Title: Rumor: Paper Mario DS Coming in July

Wondering what's next for the portly plumber after he races circles around your living room? Korean internet retailers have the inside track apparently, and are listing Paper Mario DS with a July 2008 release. No confirmation of this being a legit offering, or just wishful thinking. Once official word breaks, I'll let you know!

UPDATE: After reading some more into this via other reports, it seems this would be a port available only in Korea. Check out more here (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=278701).

Well.. they certainly did crank this out quickly didn't they? It's only been like a year since SPM.

You know what, just 5 minutes before coming to TMK right now, I thought, "what if they made a Paper Mario DS?" And then...

There's no way this is happening.

There's no way this is happening.
  • With a July release, we would have heard about it before now.
  • If it's supposed to be a port of the N64 Paper Mario, they wouldn't have it on Virtual Console for 1/3 the price.
  • If it's supposed to be a new game, the DS already has its Mario RPG.

I have to say I agree with LD on all his points. There's no way a game this big would have been able to be kept secret so close to release. If it is indeed just a "port", who would pay full price except hardcore Mario fans, unless it was simply held within the Paper Mario 64 world, but a brand new adventure? (i.e. same characters, etc).

Finally, I think I remember seeing something where Nintendo stated that Paper Mario is a console rpg series, and Mario & Luigi are meant to be the handheld rpg series.

But, who knows what could happen, eh?

The S makes this look so fake.

The dual screen 'O' sort of makes it look fake too.

Okay, so is it fake, or is it just one of those things (like the iQue) that they release in second/third-world Asian countries that's just a knock-off of an N64 game?

Possibly cool but probably (EDIT: now definitely) fake was what I thought after reading about it.
