Paper Mario Series

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

I honestly don't think the Toad is a partner. However, the Chain Chomp could have just been beta design and they hadn't created the uniqueness yet.

That being said, I like the partner-sticker thing, but I'd rather the partners to have characteristics

[TDawg]

Lol I love Paper Mario. I need to replay the 3 before the 3ds one comes out.

[AudinoGlitch]

I'm glad there's gonna be another addition. Can't wait to see a toad actually fight for once.

and don't base your opinion of the game on the damn soundtrack, which isn't even an extremely important part of the game.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

We'll just have to wait and see. If the game comes out after E3 2012, hopefully we get a lot of info at E3 2012.

Probably going to end up buying Paper Mario from the Virtual Console Service when I get a chance to buy a 2000 points Wii Card (yes, I know it is only 1000 Wii Points, but I'm also going to get Super Smash Bros.).

Loving the theme music for Paper Mario 3DS.

Really? It sounds like the theme song for a show that's for six year olds

....It does sound like something for that, but the song does sound a little bit catchy to me.

By god you're right!
This makes it the worst thing ever known to man! How could anyone EVER like such a thing?!

[Charze]

Well its not like we aren't gonna buy a game because of ONE soundtrack we heard. It'll just be awesome as we expect it to be.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

I'm a bit disappointed that Paper Mario was unmentioned in Nintendo's list of upcoming game's releases. Does that mean we may be getting it later than we thought?

[lindsy95]

Maybe. I find it kinda annoying PM was one of the games I was looking forward too.

[Torpoleon]

Maybe we aren't getting Paper Mario 3DS until after E3 2012, so hopefully we'll get loads of info about the game at E3. Nintendo does have a decent amount of games coming out before E3 at least.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

Yknow, I really think Nintendo doesn't care much for this game. They didn't show a trailer at e3, only on their website, and they haven't been advertising it that well.

Nevertheless, it doesn't lower my expectations it's just something I'm pointing out.

What is lowering my expectations is the lack of partners.

Obviously, they're working on it for last. I can probably say the same to Smash Bros. 4.

Dear god, man, you seem to hate the series a lot or something.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

I love love love love Paper Mario. TTYD is my favourite game of all time. I just feel really unconfident about the most recent one. I hope I'm wrong though!

[Torpoleon]

The reason Paper Mario 3DS wasn't a main focus this year is probably because IT IS COMING OUT IN 2012 (probably near the end).

Now I'm hoping E3 2012 comes faster, or some other thing earlier with a new Paper Mario 3DS trailer showing partners (even though previous trailers have already shown partners, but when a game isn't coming out until probably around a whole year or so, you begin to question what happened in the trailers, according to Electivire Addict it seems). We have seen partners by the way. As I probably pointed out already, maybe trailers showing Mario partner-less aren't without partners when the game finally comes out, but they just want to show Mario by himself or he doesn't have partners at that particular point in the game.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

I really hate being a devil's advocate to such a fascinating series, but I must say, I do feel pessimistic. Anyway, here I go:

(even though previous trailers have already shown partners

They could not be partners. Someone suggested that the Chain Chomp is just a sticker, the Toad is like Flavio following you, and the crown is some item or something. I mean, the Chain Chomp and Toad look too normal to be partners, but that could just be their beta design.

but when a game isn't coming out until probably around a whole year or so, you begin to question what happened in the trailers, according to Electivire Addict it seems).

I'm just saying Nintendo doesn't care about this game as much as others. Luigi's Mansion 2 also isn't coming out for awhile, yet they showed a trailer at the previous E3. For Paper Mario, they just put it on their site. Then again, the reason why they've been not showing that much about Paper Mario is that they're taking their time to make it good.

See comment above

[As I probably pointed out already, maybe trailers showing Mario partner-less aren't without partners when the game finally comes out, but they just want to show Mario by himself or he doesn't have partners at that particular point in the game.

Realistically, I doubt that. We see Mario in many various areas without partners. If there are, they probably just removed it so they wouldn't spoil anything.

Again, I'm just expressing my doubts. But I really want to be wrong here. But after the whole Partners in Time/Bowser's Inside Story ordeal not being able to measure up to Superstar Saga it's ruined my hope in recent Mario RPG's

[lindsy95]

Eh, I'm having doubts about unique partners. Maybe a sticker thing. But I find that disappointing if true.

[Magical Pokemon]

I'm really exited for Paper Mario 3DS. Sorry, I don't have anything else to say since I haven't looked it up in a while.

[Thriller]

After the insult that was Super Paper Mario, I am really looking forward to a return to the RPG format of Paper Mario and am also looking forward to the new twists in gameplay. The "Stage Format" of TTYD was INGENIOUS!

[Aveil]

ah, it seems everyones getting skeptical about partners :S

After the insult that was Super Paper Mario

Dude, it wasn't that bad
