Isn't Sticker Star something like the best-selling Paper Mario anyway?

It's pretty clear that something as adventurous with the Mario IP as Rogueport will never happen in a Mario game again.
No.
Super Paper Mario is.
The only accolade Sticker Star has is being the lowest reviewed one. Well, and being the first handheld one. Hooray.
You have to be psychic to know what stickers you need to bring with you into battle. The boss battles are pretty much puzzles that require those special stickers and if you don't have them you're pretty much dead.
But we don't know that for sure. It uses things but for all we know they addressed the issues that made things a problem in Sticker Star. As long as you don't have to backtrack and re-collect things every time you use one it should be fine. They should be in your inventory permanently and have a cost to use.

Wow, so much negativity over the game which doesn't even have a trailer...
Can we all at least agree that this game looks gorgeous?
The game looks exactly like an HD Paper Mario which I've dreamt about since the artwork for Paper Mario: Sticker Star:
It's the first Wii U game for a very long time which managed to impress me visually. I am pretty sure I haven't experienced this since E3 2014.

God that looks hideous (compared to the new game)
The battle gameplay they showed looks exactly like sticker star. You collect
The trailer shows that you have to use your paint to color in the card to use it in battle, the saem paint you need to use to color in the world to progress.
In Japan it is.
For a lot of us, what we saw actually said plenty about the game.
It looks good, although a bit darker than I expected.
At this point I don't know who's worse between Metroid fans crying over Federation Force or Paper Mario fans crying over this game.
Neither game's out yet. They're different from their predecessors. It's best to wait and see how they turn out before getting all huffy about it.
Geez.

This game isn't different than it's predecessor, that's the problem a lot have with it.
Clearly we can never get enough Toads!
They aren't even different colored anymore.
All I can hear is the sound of Bfffrrraahhwoohooooooo and WEeheeeeheheeeeeeeeee!!!
Kill me!
Yeah a horrible pixelated screenshot isnt a good way to represent TYD.
But lets say that the game did look hideous, it still looks like a true sequel to the 64 title just because of all the extra characters in that shot.

Well, most of the footage was in the zone with sucked-out colours, with Mario restoring the colours with his hammer. I believe the game world will be more bright as we progress through the game.

Actually, this one needs to be more different from it's predecessor.

i dont give a damn about Federation Force but we have already got 2 different paper mario games that aren't like the first two, sure super paper mario wasn't bad but i wouldn't say it was better that the first two and don't even get me started on sticker star
problem isn't people aren't letting try to be something different, they already know what something different is and they don't want it

Actually, I don't really like the style of the game, haha. A couple of people have mentioned it before, but there's something about the design that looks like it was one of those "_____ in Unreal Engine 4" projects. I'm also not a fan of how much they lean on the paper theme. I get that things are made of paper, but I don't think they need to give everything that cardboard look. I felt the same about Tearaway. I prefer the look of the earlier games. Sorry. Could be rose-tinted glasses and such.
At least Metroid is a shooter lol.
I'm...not even sure what this is.
About the graphics, it's weird. They look nice, but they almost look....too "papery". Like, the world feels kinda confined. Like that screenshot posted before. But we'll have to see more maps

yeah, same. TTYD and Sticker Star had a nice balance of graphics. Not too papery like tearaway (it works for tearaway though).
Hope the OST is good...

I feel like the action/adventure aspects could be fun so long as they're not too similar to Sticker Star. We'll see! I prob won't buy it but ye
Clearly we can never get enough Toads!
They aren't even different colored anymore.
We've come a long way in terms of character designs for Toad.
Although Sticker Star is praised for this... I don't really care about the cardboard world aesthetic. I'm fine either way. You can do cool things with it, but it makes things look a bit "fake" (ha) in a series that did so much to flesh out the Mario world. But I won't dock points from Color Splash for that.

Please, there have been tons of swan song 'end of console cycle' games before from Nintendo with lots of ambition even excluding Twilight Princess and the upcoming Zelda due to cross platform.

It's not different than it's predecessor. It's very similar to a predecessor that was negatively received by many fans.
I don't really see why fans aren't allowed to be upset that the new game takes after the one the majority of people disliked rather than the ones that the majority of people liked. I also don't see how any negative reception to an unreleased game is now considered "whining".
But the problem in Sticker Star was that if you used a thing sticker the sticker would leave your inventory and you'd have to go collect the thing again and transform it into a sticker again.
If thing cards stay in your inventory and just cost x amount of paint to use then that fixes the main problem with them.

Man with half the threads after the Direct it feels like you people don't even like video games. Paper Mario "not a real Paper Mario" Metroid Federation Force "not a real Metroid" it's like Christ, there's no way a game could be fun or okay unless it fits this hyper-specific set of criteria. Ya'll gotta find a way for the announcement of a video game to not make you MISERABLE like this. This shit's supposed to be FUN.
Maybe it's not exactly what you would have liked but the anger, the disgust, is wholly uncalled for.

I don't understand why a lot of these people simply don't... expand their gaming horizons. There are TONS of modern alternatives to classic Nintendo franchises today if you own other systems.
Paper Mario -> South Park: Stick of Truth, Steven Universe iOS, etc (Mario & Luigi could even be argued
)Metroid -> Axiom Verge, Shantae, Toki Tori, etc
Zelda -> Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc
F-Zero -> Wipe Out
Get out there and get a new system. I love Nintendo to death but it's becoming more and more apparent to me that outside of Zelda, there's not much for me on Nintendo consoles anymore. Once you get over this fact and expand your horizons, you will likely be a much happier gamer.
We've come a long way in terms of character designs for Toad.
This hurts more than anything else in this announcement.
Ye it does look really good but Paper Mario is all about the gameplay.
This one is pretty mean, lol.

It'd be pretty simple and would probably shut a lot of fans up if Nintendo simply released a remake of Paper Mario 1 ala OoT 3D with these new graphics, a higher difficulty option, and maybe a few extra goodies. They already have a decent amount of work cut out for them, with all the animations for many lead characters and enemies done already.
I know I'd probably buy it.

As a counter, I don't get the "Stop being so angry," "No speculation about the game please, you've only seen a trailer", "You haven't played it yet", "You just want the old game again" type posts that are made in relation to those two games.
A lot of people aren't happy with what they're seeing, or (specifically in this game's case) played Sticker Star and really didn't like it, and are sad that the new game is seemingly just like it. Why shouldn't they be commenting negatively about it if they have a negative impression of it? Why should their negative opinions get brushed off as "just whining that the game isn't exactly like a previous game" or, as you put it, it doesn't "meet a specific criteria"? Asking people to wait for a game to be out to react to any media about a game is pretty ridiculous.
I mean, Star Fox Zero is probably a better game now than it would have been if it didn't get so much negative reception last year.
Well, PM has been about gameplay, graphics, music, writing, characters, etc all equally.
but just having graphics (and probably music) isn't gonna cut it lol.

I think they are going to make a by the numbers grass/desert/water/etc paper Mario because Wii U .
Yeah, this isn't Paper Mario. It looks nice, but the Paper Mario I know is an RPG. They obviously didn't get the memo from the last game.

What does the Wii U have to do with it?

No problem with people commenting negatively whatsoever. "Boy, I wish this had been more like TTYD, kind of a bummer." Now, "God damn gimmick. I want a normal Paper Mario," that's where people need to re-evaluate their priorities.
