Missy Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 From Codename Revolution: Super Paper Mario - To be released in APRIL! Mario finds himself in the interdimensional town of flipside as a black hole looms overhead along with floating math equations. You have to use the controller sideways moving the control pad and jumping with the 2 button (OLD SCHOOL!). A button allows you to switch from 2D to 3D and later in the game you’ll encounter creatures called Pixls that will give Mario new abilities that make an interesting use of the Wiimote. Tippy (a butterfly) allows you to search areas for secrets, you can point the Wiimote at the screen to spotlight hidden doors or learn info about the enemy. When you jump on an enemy, if you shake the Wiimote you can gain extra points. Game has graphical enhancements from the E3 build (the issue has new screenshots). Oh please, please, please let this be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRetreater Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 last I heard this was for the Cube. I almost hope it is for Wii, and not at all for cube, so I'm not tempted to buy it. I'm so broke right now and the paper mario games rank right up there with the most fun I've ever had with a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 That's what I heard too, but it looks like it's been changed. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 From Kotaku: Word from the latest issue of Nintendo Power dates the next Mario platformer-RPG—dubbed Super Paper Mario—to hit the Wii a little earlier than expected. The game is now due to hit store shelves in April, delayed after shifting platforms from the long-dead Gamecube to the Wii. The game's release date is still listed as TBA at the official press site. If it does make its new April date, it should serve as sweet relief to a potential game drought and silence mini-game and party game detractors.

drqshadow Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 "the long-dead Gamecube"? The Wii hasn't been around THAT long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 It died when everyone stopped buying it to wait on the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keith Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 To be fair, the Game Cube never really sold well to begin with. The Wii just put it out of it's misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Jim Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah, the Gamecube was dead before the Wii came out. This news is not a surprise. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRetreater Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 now, I've read conflicting reports. Is this an RPG, like the first two were, or is this a platformer (like say, kirby for 64 was. fun game by the way, but nothing really to it)? I seem to recall when they were plugging it for Cube it wasn't going to be an RPG. Now most things mention the RPG factor making me think the ones that aren't are simply neglecting that aspect.

Missy Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've heard it will not be an RPG, but my source could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keith Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've always heard it'll have RPG elements, but won't be a straight forward RPG. I haven't looked into it enough to know what that means, but that's always what I remember reading when I look up information on the game.

Morphine Jim Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 The control scheme and screenshots suggest a 2D Platformer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
