Why does Luigi sleep in his work clothes?

 

[Nekofrog]

they're going to fuck it up. they fucked up paper mario 3ds.

Who is "they"? Intelligent Systems and AlphaDream are not the same developer.

I guess Miyamoto could step in like he did for Sticker Star and demand that the game have no dialog or something equally stupid, and that would be pretty bad.

The mario and luigi rpg series and paper mario series isn't make by the same people.

I shudder at the thought of Miyamoto having his way with this game tho.

That would be a nightmare

 

[heyf00L]

The battles are 2D sprites and the overworld is 3D. That's what it looks like to me.

 

[zroid]

DAYUM. I want it so bad.
But first, get a 3DS. And also get the money for it. Hmmmm....

don't forget about the free game download promotion if you pick up an XL along with Luigi's Mansion or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. It's a pretty good time to jump in!

Star Fox 64 3D
Freaky Forms Deluxe
Art Academy
Professor Layton Miracle Mask

Valid from March 21 - April 30th.

Has Miyamoto ever gotten involved with M&L games?

 

[KingK]

Hell yes. So glad I just bought an XL last week.

 

[george_us]

None of the previous Mario and Luigi's did anything for me but this looks pretty awesome. Might be enough to get be to re-buy a 3DS.

Rock Paper Scissors battle system. Only established Mario enemies. No Luigi jokes.

 

[Soriku]

Spoiler

Please keep Miyamoto away from RPGs lol.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I doubt it'll be story/dialogue-less when there's Starlow/Chippy in the video. This doesn't look like a neutered M&L RPG.

 

[demidar]

That sounds terrible, especially the not shitting on Luigi part.

Can't believe Sticker Star got rid of its RPG-ness.

 

[Aeana]

Obviously they'll remove battle rewards then!
No more putting points into 'stache!

 

[Kouriozan]

Spoiler

Yup.
I want a real RPG.

 

[Glass Rebel]

How can you even suggest such a thing?!

edit: I also noticed my typo. Mexican Starlow would be pretty cool though.

That what happened to Paper Mario 3DS. The first gameplay looked like it was back to form.

 

[smuf]

Graphics look horrible compared to the beautiful sprite work of the old games.

 

[metalslimer]

Luckily I think Alpha Dream will be doing their own thing since they aren't in the same building as Nintendo like Intelligent Systems.

 

[Aeana]

That what happened to Paper Mario 3DS. The first gameplay looked like it was back to form.

Yes, which is one of the reasons why I don't like it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Miyamoto is like the anti-Kojima. Which can be a good thing most of the time, except for RPGs. Jesus.

 

[Kokonoe]

Rock Paper Scissors battle system. Only established Mario enemies. No Luigi jokes.

It seems I dodged a bullet with that game.

Bought. Superstar saga is one of the best games ever made.

Absolutely.

 

[DragonKnight]

Bought. Superstar saga is one of the best games ever made.

 

[Easy_D]

yeah, sprites are definitely better

but it's not terrible

What kills me are the seemingly pre-rendered sprites.

 

[BGBW]

Mario and Luigi is less likely to be fiddled with since it is going from handheld to handheld. Paper Mario was changed because it was going from console to handheld and apparently changes were needed to reflect this. Apparently.

 

[Currygan]

FUCK


OUT OF GODDAMNED NOWHERE


YES YES OHH YES

 

[Magicpaint]

I do hope Miyamoto stays the hell away... M&L series has always been on handhelds though, so I don't think the Sticker Star situation is likely.

 

[Remachinate]

Please Nintendo, don't butcher the story and writing like you did with Sticker Star.

That's my only worry when it comes to this game.

That's what's going to make or break it for me. The biggest appeal of the Mario RPGs for me has been the clever writing, and it was disappointing to hear Sticker Star flubbed it. Maybe this is what gets me to finally invest in a 3DS.

 

[plc268]

I guess it's time to play through Bowsers Inside Story real quick... it's the only M&L game I haven't played yet, and by most accounts, it's the best in the series.

 

[Aeana]

Noooo. Luigi's always got the stache points since mario already has good strength..

 

[prwxv3]

It is. Playing as Bowser in a turn based RPG is pretty amazing.


I hope they bring back the accessory that allows you to double your EXP if you don't get hit. It was pretty fun doing that for bosses in Superstar Saga.

 

[Beelzebub]

Since Paper Mario has been going downhill since the first two games I hope this brings back some Mario rpg goodness that I personally care for. I didn't really get into the sequels but the GBA game is one of my favorites.

 

[Meccanical]

Aw shit a new Mario and Luigi game.

AW SHIT Starlow's back.

 

[Kokonoe]

Aw shit a new Mario and Luigi game.

AW SHIT Starlow's back.

Wasn't happy to see him either.

 

[Darksheik]

Great news!

 

[Aeana]

Aw shit a new Mario and Luigi game.

Heartless.

 

[Meccanical]

Starlow is probably the only reason Bowser's Inside Story doesn't top Superstar Saga for me.

That and I like Superstar Saga's soundtrack more.

Heartless.

Not my fault he/she/it was annoying and unnecessary.

 

[leroidys]

Oh my damn. I think this is the clincher, will finally pick up a 3DS. They did a great (not perfect) job translating the artstyle to 3D. THIS is the mario rpg that the 3DS deserves.

 

[Hero of Legend]

My first M&L game, I'm kinda not in the DS mood, but if I adore this (likely will!) then Bowser's Inside story is mine.

Don't mind going back a gen if I love the newest one, I prefer entering either with the newest one, or an older one if bloody cheap. Shame Superstar Saga wasn't an Ambassador game, WTF Nintendo?!

Nice to see AlphaDream back in action, but I want to see perhaps a 3DS Tomato Adventure from them, something they themselves created.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Only terrible ML game is Partners in Time.

 

[jj984jj]

Assuming Shimomura is returning to do the soundtrack as well I wonder what kind of music she'll deliver on 3DS hardware.

 

[Joeshabadoo]

I think the art looks great.

Super excited for this one

 

[ffdgh]

Wasn't happy to see her either.

fixed.
As annoying as she was, I enjoyed her insults toward bowser and luigi.

 

[Meccanical]

Assuming Shimomura is returning to do the music as well I wonder what kind of music she'll deliver on 3DS hardware.

From what little I can hear of the music in the trailer it certainly sounds like her.

 

[Nekofrog]

yes. that is what i was referring to.

It's true.

Still need to play BIS. PIT really soured me on the series.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Fffffffffuuuuccckkkkk. I need this.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Official M&L ranking

Oh come on, it wasn't terrible just average even more than average at some points.
