Ign just released news on Paper Mario2!!!!
Post by: Bill Aurion on March 31, 2004, 09:27:01 AM
I really hope they get rid of the buddy system, and just make it like M&L

Now Paper Mario was a great game and Paper Mario 2 surely will be as well but in my opinion it's not as good as Super Mario RPG and it's irritating that Nintendo is going forward with what I consider the "inferior" design. Nintendo seems to ALWAYS go with the most recent design for their games regardless of which one is more popular. Since DKC Donkey Kong has always had his Rare look, Yoshi has maintained the Yoshi's Story look (for reasons I don't understand since Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World are obviously more popular games), and I'm worried of Zelda retaining the Wind Waker look (though they seem to change Zelda up a little bit every gen). It's like if Nintendo changes something on you and you don't like it, TOUGH, because they're keeping it.
For comparisons sake imagine that Rare was bought by Electronic Arts but the next James Bond game went to another developer.

It also gives IS something to do, considering this is their first GC title...

I've never played Paper Mario. Is it really good?
Do yourself a favor and play it as soon as you can- it's easily one of the best RPG's I've ever played.

Aww Ian I hate to say this, but can you at least wait until the game is released before you make a judgement on it?
Post by: Ian Sane on March 31, 2004, 06:03:09 PM
You're right. I shouldn't have assumed that Paper Mario 2 will be a great game as well.

SQUARE??? meh, i hate SQUARE after playing CRYSTAL CHRONICLES. how in the world did the last boss battle last almost 2 hours to beat. the first boss was pretty simple up until in the 3rd form... then this stupid RAEM guy comes in and no save point in between whos freakin' hit (the real boss) takes 1/4 of my life each time and his crewny takes 2 hearts for one hit and i only have 7 hearts in all with a crappy weapon, armour and artifacts... nice going SQUARE no balance at all.

I absolutely love the graphical style, and i'm glad they're sticking with the 2D paper look. The paper plane thing sounds like a really cool idea, how could someone not say "cool!" when you tell them that Mario can fold into a paper plane? This game looks really fun, i can't wait to play it. I hope to see some of that trademark humor that's present in all the Mario RPG games too.
I hope that somehow we get the original Paper Mario as a bonus disk or something, because i've played it (by renting it a million times), but because only a limited number of copies were released here i could never buy myself a copy, and i would love to own the game. I doubt it... but it's possible!

Mario has this huge snozz, while Peach has no nose whatsoever, maybe their kids will end up in between with a normal nose

I hope we can play as Luigi in PM2.

(And I don't recall Peach having a nose in the first Paper Mario, either...It's just the she was designed for the game)
Post by: couchmonkey on April 04, 2004, 12:07:37 PM
All three games are amazing, though, and I'm sure this one will be no exception. I hope that Intelligent Systems improves the writing and beefs up the battle system. A few more hours of game time would be nice too. But even if it's a pure cookie cutter sequel to Paper Mario, I think I'll love it.

How quickly you forget Luigi Board in M&L. Nothing wrong with that.

Nintendo for eternity, if they'll include the original Paper Mario as a promotion item. There must be a lot of people who haven't experienced it yet, considering it was released at the end of the N64 life cycle. Someone should e-mail them or something.
Post by: WuTangTurtle on April 11, 2004, 09:49:38 AM
I just bought the 64 version for $30 a couple of days ago.
sigh........

Meh, at least it's cheap.
