If it's closer to the first two games I'm in. Not interested if it is like the more recent two.

Looking forward to it. Nintendo usually does a Direct early on the year. Most of them around Valentine's day.

Designing the next Paper Mario game to be off-the-wall is a calculated risk because it appeases loyal fans.

If this is a true to form Paler Mario like the first two I couldn't be more on board. Which is why I won't be getting my hopes up just yet

I am guessing it is like Tamaki's other videos where he reports rumors.

Please don't be a paper Mario themed amiibo board game.

TBF, if this lead to Paper Mario amiibo I'd be okay with this
So what you're telling me is that Retro Studios is NOT working on Metroid Prime but on Paper Mario instead.

Yeah, I lost track of months briefly. I think there will be a Direct in February.
Well, lets look at their last announcements:
Code Name S.T.E.A.M.: Revealed at a Press-only event, got word of what it was, everyone imagined something like a cross between Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, first images came up and we got a Comics look instead, no animu no buy. (I loved the game btw)
SMT X FE: Pure hype, everyone excited. New trailer, it become Persona Idols Adventure Featuring Fire Emblem reimagined characters. (Again, I loved the trailer)
Paper mario Sticker Star: No Story, No companions, not an RPG (Again, I liked the game for what it was)
Fire Emblem Fates: Like Awakening, but even more anime. People ignoring that its gameplay is more challenging and more varied, similar to classic fire emblem games.
To say the least, people want more of the same. A shame, really. The only one I can honestly understand the hate is Sticker Star, even if I enjoyed it.

Paper Koopalings are an awesome idea though.
I thought we knew early on that SMTxFE was atlus only though?
I agree with him though. PM is great because it's original characters.
Koopalings seem like a bad sign, but I have hope.
heck, great writing can make the koopalings great, but I hope there's a different main enemy than bowser.

All 7 Koopalings were in Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga and that game had original characters

Absolutely zero faith in this right now. It'll be a 2D platformer or something with no partners and no charm.
They can easily be a single Boss Battle, with all 7/8 or them at the same time. imagine a Mech with different parts you can target, each controlled by a single Koopaling, Bowser Jr as the head, of course.
At least we know the music will be good.
That's pretty much all we can be sure of.
And that it'll be called Paper Mario...well, in the west.
If they're fleshed out they may as well be original.
Oh wow, we've already got 2 Mario & Luigis this gen, and 1 Paper Mario, and now we're getting another!?
What a time to be alive. Then again, with the poor reception the recent Mario RPGs have received here, maybe not.
I've loved all the recent Mario RPGs though, so I'm actually really excited for this. PM/TTYD style, Sticker Star 2, another experiment, whatever it is, I'm sure to take it and love it. And Koopalings too? Sign me up! Can't wait for Monday.

The koopalings could be the boss of a single chapter. I could see IS making them a Power Rangers/Sentai parody by having you fight all 7 at once and then giving them a megazord as the final phase of the boss fight.

Isnt Atlus the main Developer of SMT X FE? I wouldn't count that one anyways since it's neither of those two thngs, since its its own thing.
If the main complaint its the art style, then they'll be okay because its Paper Mario
If we want to talk about Alpha Dream instead of Intelligent Systems, there's a very recent example that goes the other way.
I feel like the exact opposite.
It's not the type of game that I replay frequently, so I ask myself "did I legitimately put that as my game of the year?".
Then I play again. "Yeah, I did".
Alpha Dream are definitely a more consistent developer for the Mario RPGs in comparison to Intelligent Systems who experimented with Super Paper Mario and Sticker Star, as all five Mario & Luigi games have similar gameplay. It's not like the developers are incapable of making original characters and settings as Dream Team was recent, and was full of those elements.
If this rumor is true, then I guess we'll see how this is handled ultimately.
I'm assuming they're fairly prominent.
The only info we've gotten about the game is that it exists, is being localized, and koopalings. That kind of leads to believe they play a big part, but i may be reading into it too much.

SMT x FE is an Atlus / Nintendo joint. No IS. But Vanpool was literally 50/50 the development staff on the last Paper Mario.

If it's in the localization/testing phase already, that's a definite nope.

whoa when did we get anything about the koopalings
Sticker star was an 'RPG'
Let me rephrase that to 'RPG with Partners'. :^)
Also, yeah, where is the Koopalings talk coming from?
Shocking Alberto, one of the leakers.
He just said they're there which could mean a lot.
The gameplay is pretty great. Everything else however, aside from a couple of music tracks, is incredibly bland. Probably that.

Well thats good news, you guys might get your PM 3, still Super Paper Mario was great and unfair to judge against PM 1 and 2 as it plays way too different.
IS usually has great gameplay in their games, polarizing but mostly great.
Hell I'm impress what they did after awakening

It's a valid worry, I think, at least in this day and age.
Maybe the Koopalings are your teammates. Maybe Mario and the Koopalings throw a coup d'état of the Koopa Kingdom to oust Bowser Jr..
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a Super Paper Mario sequel if it wasn't piss-easy like the last and didn't put a shoujo romance at the center of the plot. How many games are there were Mario dies, goes to hell, and has to fight his way up? But the Wii U has enough platformers right now.

Please be like the first 3
Please play like the first 2
Please have partners
Preferably partners that are actual Mario creatures
No abstract fairies pls
Nah, just Sticker Star. Paper Jam and Dream Team are both really good IMO. SPM while different, is also really good IMO.

It worked fine for Mario and Luigi.

If it's anything like the first two games, I will literally scream for joy.
Every Paper Mario game, except Sticker Star, has been good. Sticker Star could've been better if it were similar to Super Paper Mario instead of its own thing. I just want to get some Star Points again
And partners, we need partners again!
