made shell it is built on.
By what metric?More people like than franchise than ever before.

Weird to see so many opposite opinions
Loved thousand year door and this looks like the best next thing since that game to me
Looks great, and the insane combat "summons" are really cool

I'm simply loving everything about this game. What it may lack in being "true" to the series it compensates with how beautiful and polished this looks. There's clearly a lot of love put into this game and I couldn't be more excited.
Also, I love the little details like this in an earlier trailer

Still vastly prefer the art style of the original PM and TTYD to this. The white outlines are the most unwelcome, but it might also have a lot to do with the generic environments seen so far and the camera giving it less of a diorama feel. I'd lurve a new PM, but this is stoking no enthusiasm in me whatsoever.

Yeah, they've been turning me around on this. Looks fun, gorgeous, music's lovely so far, and I've been enjoying the humor. Hope more characters like the Rescue Squad show up throughout.
I lament what it lost, but I'll stay optimistic about this. Looks like a good time.

Im not gonna be the first to defend this game but the white outline makes a tiny bit of sense if the game is focused around characters getting the color sucked out of them.
I hate the outlines and overall animations too. TYD had a silky smooth presentation.

As someone who never loved the RPG mechanics of the Mario RPG games this still looks great.
I need to play Sticker Star in the coming weeks to see what the fuss was about.

Kind of sad that everyone is just letting a game slide because it looks pretty.
The gameplay and character variety look unchanged from Sticker Star, no matter what footage i watch. Painting the world is the only part i kind of like. Paper gimmicks is not why Paper Mario got popular either.
Youll get a few laughs from the dialogue and get to treat your eyes to nice visuals for 60 bucks. I guess thats what people want?

The game looks good. Really good. But fuck, Sticker Star looked good for the 3DS and it was probably the most irredeemably disappointing game I've ever played in my life, not a word of hyperbole. I can't help but be sceptical about this.
I am not letting it slide because it looks pretty, I am letting it slide because from what I have seen the game actually has charm and the battle system looks to be fun and better than sticker stars.
I don't think that I will regret getting this game when it launches.
You are downplaying a game that you haven´t played yet. Looks like a lot of care went into it. Looks great and polished. People like what they see. Simple.
This is unnecessary. Is it really that hard to believe that people might be seeing aspects of the game that appeal to them but don't to you?
The implication that anyone who is positive towards the game is only doing so because they've been turned by the pretty graphics isn't fair.
I'm pretty sure the original Paper Mario team has split from the series in terms of directors. This is a whole new team which is why the games design wise seem like intern quality experiments.

Well I aint play sticker star so I dont give a damn.. Day 1
Sticker Star is already out which is what this games foundation is built on.
I watched the E3 gameplay and the battle system is extremely similar with the only addition being having to fill in cards with paint before using them. It also has the world map, end goals and "things" from that game too. Hell they even use the same exact gag from SS with a ton of toads pouring out of an enclosed space.
People are confifdent that they have balanced the game better and added incentives to fight enemies. That is the main gripe with SS as far as im concerned. It is outherwise a fantastic game This crusade to have poeple shit on a game that looks charming as hell is out of hand. If you are unsure about it, wait for impressions. For the rest of us that feel excited, what we see is enough to warant a purchase and positive outlook.
