I fail to understand why Gamespot has devoted so much coverage to another Gamecube title that was converted to the Wii. Big deal. A Mario rpg with lackluster graphics, and this time you wave around a wiimote to control him. Wow. Nintendo is just knocking my socks off with these rehashed Gamecube titles. I'm glad I own an Xbox 360.
Lackluster graphics? Are you looking at the same game? The style of the game is outstanding.... You disappoint me. Zelda was a port, and it was a great game. Is it really that big of a deal?

Do you know anything about SPM? Its a 2d/3d Platformer RPG. Isnt that something new? Disaster and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. have been done to death. Nintendo, when will you learn? :roll:

The last two Paper Mario games were pure RPGs. This one is a platformer with RPG elements. That's about as different as it can get while remaining part of the same series. You are complaining about a game you know nothing about.

This paper mario is a complete reworking of the old PM system. How is that not reinventing?
don't even waste your time.....just another stone-wall minded fanboy
Even though it isn't next gen, it will still sell a lot more then most of the 360's library. so, you can't really talk because microsoft's library sucks. Oh, and if you don't have a wii, why should you care about a wii title?

We were giving decent reasons without that outburst, please delete it.
The Xbox360 is awesome, but sometimes rehashed shooter after rehashed shooter gets a little tiring, thats why owning a Wii for Nintendo games is so great : )
[QUOTE="ChiefFreeman"]there's nothnig "next gen" about it though. SmashBrosLegend
Who cares? A great game is a great game. Adding meaningless labels won't change that. Agreed.

Posting thigns like this don't help the credibility of your opinion.
yes, to me it is a big deal. Nintendo doesn't care about visuals at all.ChiefFreeman
Shows how much you actually knwo about the presentation of video games in terms of visuals. There's more than one component to it and one of them is visual style, something that the Paper Mario series has. And whether you think so or not but the series is far from old and tired. Not when you actually take the time to realize that it emcompasses platofrming gameplay as well as the unique ability from going to 2D to 3D.
Nintendo rides the coattails of its past success. Do something new like Microsoft did when they created a great new franchise (Gears of War). Or like Sony with the upcoming Heavenly Sword.

I think Nintendo's continued use of their legendary franchises might have something to due with their ability to consistently deliver, and they have been giving us new franchises every year. Is there some other Nintendo you're talking about, because you seem to be wrong about who I'm talking about every time....
Rehashed? Tell me one other game where you switch from 2D to 3D to solve different kind of puzzles which are related to platforming and RPG elements in the game, because the game is a... :o 2D/3D platformer/RPG! Something unique!!!

Oh look, another shooter... I can add it to my collection of 13890 other shooters with miniscule differences.

Gamespot devoted so much coverage to the game because there is so much GAMEPLAY to cover! Which is rare in the industry as of late, most games are psuedo-movies that dont have enough gameplay to provide enough content for more than a simple preview/review. Just because this game may have originally been envisioned as a GC title doesnt mean its any less of a game, any less quality, than other games out there. The fact is that the gameplay is far deeper than most similar titles. Its graphics are hardly lackluster; they are extremely stylish, visually engaging and vastly more superior than any combination of normal mapping and HD graphics could ever produce because art is more than just trying to make eveyrthing as "realistic" as possible. Plus the gameplay is far different than that of the previos games; its evolved in a huge variety of ways. You may be glad that you have a 360 but most of the titles availble to you have neither the style nor the deep satisfying gameplay that this mere "rehash" provides. Have fun blowing up stuff and watching the pretty visuals because thats pretty much as complex the gameplay will get. Simple minds require simple entertainment.....have fun with that. As a human being i take pride in the fact that i require more cerebral and intellectually engaging games than the vast majority of games that YOU have availble by virtue of owning a 360. Humans are supposed to reason; thats what makes us human. As such we become better humans by engaging in reason....something you can only do on a very small percentage of video games on your chosen system. You seem to epitomize what i refer to as the "lowest common denominator" consumer.

Why would they stop making a series that sells?
And ever hear of Nintendogs? Pikmin? Or what about Project H.A.M.M.E.R? Disaster: Day of Crisis?
