it's surprising that it's passable. looks like a fun enough concept.

however i audibly groaned at the mention of the koopalings being in it. come on

When it was first announced, I was dreading this game and could not justify a Sticker Star sequel at all. But the more I hear about this game and the more Nintendo pumps out info about it, i am now convinced to buy it at some point because it looks like a genuinely good game.

i love how the public perception of the koopalings went to shit after they started appearing in literally everything

how is it "pandering to 3 year olds" when children are literally the intended target demographic
i mean, i hate the direction paper mario went in too but that's...not why

Fuck you Miyamoto, you took what were the two best Mario RPGs you had and bastardized them in favor of stupid gimmicks and pandering to 3 year olds. Thanks.
I dunno, all I really wanted from this game was for the developers to put effort into it (and fix the broken battle system). Sticker Star was so insultingly soulless, so that was my #1 concern.

But that dialog is hilarious. There's so much palpable, honest-to-god effort put into these environments. And perhaps best of all, there's actually an expendable resource that gives battles a purpose.

I'd still prefer a TTYD type straightforward RPG, but like he says in the review, this is finally a new take on the Paper Mario formula that I don't have to despise, the main reason being they remembered to try this time.

And this is coming from someone who really wanted to hate this game. I mean the sticker/card mechanic is still iffy (attack points + an attack roster is always a better mechanic than "attack items", see MLSS vs PiT), but damn it all, the game actually looks like fun from where I'm sitting.

i'm confused as shit that they stuck with the consumable resource attack thing when numerous games that have battle systems based on a shuffled deck of cards for actions exist, are fun as hell, and not nearly as clunky of an idea.

its funny that people say these games are being dumbed down for little kids meanwhile i still dont understand the timing for a good chunk of the attacks because neither this game nor sticker star make any effort to teach you how to do them

at least in this game i think there's like a practice dojo or something but i'm not gonna settle for being forced to have my hand held when in previous turn based paper mario games with the exact same attacks they're all incredibly easy to understand and execute

Kinda late replying to this, but holy shit this is so weird. I distinctly remember my mind being blown when the Koopalings showed up in MLSS, and now people are absolutely _sick_ of them

in that it was some older enemies from times far past showing up again for the first time in YEARS and it was super cool.

now they've been driven into the fucking ground and used in place of anything interesting for bosses in NSMB and took up a billion slots in mk8 on top of having a ton of effort put into them for smash skins

Oh yeah I'm not disagreeing. I'd hate them too if it wasn't at least refreshing to see actual good character designs in a Mario game. That paint bucket looks like a first draft of what might have one day became a real character

Yeah I'd like to play this, but I'll probably wait until I can get it used, because I still don't want Nintendo getting the idea that stickers aren't shit
