No love for TMS #FE? (Wow it feels weird calling it that)
Oh wow I just realized it's SMT backwards

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.

As the universe's only Sticker Star fan, I'm not enraged.

I still think SPM wasn't that good. Its flow is awful, its character design and stories mostly forgettable, most of its worlds not very interesting.

This, coming from someone who originally really liked it and changed his mind over time

If Color Splash takes Sticker Star's battle system and actually improves it, I might buckle down and play it. Not even joking.

Super Paper Mario is a game I really need to replay.

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?

Why does everything have to be politics?

It's just what's on everyone's brain lately. And it made for a funny post. Good on you, CrossEyed.

So what you're saying, CE, is that the future is Trump.

Anyway, I just don't know what to think with Miyamoto anymore.

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

But in all seriousness, it sucks that the PM franchise is a lost cause, but I actually liked what I saw from the Direct overall.

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.

That looks more like the red star from Mario Galaxy.

At the very least I can say this looks visually better than Sticker Star.

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?

Kinda unrelated, but it bugs me that this is always called Paper Mario: Splatoon.
A better comparison would be Paper Mario: de Blob.
Though if this game does end up being more like TTYD, as improbable as it may be, then that would be excellent.
