CrossEyed just reminded me: I hope this isn't the last we see of the Nintendo puppet pals.

As I explained to Sapph earlier today, I've kind of entered a catch-22 with what I want out of this game.

Assuming Paper Jam only ever uses assets from Sticker Star (and let's face it, we all have a bad feeling it will), then at most you can say that only Sticker Star takes place in a book, which would explain why in that particular game, everybody acts like Mario's world really is made of paper.

Now if anything from the games before Sticker Star makes it in, then that would mean those games took place in a book too, even though that doesn't make much sense. I say this because the first three Paper Marios have much stronger connections to the rest of the series than Sticker Star did, plus they never really treated the paper style as anything more than just that - a style. An artistic choice.

This leaves me with two possible outcomes:

1. Either they do make references to past Paper Mario games and render them "just stories in a book" in the process.

or

2. They don't make references to past Paper Mario games, thus sparing them from being cut off, but also rendering this game every bit as boring as Sticker Star was.

I really don't know which is worse for me. :\

We all know it'll be the second outcome. -.-;

I guess if you wanna stretch it you could say he's there to promote Earthbound Beginnings...?

I have a feeling the explanation we get will be vague enough that there'll be no real way to tell if if the first three games "happened" or not. As per usual.

I gotta say, the initial announcement broke my brain.

Now that I've put my brain back together, I wonder if they're implying all of the Paper Mario games take place inside books or if this is a one-time "we're only saying this to justify the weird premise" deal. I'm not really too down on Mario turning into Zelda. Or any other major nerd property, for that matter.

Gameplay-wise this looks leagues above Sticker Star, or even Dream Team. Atmosphere-wise it looks a little dull. The environments and enemies are all pretty bog-standard.

We may have already known about Super Mario Maker, but did anybody expect it to be this insane?

Also Star Fox.

Also also, I for one welcome Three Swords and Cartoony Metroid.
