assume that the house of Mario had a heavy hand in the development of this title. That being said it continues to amaze me at how Nintendo realiy does focus on the actual gameplay ot it's titles. There is genuine artform in the way a game is played and this game captures that aesthtic. It isn't just a marketing mantra, or an exuse for lack of processor power, Nintendo games are actual games. And fun ones at that. They each create new rules and ways in which to master the game. It gets tiring to play the same game over and over again that has only been given a graphical upgrade or a new date after the title. It is like how Monopoly makes a different version of their game with a different theme and they except you to lap it up like sugar water. Its the same old game that you've played for years but with different titles and colors. Boring. Nintendo games give you a new exhileration. A new rush. Its like learning how to play chess for the first time and then feeling the pleasure of learning how to own someone in it. Give me somehting new. New rules. New powerups. New pitfalls. New strategy. That rant being said Super Paper Mario is a brilliant game. It is evolution on a gameplay level not a graphical one. All praises to you Nintendo. Give me more. NOW!
