Emily Rogers: Nintendo Working on Unannounced Wii U Game [Update: Paper Mario]

Paper Mario Party Mache

No idea!

I know there are Koopa Kids.

Hmm.

I literally know nothing about this game and it would be STUPID to judge it based on such a harmless fact.

But two negative thoughts came to my mind. I think PM is best when it uses its own original villains (Grodus/Shadow Queen, Count Bleck/Dimentio), and I would hate for the boss fights of every world to just be the Koopa Kids.

That said, YES PAPER MARIO! Fingers crossed that it is good!

EDIT: OOHHH Koopa KIDS! Not KoopaLINGS! That my friends is IN FACT a different story!
 
If its a REAL Paper Mario

like a legit Paper Mario RPG by Intelligent Systems

I'm bout to lose my mothafucking mind

especially after the weaksauce Paper Jam

Just please, god, Intelligent Systems, please be an RPG worthy of the Paper Mario name.

Like, if Emily tweets three more letters, those being R, P, and G, I'm about to go absolutely nuts.

Interesting, so we are getting a Paper Mario game, despite the fact Intelligent Systems is very busy with the FE 3DS game?

Not that I think about it......Treehouse is handling the translation on that, so that gives IS time to make another game (Code Named Steam finished development early last year and FE Fates came out last summer in JP) and we are due for a new Paper Mario on consoles.

My question is if this upcoming Paper Mario is a summer game, or if its being moved to the NX this fall as a cross-gen launch game. That way 3D Mario could be pushed to spring 2017 and give that more polish (linking to the recent news that Nintendo is hiring level designers).

Interested to see what comes out of this but I hope the game is a return to TTYD formula instead of what Sicker Star and Super Paper Mario pulled.

so Paper Jam came out today? I think there'll be a Direct on Tuesday, and Trinen will be all "as you may know a new game with Paper Mario came out last week..." and then segway into the reveal. new Starfox release date, maybe a Zelda teaser, and some info about when we'll get real info about the NX? 20 minute direct?
 
Holy shit, that's way better than anything I was hoping for!

Please be like Thousand Year Door. Please let Miyamoto focus on Pikmin 4 and have him stay the hell away from this.

So, is this a Wii U game like Super Paper Mario was a GCN game?

This. THIS is what I'm thinking too; game started life as a late-life GC game but moved into a launch window Wii title.

Could easily see this happening with this rumored Paper Mario.

This thread is like someone telling you on Dec. 1 they got you a Christmas present and then an hour later just giving it to you for some reason.

I'm down for more Paper Mario though. Is it too much to hope that Nintendo releasing Superstar Saga, then Super Mario RPG, on the Virtual Console, then putting that Geno costume into Smash, might mean a Geno appearance in the new game?

Also I love all the people popping in just to say this has to release on the NX, as if there's never been any late-release software on any hardware before. C'mon guys.
 
Sticker Star is really nowhere near as bad as a lot of you guys make it out to be. It's the worst paper mario sure, and it's definitely not what a lot of fans wanted from the series, but it really isn't a bad game

Looks like the initial reactions of this are more like "oh ok, cool... but please don't be like Sticker Star" Looks like Sticker Star seriously affected the reputation of this franchise.

A new Paper Mario for Wii U totally makes sense. I recall a rumor a year ago that an Intelligent Systems developer accidentally said they were developing Paper Mario for Wii U so I'm glad this turned out to be true. Not officially announced yet but yeah.
 
I just can't help shake the feeling that this paper outing is going to be something of a filler job like Paper Jam seemed to be for the M&L series.
Here's hoping I'm completely wrong, I'm just not expecting something with the style or scope of Thousand Year Door.

Please be like Thousand Year Door. Please let Miyamoto focus on Pikmin 4 and have him stay the hell away from this.

I'm pretty sure his absence is part of why we got Super Paper Mario, which was much more in love with its jokes than actually playing better than a stock platforming engine. To me, they were basically told to stop that shit and make something utterly simply Mario after that.
 
I wish I could give a crap, but I haven't really cared that much about Paper Mario since the first one. Even TTYD was mostly meh from a gameplay/exploration perspective even if the atmospheres, story, and characters were great.

So, I guess it's great to see another Wii U game come out that I feel like I can pass on this year? More money to spend on PS4/NX.

This is fanart, not a screenshot.
But we could have something like this...

Goddamn. Sticker star looked incredible on its own. I can't wait to see how they realize the paper aesthetic on Wii U. Man.

We really needed another Mario game?
We really needed another Mario rpg?
We really needed another Paper Mario this gen?
 
This thread made me realize that we have somehow gone through TWO console generations with Wii Remote controllers and yet no Luigi's Mansion game utilizing them. What the fuck.

different strokes. playing it made me legitimately angry that I was wasting my time playing it.
 
Come to think of it, Paper Jam being homogenized into the "no original characters" state ala Sticker Star doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in this.

I'd love to have something akin to that. Easily possible on Wii U hardware (although the AA wont be that good)
