I feel like the progression of PM64-TTYD-SPM was at least as much non-repetitive-variety-while-still-being-a-series as SMB1-SMB2-SMB3.

Mario Chat / Re: Mario & Luigi & Paper

Most of the internet hate for Sticker Star gets directed at the battle system, I think because it's the easiest thing to name and latch onto, but I really don't care about it either way. If Sticker Star had been the exact same gameplay-wise but had named characters and an actual story and Bowser and Peach had dialogue, I absolutely would have liked it. There are definitely some interesting design choices in the game, and the graphics and music were great, but I will not forgive them for taking my favorite series and removing everything I liked about it (again, not the RPG gameplay elements (I do still think removing XP made battles feel pointless, but the point in the game where I started feeling that way was around the same time that I was getting really annoyed about not having a story; if I'd been enjoying the game overall, I probably would have been less inclined to ignore battles), but the feeling of a larger coherent world, something they could have conveyed regardless of gameplay. I'm not a huge fan of Super Paper Mario's gameplay, but I liked it because I was exploring an actual world and getting invested in actual characters and got to see Bowser being a dork and Peach kicking ass, which is what Paper Mario is (of course, I would have liked it even more if it'd had interesting gameplay). If the gameplay was a falling-blocks puzzle or a side-scrolling shooter or a rhythm game or trading card battles, it would still be Paper Mario). I'd love to see them try new things, so long as they don't completely ignore every good thing about the series.

Mario & Luigi, as we showed today with Paper Jam, combines some of the world of Paper Mario, the characters and elements of gameplay there, but brings it into a role-playing game like the Mario & Luigi series.[x]
Apparently Paper Mario isn't an RPG series.

But yeah the main thing I'm thinking about right now is how Bowser's dialogue has always been the best part of the Mario RPGs and Alphadream would have to be really stupid to not get the most out of having two Bowsers now.

« on: June 16, 2015, 11:03:59 PM »I guess if you wanna stretch it you could say he's there to promote Earthbound Beginnings...?Tangentially, but every other character has another game available right now, not just from their series, but that they themselves are actually in. Marth, Roy, and Ike are available as DLC in Awakening, Street Fighter IV is on the 3DS and there's like three Street Fighter IIs on the Wii U, ROB is in Mario Kart DS, Game & Watch Gallery 1-3 and Starfox 64 3D are up... the only other game Lucas is in that's available outside of Japan is Brawl.
