Mario Chat / Re: Mario & Luigi & Paper

I'm disheartened by the unrelenting torrent of Sticker Star hate that is this thread. Sticker Star was something far more interesting than "Paper Mario again. Again." Although you all aren't, I'm very glad Intelligent Systems refused to keep making the same thing over and over and over (e.g., the mind-numbingly repetitive M&L series)
Sticker Star was a JRPG where the only battle command was THROW. That's genius. No one -ever- uses THROW (because why use up limited items when you have many unlimited forms of attacking) so they were like "Fine in this game ALL YOU CAN DO IS THROW MWAHAHAH" and thus, the developer and player are both forced to finally actually explore the design space of THROW.
I also liked the heavy adventure-game elements to Sticker Star: having a large collection of inventory items and having to figure out what and where to use them in the environment to solve puzzles. Even the boss fights were basically puzzles. Mario's never really had an adventure-genre game and this was kind of one.
It was a side-effect of the THROW-based battle system but I also like the lack of XP and stats. **** stats. They were just created so you could feel like you were getting better in RPGs because they had no actual gameplay to -actually- get better at. Exploring, going through a story, solving puzzles, that's the actual good stuff. Numbers going up is just a psychological trick not meaningful content.
Also the paper world looked rad in 3D.

Reggie puppet is not allowed to dance until NOA publishes Rhythm Heaven: The Best Plus. Proven haters of music should not be depicted dancing in puppet form.

Well, I hope this teaches Nintendo a lesson about patching.
Take next week's Hearthstone patch as a counterexample. Over the course of two weeks Blizzard revealed three new Heroes and a new mode. A patch was uploaded the very next day after the last announcement. It of course instantly got the **** datamined out of it but there was nothing unannounced.
Why didn't Nintendo wait two days?

Real Prediction:
Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus has a June 11 release date in Japan. There has still been no US announcement or mention of it in any Direct. Since it's a moderately popular series and not especially difficult to localize, this seems weird. I suspect it will be announced during the E3 Direct as a download-only "available right after this presentation".

If that SMAS 2 was happening, they wouldn't have put digital SM64 and Galaxy 2 on Wii U this year.
I'll be waiting for the same thing I do every year: Space Channel 5 Part 3
