Sad but true - this has been moved to Wii and delayed.

In a way I'm glad they delayed it, that will give them more time to do some cool things with the Wimote without rushing it.

Yeah, but then it will launch awfully close to Mario Galaxy, unless that is delayed until well into next year..

bah... I really, really wanted a platformer that was traditional but at the same time it wasnt, which is what Super Paper Mario looked like. Now lets wait and see how this turns out, the kind of remote functionalities they are going to put in intrigues me, I hope they don't end up being crammed into the game just for the sake of it.

That is true, but maybe Nintendo will spread them out a couple months apart (probaly releasing Super Paper Mario first) that should be more than enough time to get the majority of sales out of SPM.

Bump

Nintendo is still saying it's a gamecube game

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

You’ll be glad to hear that Super Paper Mario will still be a Nintendo GameCube game. However, the release date has changed. It is now listed as 4th Quarter (October, November, or December) 2006. As always (and you may have already read this)....

Stevey,

I still think I'm going to believe Nintendo Japan's web site over a random Nintendo rep responding to an email.

here...

The LEAST reliable source for up-to-date Nintendo info (besides Spong) is Nintendo's customer service department. All they're going off is the public database of info.

PGC is your best source for nintendo noowz. our advanced filtering process (LOL INTERNET FORUMS) enables you to critically think your way to the rightful conclusion (LOL OR A MISTAKEN DISASTER)

WalkingTheCow · « **Reply #134 on:** September 30, 2006, 08:15:43 PM »

I really doubt they'll release this game on GC. Nintendo has no reason to. Nintendo probobly seem some great reasons to move it to Wii.

Sorry. It's true. . . and I think I'm glad for it. In any case, Intelligent Systems is just about flawless so, I've got no real worries.

Svevan · « **Reply #135 on:** September 30, 2006, 08:36:28 PM »

I'm praying against all reason that some crazed retarded Nintendo rep let spill via a customer service e-mail that Super Paper Mario is, in fact, a surprise GameCube game. I AM PRAYING FOR IT. Pray with me.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #136 on:** September 30, 2006, 10:19:29 PM »

At this point, I don't care if Nintendo announces that the game will be released on its own propietary game playing machine that isn't either the Wii or the GC, I JUST WANT TO PLAY IT. Stop giving me the run around, dammit.

I'm going to pray aganst your prayer hehe

. I want to see it moved to Wii so we can see what quirky things Nintendo can do with the Wiimote for the game! If it is given enough development time Super Paper Mario cuold be yet another example of why the Wii is such a great experience.

zakkiel · « **Reply #138 on:** October 01, 2006, 07:50:14 AM »

I also don't udnerstand why we would want it on the GC rather than the Wii.

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #139 on:** October 01, 2006, 08:27:40 AM »

as long as the game gets released, I don't care if it's either a GC or Wii game

RiskyChris · « **Reply #140 on:** October 01, 2006, 08:42:46 AM »

I kinda prefer it to be a Wii game. I want to see a wall of white DVD cases as soon as humanly possible!

Like I said before, moving Super Paper Mario for the Wii not only guarantees better awareness towards the game it also creates a wider game selection for the Wii right after launch.

To be honest, I am not that excited for the game but moving it to the Wii will benefit the game and the console.

It's strange that the thread for one of my anticipated (on the soon to be released list) games has died, and it died quite awhile ago.

Well I was cruisin Cnet for more laptop informatin and I came across this preview for Super Paper Mario:

I spent the most time on Super Paper Mario, sequel to the excellent GameCube RPG Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and it's even weirder than its predecessor. Unlike the straight role-playing in previous Paper Mario games, Super Paper Mario is a puzzle-filled platform game with some loose RPG elements. The titular 2D plumber gets the power to move about in the third dimension, adding fantastic puzzle elements to otherwise flat landscapes. Impassible walls and dead ends can be overcome by switching to 3D mode and revealing that the wall is only paper thin, or that the dead end is actually the start of a bridge. The level of the game that I played was filled with clever 3D puzzles that included hidden pipes, invisible blocks, moving platforms, and plenty of imposing-yet-flat enemies. Of course, you can't spend all your time in 3D; after a while in 3D mode, Mario starts to lose health and must return to flatness. Fortunately, even 2D mode is full of enemies to stomp, puzzles to solve, and characters to interact with. What little I played of Super Paper Mario got me pretty pumped for the rest of the game when it hits in April.

I didn't pay much attention to too much news about this game so I would be surprised when I played it, like I tried to do with Zelda, but that didn't work out to well.

This game just sounds better and better each time I read about it (which has been like 3 times, but still...). I can't wait to have it my hands.

The game will be so awesome, it doesn't NEED a thread...

Artimus · « **Reply #144 on:** February 17, 2007, 06:07:34 AM »

Why on earth did you bump this thread? There's one from like a week ago that's just as long.

BUMP!

Sorry to bump up such an old thread but I finally played the game and wanted to put my two cents in.

I liked the game, but to be honest it wasn't THAT fantastic. I personally disagree when people say "The reason some fans are glorifying some Wii games is because they are hungry and starved for games", but I can't help but agree with the sentiment when discussing Super Paper Mario.

First, the story was cute, charming and had plenty of excellent humor. But it isn't enough to keep me playing. Its true that you don't play Mario games for the story, but considering there is a lot of it in this game I thought they would've made it more interesting, specially near the end.

Second, the stages themselves are rather bland and kinda boring. There are some winners, but overall I wasn't truly enjoying playing through these stages. Some of them were downright annoying, though. When will developers learn the difference between challenging your players and annoying them? That space level irritated the crap out of me...

I honestly don't understand why they didn't make it so that all characters could switch to 3D. Even if it just takes seconds you will be changing characters and Pixls a lot and it can get it grating.

Some of the features, special power ups, items and attacks were kinda cute but gimmicky.

Overall, I give the game an 8. I recommend trying it out since it is a good game. I just don't see this as the very special game many made it out to be. Hell, I had a lot more fun playing Wii Play!

You really should have bumped the better SPM thread. Especially since you've posted in it before and it was even linked just two posts above your post.

The game had flaws but it still was a great game, though you are probably rating it unfairly because of the unrealistic pedestal you put your hopes on. It is funny that you use SPM as an example of games people like because they are starved yet defend games like Red Steel or SR which are exactly that (Especially Red Steel).

Golden:
Yes, I wanted to play SPM because it looked like a cute, innovative a fun game but didn't exactly have very high hopes for it. I expected a good game and that I got. I just wasn't as captivated as some of the fans were. In fact, I was enjoying the first chapters of the game a lot (the otaku bash along with the dating sim scene was priceless). It wasn't till the middle and end of the game where the charm wore off and I wasn't enjoying myself that much. Again, the game was good but in MY eyes it wasn't an amazing masterpiece or something I will cherish greatly.

As for RS and SR, I played Secret Rings and I am really enjoying it so far (I took a break from it to play SPM, though). RS will have to return home in order to try it out.
