Upcoming Game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (October 6th 2017)

I wouldn't say that about the entire game altogether. The reduced expressiveness and lack of stylized enemies are a loss, for sure, but it's not all bad. For example, I like the look of Hoohoo Mountain very much (excluding the dark clouds) and Cackletta and Fawful both seem to have very nice sprites.
We'll have to see how the rest of the game looks. Maybe they'll do a good job in a lot of other areas. Like the unique NPCs.
I also thought some aspects looked quite generic, but on the flipside I can appreciate what they are trying to do atleast. I mean they DID try to replicate some animations, like the dancing in battle. I also really like how they did the lighting in the areas. But what I really hope to see is a hard mode and replayable boss battles. A music player when the game is completed would also be swell!
Overall I think it's just nice that this story gets some love. Besides, the original version isn't going anywhere. =)

Yeah, the backgrounds and places in the Beanbean Kingdom look good, and I feel the major characters like Fawful and Cackletta look good too.
It's just basic enemy sprites which have seemingly been downgraded.

Yes, I guess that's right. I prefer the old look anyway, as it looks much more crisp (if that's the word).
But hey, at least they kept the general atmosphere, and quite some of the humouristic animations.
Leaked Hammer Bro!
Just kidding, made it myself.

Psycho Kamek has been killed and replaced by Toadley.
Rest in peace, Psycho Kamek. We will not forget your Final Fantasy reference.
Also, Luigi doesn't turn into a red Luigi in the mirror, he turns into Mario.
But he doesn't have Mario's voice.
Make up your mind, Nintendo!
Dry Bones, Limbo Bros, Piranha Bean, Clumph and Sharpeas have survived! Thank god!
Sadly, Bink hasn't. He's now a non-specific Skeleton Sailor. What the hell, Nintendo!
Glad to see this face intact!

Border Bros have survived as well!
As well as these guys.
Wiggler has been turned giant so they can re-use the sprites from Dream Team.
Holy crap... IS THAT...
IT IS!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
THEY LIVE!
THEY LIVE!
THEY LIIIIIVE!
They have shoes now but that's fine. I'll take it! Pheeewww!
Needless to say, I'm really happy about this.
I'm glad that in a lot of cases (sadly not all) they included the modern versions AND the unique versions, making them two seperate "species".
I can't wait to play it.
I also hope they call the slender Boomerang Bros "Beanerang Bros."

Thank god they kept most of the unique designs here. It's not perfect, but yeah, it's way better than expected.
Not surprised the bosses are mostly intact though. It would have been impossible to 'Mariofy' the likes of the Chuckolator. And hey, Cackletta's angry face is part of her battle gimmick, so of course that'd be kept in too.
I also kind of prefer them using Dr Toadley here. He's a less generic character than Psycho Kamek was, and arguably less confusingly named too. Same with the enemy additions like Chargin' Chucks in Bowser's Minions.
No problems there.
That said, I do wonder one thing. Have they changed up the boss patterns at all?
Cause as great as Superstar Saga is, it's also really, really easy on the boss front. 98% of bosses (read, everything bar the final boss) has like two attacks at most. So if they could change that up a little (like say, by adding a few extra boss attacks when their health gets lower), it'd help a lot.
Either way, the game looks good.

I wouldn't call Psycho Kamek generic. He's got the white robe, which isn't just a reference but it's also fitting for a "doctor".
(Btw, he's called Psycho Kamek cuz he's a psychologist).
And I liked the idea of a psychologist who - instead of actually helping people psychologically just hypnotizes them into believing what they want to believe using magic.
There was also something sinister about it.
Oh well, at least it's a Toad with a unique outfit and personality, not just a recolor.
I'll probably make my own take on his design again.

I'm very pleasently surprised that they are sticking this close to the original in terms of enemy design (even Cackletta's sprite looks good!) and as weird as it is that Psycho Kamek is gone I'm admitingly very happy to see Toadley here, because I liked him in Bowser's Inside Story and I'm a sucker for M&L series characters returning as is.
Well, chronologically, this is his debut.
