Nintendo must really hate Paper Mario fans.
Can you hate what you ignore and or just indifferent to?
The Gamecube and GBA era was the golden era of Nintendo.
Would say the handheld era was golden within the late GBA to the end of the DS, they still make good shit but the shear verity of the DS lineup even just considering the first party out put was astounding, even with the blue ocean shit on the console
 
I haven't the foggiest of what to make of the new Paper Mario game. Its artstyle reminds me too much of SS & CS, the partners & NPCs so far seem to veer more towards the generic side, and the combat we've seen so far has been vague on details like partners participating and badges returning (the apparent lack of flower points is a bit of a red flag). But on the other hand, the plot looks interesting, the locations seem to be rife for exploration, and the game doesn't appear to utilize those dumbass stickers for every combat action.

Until I get more information about the game, I can't decide if I want to give it a chance or steer clear.
 
i voted sticker star because its the only one I have played. the gameplay was meh but I really liked finding hidden stuff in the over world
 
Paper Mario has some of the best music the franchise has ever made. Yuka Tsujiyoko is an underrated musical genius and her tracks need more love. (both games have amazing soundtracks, I just wanted to post some classic Paper Mario songs often forgotten)
 
I've always thought that Paper Mario 64 needs a proper remake rather than an HD port. Thousand Year door is near perfect even after all this time, so re-do PM64 with TTYD's improvements: partner characters being full characters with health meters, some sort of challenge dungeon like the Pit of 100 Trials, more and proper side-quests, more varied action commands, and the such.

As for the Origami King, i'm cautiously optimistic. The battle system seems to at least be interesting, partners are back even if they don't have unique designs, the origami designs look nice, and the main enemy isn't Bowser. If the writing is good like TTYD and 64 were, I'll be happy with it.
 
Lots of shade on the GameCube in here. It didn't do well in terms of THE CONSOLE WARS on the internet.

But the games were good and Nintendo made a profit on the system, despite lower sales.
 
TTYD is pretty overrated in my opinion. It’s a phenomenal game and all, but I still don’t like certain gameplay choices they’ve made, and parts of it just felt like needless filler. I still hate that one part of the game where you had to find the Bob-omb commander in all of the worlds you’ve already explored, only to give you a massive middle finger at the end by just having him at his house the entire time. And then there’s Chapter 4, where half of it is just running back and forth between the entire level.

I will defend the GameCube to the death but I will say Nintendo fucked up big time by not including online functionality because they thought the internet was a fad. Nintendo is a company that constantly flip flops between brilliant and stupid.

There was a physical add-on you needed to plug into the bottom of the system to do something like that, and even then only a few games had it (I think Mario Kart: Double Dash was one of them)

Mario Kart: Double Dash didn't even do online, just LAN.

What a missed fucking opprtunity.
 
The GBA adapter is the best thing you can plug into the bottom of a Gamecube. It's my absolute favorite way to play Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

It was also rare as hell and the attachment's secondary market price skyrocketed because of this.

And all these years later, nintendo still can't internet.

Nintendo is a company of polar extremes, where they can slam dunk a lot of their games, and absolutely fucking stumble when it comes to managing online services and the way they treat certain series' like Paper Mario. You can more often than not count on them to deliver on Mario and Zelda, but things like Paper Mario, Metroid, and Star Fox are complete dice rolls.
