I want to be excited, but I don't think the series is good enough to warrant Nintendo's "if it ain't broke, don' fix it" mentality--this works for some of their IP's, but not this one. Just my opinion.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Wow, that final boss theme is great. I never played any Mario & Luigi RPG game before. Are their OSTs that good?

 

[Mejilan]

If this one's like the last one, then it's an OST mostly composed by Yoko Shimomura, IIRC. And she's typically excellent.

BTW, is it this?

No spoilers in that vid. Can't vouch for the comments, though, since I'm not reading 'em.

 

[Teknoman]

So to those who've played it thus far, is it about as fun as Superstar Saga was? Never played Partners in Time, and still cant find it for a decent price.

 

[Arthrus]

He's saying "show time." Bowser says that every battle he begins.

Does that mean he moved back from comic relief to being profoundly evil again?

 

[jesusraz]

This game's so much fun - I especially enjoyed the Rhythm Tengoku style section quite early on!

Any Japanese speakers able to skim some details from that, please?

It's not her best work, of course, but it's typically stellar. Each one has about 5 short interludes, 5 scene-setters, 3 Mario remixes, 10 or so good, jaunty pieces, 5 dull tracks, and 4 or 5 fantastic tracks. Yeah, that final battle song's definitely the best thus far, though.

I can't figure out what to do!

How do you beat the guy who stands on one leg and has a barrier over him?

You need a new Bros. ability.

 

[beelzebozo]

why is this not dated for the u.s. yet

FUCK

the new one with the two sided pipe / barrel?

 

[Hobbun]

So still no date yet for NA? What is going on?

Hopefully we will definitely hear something by E3.

 

[Shiggy]

Europeans should be happy in July, at least as of today.

Shiggy's track-record proves that you don't need a source.

Do you have a date beyond July?

Well duh, but a specific date would be nice. As you can probably tell, I really want to play this game.

 

[Hobbun]

Any word on NA?

 

[soothe.]

Hell fucking yes!

Was afraid this wouldn't get a translation, especially since this seems to be a lot better than Partners in Time.

I can see it could be out at the end of June or beginning of July.

 

[HUELEN10]

I wouldn't count on June, we already have Starfy for June, and NOA kinda sucks like that...

Hey Shiggy, what is the game's name? Surely it won't stay as Mario & Luigi RPG 3, it doesn't make sense for a Western name.

 

[Hobbun]

I can see it could be out at the end of June or beginning of July.

I hope you are right.

I mean I could import it from EU if I really needed to, but would prefer to be able to buy it outright over here.

That, and I HATE European DS Cases, no offense...

 

[Hobbun]

Never have imported from EU, in what way are the cases different?

Starfy is coming out in the beginning of the month. Nintendo usually gives each game a month to sell. That's why I think we'll see it by the second week of July. I don't see them keeping the name RPG 3!!! since there isn't a Mario & Luigi RPG 2 in Amercia..heck, we don't even have a Mario & Luigi RPG 1 in America..in terms of the name anyway. It's a given that it will get a subtitle.

It really doesn't matter to me what they call it. They could name it "Mario and Luigi's Joyous Stomach Adventure" for all I care.

I just am glad we are finally hearing some info on release outside of Japan.

 

[Shiggy]

SOURCE

It's tentative only, so we should wait until E3 for a definite confirmation.

 

[Mardil]

I loved the first one on DS, and after Platinum, I'm in the mood for a light-hearted RPG. Does this one use the touch screen at all?

Partners in Time was ok. But I highly recommend Superstar Saga if you have not played it yet.

Good stuff. This game was so good in Japanese, I'll look forward to double-dipping again for the US release.

Since "Partners In Time" was a pun, what about this?


Mario & Luigi: Vore Of The Worlds


Thoughts?

War Of The Worlds?

That would be an awesome title!

I don't think there was ever a doubt at Nintendo about releasing this game in the states. It really is just a matter of getting it translated.

Well, I was wondering for a bit. I didn't think it would take this long for some kind of info on a release outside of Japan. But I am just glad there is.

[HUELEN10]

Yep, clear and slightly thicker, with bland spines.

HATE them.

 

[Hobbun]

Ok, I understand the distate for EU cases.

Don't like the clear case.

 

[Shiggy]

Ok, I understand the distate for EU cases.

Don't like the clear case.

However, you can open them with much less pressure than you need for US cases.

 

[Hobbun]

Even though the NA case can be a little hard to open sometimes, I much prefer that to having a clear case.

See, to me it is all about the spines. EUR spines are so boring!

This pretty much confirms it

Fuck, we need more files. What is the game's name?!?!?!

Thanks BTW!

I dunno it just says Mario Luigi RPG 3 on the other side of the page with some screenshots and artwork, this booklet is already a month or two old I think. It lists Another Code for may, but I don't think Mario & Luigi got delayed.

 

[beelzebozo]

late commenting on this, but it's the best news i've gotten this week thus far.

Actually, Another Code was originally planned for May, that's what NoE told some distributors
