Paper Mario Series

Sticker Star seems like a cool name for the game. Glad to know it got an official name and reconfirmation of a Late 2012 release. Hoping to see tons of more info tomorrow.

By the way, I was on Nintendo' E3 website and noticed some cool pics on Paper Mario: Stick Star. Doesn't this art look nice? Seems the crown shaped character is called Kersti. Kersti seems to be Mario's first partner in the game. The description is the same for all the pictures by the way.

We've gone from stars to stickers....


....Uh, OK?

I just beat chapter 2 of Paper Mario!

Either that, or he/she is basically the tippi of this game, which you use to place stickers in place where needed and that there are no other partners in game or you can only use certain partners in certain areas. Though I really wish this didn't happen.

But then again, it does say a cast of colorful characters will keep players laughing at every turn, so I'll be hopeful about it.

Sticker Star looks really disappointing. The plot sounds generic, no sign of partners, Bowser seems to be the main villain and the whole game is focused on stickers...... And I was hoping this could almost be as good as TTYD.

After three games with partners (shut up, SPM still counts), I doubt they'd just throw them away like that.

I want that Chain Chomp partner....

That, and a Shy Guy. Hey, he could be the new Goomba!

Honestly, if partners aren't gone, I want all the ones in this game to completely new species.

No more Koopas. We've had three between the first two games.

Time to be a downer.

Here's the storyline for Sticker Star:

"On the day of the annual Sticker Fest, Bowser decides to pull a prank and scatters six Royal Stickers across the land. To retrieve these mysterious, magical stickers, which are now stuck onto Bowser and his underlings, Mario sets off on an adventure with Kersti, a sticker fairy, visiting prairies, deserts, forests, snowy mountains and volcanoes around the world."

Okay I'm really mad. I love Paper Mario for their excellent stories but this seems simpler than the first game! I mean what the hell. Having Bowser just generically attack seems like a Galaxy story where it's just an excuse of a plot which seems out of character for the Paper Mario series. And aren't there supposed to be seven things you collect, not 6? And the areas you go to are supposed to be dynamic and stuff, but these just seem like generic world areas pulled out of New Super Mario Bros. I mean is there even going to be any dialogue in this game!? I mean so far we've shown none.

I may just be jumping to conclusions seeing as we haven't seen much, but to me this game looks more and more to be much much worse than super paper mario. I think I've said this before, I don't care for the stickers, I don't care for the gameplay, I just want complexity

;tldr;:

I mean seriously what the hell is with intelligent systems. Sigh....

When (or if) I get a 3DS Sticker Star seems like something I'd get. Paper Mario on the go sounds fun.

i hate this game

You're not that mad, stop fooling yourself into thinking you are. At least wait until we have more info before you tl;dr about how horrible the game looks.

I'll probably pick this up if I ever get a 3DS, I actually think the use of stickers sounds interesting, but I'll definitely miss the partners if they get rid of them.

I can't hate something I have never played. I'm just completely let down from what I've expected.

And honestly story is the most important thing to me about this new game. The gameplay looks kind of cool but it won't be special to me as the other paper marios are if it doesn't have a good story. Even Super Paper Mario will be better.

I know Chuggaaconroy is doing SMP, and the only one I beat is TTYD. I came close to beating SMP, and I'm only around chapter 6 or 7 in the original.

The sticker stare gameplay looks good I guess. For those who didn't watch here's some interesting info:
-There's no menu selection anymore. All commands are via stickers
-There's no more exp from battles. Your HP increases via you guessed it...stickers! You get that by doing puzzles and helping NPC's. Not sure what the purpose of battling anymore is though, maybe for money to by stickers.
-What interested me the most is in the eshop trailer, you can see Mario arriving to a dead end, jumping at a glowing star and it says "goal". This makes me think that the chapter structure is like Super Paper Mario, with sub chapters and whatnot. It's a shame, I like backtracking...

Overall my feelings remain mixed, but as long as it has a good story and content I'm sure to enjoy it. I'm not as upset about it as I was yesterday

Glad to update all 2 of you who actually care about this game

No EXP? RUN FROM EVERY BATTLE.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

Battling is now probably for coins which can be used to buy stickers. That's my theory at least. Other than that I have no clue what the point of battling is

I guess but it looks like most stickers are found outside of shops.

I love it when people tell other people how they really feel.

They seem to be mostlyJump and Hammer and stuff. Maybe the big ones like Fan are shop only.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

But yeah I never like the aspect of grinding for money. I don't like having a lot of money because it's too much to keep track of. If money is the only thing that's important for battling I will probably try to avoid most battles. Idk
