Why get excited over another Paper Mario game that was made for the Gamecube?

[QUOTE="ChiefFreeman"]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.   ShakeNBake1491

No, I'm speaking about the same old boring Nintendo. I give them credit for Ninja gaiden Ds though. That game looks really cool.ChiefFreeman

yes, to me it is a big deal. Nintendo doesn't care about visuals at all.

Not this gen, but last gen SMS, WW, Z:TP, SSBM, MP 1 + 2, etc. were some of the best looking games. Now with the Wii, it doesn't matter if they chose to do HD graphics or not, the variaty of games this time makes up for it.

To answer your original question "Why get excited over another Paper Mario game that was made for the Gamecube?"

The answer: The last Paper Mario game that was made for Gamecube was an amazing game even by today standards; simple, no?

I won't be bothered with explaining why this game isn't a rehash at all, read any preview of the game and you'll find out why.

In the visual department, well the visuals are apparently "stellar and showcase a striking mix of style and tech." (Gamespot)

In short: We need more Paper Mario and less money for public schools

.

You can say it isn't next gen and all, but the fact is that there is a novel 2D-3D environment that hasn't been done before.

That's the appeal behind this game.

Yeat you have a RE4 icon which looks great on GC and better then the ps2 version.

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!!!Hungry_Homer111

But I thought we were talking about Paper mario. At least that's what the topic title says. You should know, it's your topic after all.

honestly, i found my self wondering the same thing :?

why did they have so many articles on the individual chapters before even reviewing it?  

what happened to games like Goldeneye or Perfect Dark? Both considered to be 2 of the greatest shooters ever. i want to see something liek that that wil wow me now, like those titles did 7-10 years ago. ChiefFreeman

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.ChiefFreeman

Yet they don't update the visuals considerably. There's nothing groundbreaking about using a wiimote for this game either. It's totally not suited for it. Why would you need to wave a wiimote around to make a 2-d character do something? That isn't immersive. They're just trying to stock their library with filler.

That's what I was thinking too. I think we can expect SPM to get a 9.5+ if not a full 10....it sure has been a while.

well if Nintendo is all about "fun", then they should use some of their creativity and combine it with a beautiful looking game. Something without mushrooms or silly little childish characters.ChiefFreeman

I wasn't aware that Nintendo's sole buisness was to make games that appeal to you personally and no one else. You should send them an email so they can get right on that.

Super Paper Mario isn't an RPG, it's a platformer.TyrantDragon55

Actually it's both. :) 

there's nothing "next gen" about it though. ChiefFreeman
