So apparently someone is in the process of trying to recreate the scrapped 3DS Paper Mario game from the old E3 presentation that was sadly changed into Sticker Star. Except he's using the N64 engine and assets.

There's also another fan project (by a french modding team) that's been in the works for four years now and is supposedly closer to finishing. Its more active with its updates than most fan projects and it even has a playable demo apparently.
