The graphics are beautiful. Fits in perfectly with the material look of Woolly World and Rainbow Curse. The cardboard trees, the ? Block that's made of unevenly folded paper with a tab folded under the top flap when you hit it open, the construction paper on the ground that curls up at the corners... ugghh i kinda hate that it looks so good

The title card for that level shows two empty stars along with the percentage of colorless spots filled, so maybe that red star is actually a collectible?

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I mean it does kinda look like they might have made the locations a little less generic. Maybe. I don't know, the train seems nice, and I like that it kinda looks like a cohesiveish world map.

And when Mario lands on that top spot, it doesn't have a level number, just a name, so I was thinking "oh, maybe it's just like the SMRPG world map"...



but that's definitely an end-of-level star.

Malstrom's hatred of video game characters having "superpowers" is weird (cf that post where he says SML2 is better than Galaxy because he had to wear a helmet in space). Though I don't really see how having a taser and being physically fit is a superpower anyway.

But whatever; Samus was never supposed to be helpless without the suit:


I do think it's a shame that muscular 6'3" 198lb Samus was replaced with generic 4-foot-tall waifu Samus, but yeah.

Martin O'Malley was PM64
Jim Webb was Call of Duty
Lincoln Chafee was the shirt paint spitting minigame from Superstar Saga
Ben Carson was Trauma Center Surgeon Simulator
this analogy is getting stretched too thin now

SPM is like John Kasich -- there's actually a lot of problems when you look closer and it's not what we should go with in the future, but at least it's in the right category of thing -- the category of Paper Mario game for SPM, and the category of an adult running for president for Kasich. Trump is Sticker Star, either Rubio or Cruz is Color Splash -- they can be entertaining in their own way, but it's not what was supposed to be going on here. Bernie is Thousand-Year Door (good, though also getting really old now). Hillary is Paper Jam I guess?

I think this timeline is worse than the one where they never made any Paper Mario games after SPM. At least with F-Zero, we can dream that someday it'll come back, but if Paper Mario just becomes the Sticker Star series from now on, it can't come back.

Yeah, Dragon Quest VII looks pretty great. Oh, and Rhythm Heaven!

Let's talk about literally everything else; it's less depressing.

I'm mad at myself for letting myself get my hopes up when I heard the rumors. I mean really, I should have realized they weren't going to take the time to make an actual Paper Mario with the NX so close. But now with this, Paper Jam, and Sticker Star, I think it's safe to say that the Paper Mario we knew from the first three games -- games with a living, breathing world filled with interesting characters, with exciting stories and adventures and immersive world-building all while being clever and funny and endearing and sometimes sad -- is completely dead and replaced by this thing, much like how Donkey Kong '94 and Mario vs. Donkey Kong morphed into a weird make-your-own-Lemmings series.

"With Paper Mario, we always challenge ourselves to bring something fresh to the action-adventure genre."
Paper Mario is not an RPG anymore. It's a level-based game where Paper Mario (who is not Mario) does awkward platforming and obtuse puzzle-solving and finds Paper Toads who don't even have different spot colors. No more Goombas in college. No more penguin murder mysteries. No more corrupt wrestling federations. No more ancient alien queens. No more flower monarchs poisoning their neighboring nation. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a sticker with a picture of a boot on it stamping on a stack of Paper Toads, forever.

Federation Force looks interesting, tho

Quote from: Malstrom
Zelda is awaiting to explode. But it is the Zelda arcade action that you saw in games like Link to the Past. This Puzzle-Zelda is nothing at all what Zelda used to be.
...he thinks Link to the Past didn't have puzzles?

Look, the quick simple character-less arcadey games that Malstom wants do exist. But other types of games exist too, and that makes him mad. He's a fundamentalist.

The instructional VHS tape that came with your coffee maker is a very different kind of non-interactive audiovisual media than Star Wars, and that's okay, because there's room for different kinds of things in the same medium. You can get mad at a piece of media for being a bad example of what it's trying to be (dislike the prequels for being bad at being Star Wars, or dislike an instructional video that doesn't actually give any clear directions), but Malstrom's complaints about modern games seem more like "Empire Strikes Back is bad because it didn't tell me how my hair clipper works."

Twelve years later, that Toad kid is complaining on digibutter.nerr about not getting to play the waifu-petting game

I'll admit, I've kind of got a thing for Amerime Suicide Bomber Peachigi.



So hot, in such a confusing way.
So I agree that Peach was great in SMA, but what's wrong with being girly?
