It's gonna be cute. Near lethal-cute. Paper mario 1 is great, but you really can't play it for too long. There is only so much niceness you can take before you want to scream and pick one of those mushroom guys, and stab a fork in it's head for being so damn cute.

Paper Mario 2 will have a weird combat engine. It's gonna rely on the crowd to throw you mushrooms and shit like that. I'm not sure I'll like that much. Also, the plot sounds cliché like hell.

Visually, though, the game will rock. And it will rock so much more than any 3D game ever will. I just hope they can put in more content, and give it slightly more of an edge than in Paper Mario 1.

If they make it for kids/teenagers, like Super Mario RPG for the SNES, it's gonna be okay. If they make it super easy, super kiddie, it won't be.

They really should have made this for the dual screen gameboy. They could have done so much with that pen. Way more variety for the action command, rather than more of that push A just before landing stuff that squaresoft came up with. Worked fine back in the SNES days, when timing was pretty much the major skill you needed to play every single game in the world - along with pattern recognition, a good memory, and well... lots of money so you could insert more credits. It's no longer relevant these days, though.

Anyway, I'm not gonna buy it because I don't pay for my games. I will however pirate it. That's the least I can do for the nintendo guys!

Here's looking at you, fellas! Thanks for all the memories!
