There are three people putting their credibility on the line for this rumor. One of them posted in this thread that there are Koopa Kids in the game.
I don't know why she's getting singled out.
She's a reliable and trusted source within the Nintendo community. Get a grip.

I missed this. Who said what about the Koopalings?
Is what Emily posted all you 3 know or are there still details you haven't shared because you haven't verified them/don't want to get your sources in trouble?
EDIT: Missed your post about the Koopalings.
Several pages back, our own ShockingAlberto stated such. So all we can assume is that the Koopalings factor into the game in some way.
Alberto you know when the next direct is D:
Because sexism.
Honestly, I'd hope this kind of shit would gradually be eradicated on gaf, but sadly not.
OT: Hype! Looking forward to info

Not to doubt Emily's credibility, but there's something really weird about an RPG that hasn't even been announced yet (let alone showcased in a Direct) already being localized, unless it's really light on text.
Her tweet implies that the game is practically done. This has got to be the weirdest, quietest pre-release run-up for a Nintendo game ever.

Miyamoto says Pikmin 4 is almost finished and we haven't seen a single screenshot.
Wut? Probably just aiming for a tight Worldwide release period?? I mean it's not like WiiU can afford any more long waits. The quicker they can localize the better.
I mean I assume Nintendo have started to realise they can't only announce things which are years and years away from release.
If it's a globally released late May game for example (like MK8 and Splatoon were), it's going to be localized now. The time spans between announcement and release has been pretty short for both Pokken Tournment and TP:HD.
that's implying localization is a short process. They could be localizing alongside development as well.

So I had a nostalgia attack yesterday with the three Paper Mario games. Easily some of the best RPGs of their time.
Super Paper Mario had a ton of personality and a great OST.

Dimentio's Theme
Final Boss Theme

That's makes it even weirder. MK8 and Splatoon were both shown a year beforehand at E3. This is the first we're hearing of a Wii U Paper Mario. Also, Pokken is an arcade port and TP HD is a GameCube remaster.
This just flies in the face of how Nintendo usually handles games. Mario Tennis and AC: Amiibo Party were as rushed and hasty as they get, and even those were shown at E3 and directs beforehand.

Maybe there's no text.

Please remember that we saw Code Name STEAM for the first time fully voiced in English (voice recording started in 2013, according to Wil Wheaton) with text also done 8-9months before it came out.
E3 2015 was going to be about games releasing in 2015 and early 2016. Both Iwata and Trinen said that prior to the E3 show.
I think that those two games were actually the only ones anounced in 2015 and launched the same year... that doesnt mean that this hypothetical Paper Mario and the maybe, for Wii U, Pikmin 4 are gonna be bad.... but I wouldnt be surprise if Pikmin 4 is just an extension of Pikmin 3, and Paper Mario doesnt improve from the GameCube one, more than the HD graphic.... (which it will be fine by me really
, both of them are great games!)Given the way things are going, I still don't think the Wii U can last past this year. As for the 3DS, it could make it to early 2017, but it probably won't get far beyond that.

This is not even the first time Nintendo has done games like this, its not like the game is coming out tomorrow, a direct is basically around the corner. It just means they're going for a worldwide release if anything.
Remember that there were Paper Mario rumors since atleast 2014 or early 2015, even shikamaru was believing that there was one in development that wasent jam

You were talking about the game hitting in May, and that definitely falls into early 2016, like it did for MK8 and Splatoon.

Not sure why you'd think that. Wii U games releasing this year and NX releasing this year aren't mutually exclusive.
If Paper Mario was announced and looked really good,
people would've cared even less about M&L: Paper Jam. Seeing how its Paper Mario mix was the main selling point.
so it makes sense to me.
May is in the middle of the year. Listen to how Trinen announces the E3 content, at 10:25 in the Micro Direct. How can that possibly be interpreted as talking about the pre-summer games of 2016?

I would think much later in the year than May. Announced in like February released in May would be absurd, but I think this would be fall at the earliest.
How is that more absurd than announcing a game on November 12, 2015 and releasing it March 04, 2016?

Is that the TP remaster? I wouldn't hold them to the same standards.

I don't think this is any indication of a NX delay. Paper Mario and Pikmin 4 are perfect examples of less popular series that can be released at the very end of a console life without causing complaints that they should have been on the new platform while still satisfying most Wii U owners for the end of the year.

I thought it was announced for August to coincide with the actual olympics.

I'm not saying I agree with the poster, that I prefer the language or that I share the opinion, but to say anyone who questions Emily Rogers's credibility is sexist is unfair. I have few feelings about her one way or another but she has made mistakes, and those have stuck with her reputation for a reason.

Well, I like the Koopalings a hell of a lot more than Bowser Jr. at least.
If I was a hopeful person it could be them pulling a TTYD and having sub-plots alongside Mario's main adventure where you play as Peach and then you play as Bowser and/or his kids.

I hope its true. Never got to play sticker star, but heard mixed things about it. Specially no followers, which I adored in Thousand Year Door. I hope it goes back to the formula.
Wouldn't mind an HD version too of that game.

Donkey Kong returns was announced at E3 in june 2010 and was released in like November of that year, similarly for tropical freeze until it was delayed until feb
Emily is one of three people who backing this rumour, apparently from multiple unrelated sources. Even if she isn't particularly credible, she's saying the same thing as others that are.
Please tell us about your involvement with this game
i'd be annoyed if Bowser doesn't talk again.
I mean, he even talks in 3D Mario Platformers.
What a weird decision.

Five months is still greater than three months.
Asking why the hype was "killed" already shows why it had to be said because people would be overhyping themselves into oblivion which leads to stupidity when it's not anything they wanted. Like that Sega classic's thread where people were overhyping themselves speculating about a classic game series when it was really about the localization of the 3D classics for retail.

I do hope IS listened to the fans and make a new game in the vain of the first two.
Those are still good, they don't feel old or outdated, we don't need new wacky concepts to keep it selling.
Would be super exciting if I see party members and classic turn based style

Has there been a confirmation of its release date? All I know is that the 3DS version is due in March. I originally thought Pokken would get the May date, but obviously that didn't happen. Though again, I don't think it matters too much in the big picture.
Game was prob in development for a while, I wonder why they are waiting so long to announce it.
Maybe they are gonna release a NX version
Like I mentioned before, if they announced it before 2015 E3 and it looked it good, it would take some luster off of Paper Jam: whose main selling point was "wow!! Paper Mario in M&L universe". And hurt sales.
Like, if we were getting a lot of Zelda U clips, gameplay, trailers, blowouts, etc in 2014, I think it could've negatively affected Hyrule Warriors sales imo. Those two would be different genres, but I think the point stands.
