The Mario RPG thread

It's a definently good improvement from Sticker Star but still shouldn't be bought new as if you want companies like Nintendo and Namco to give what you want, You kind of have to show them they are fucking up. Ghostly Adventures utterly failed and now FINALLY Pac-Man is being reverted by the looks of it after all.

I'd say try the game out... used. 3D World also felt about as creative as Galaxy IMO... But not as creative as Sunshine, which is what I really hope they go for at some point. It can have linear level design (Though I'd like it to be open and have branching paths like Kingdom Valley in Sonic 06) but all I really want is Mario's health bar and athletics from SM64-Galaxy back such as the Triple Jump.

And if they make another 2D game...? At least change the gameplay like this instead of the stale NSMB formula:
 
Blah blah Miyamoto.
There are multiple directions they could've gone with this and this was probably not the best one.

Probably? I'd say it was undoubtably and most-definitely not the best.

I will have to say, though, I wouldn't be shocked if the real reason Nintendo has asked for that was so they have more control over the copyright of their characters. Creating new characters is just adding to the list of owned material, which they have to protect. I don't really know how that works, but I believe that could be the main reason, hence the "Use only characters from the Mario Universe". It may also be cheaper.

I know you've been a bit cynical but it could always be worse. S;D

Though of course it could be much much better even if they had to stick within the Mario universe.

While an unremarkable game I remember Mario Party Advance and the rather large cast of NPCs used that weren't just Toads and Goombas.

From a purely financial perspctive, why would Nintendo refuse the creation of more elements they can merchandise and license
 
It becomes even more dumb in hindsight considering that they have plenty of characters they practically own already but haven't brought back simply because "OH NOSE, THEY'D BE UNIQUE AND STAND OUT!".

Remember all those wacky enemies from the Super Mario Land games? What about the Piantas, Electro-Koopa's and Strollin' Stu's from Super Mario Sunshine? Hell: More importantly: Where the hell is Wario aside from spinoffs now these days? Let alone there are plenty from the SNES-N64 era we haven't seen in a long time. ((Excluding SMRPG considering they had to credit Square for a cameo of Geno in M&L:SS therefor I don't know what any of the exclusive character's they own in particular... Booster? Mallow? ...Nah.))

Come on, Nintendo.

Until Miyamoto loosens his grip we won't see any of them. Least of all the Mario Land enemies. Miyamoto does not care for those games (to put it lightly).
 
We need to be more positive! Let's talk about we we do like about the game.
This is my favorite theme from the game.

woooo
 
This won't mean much to most here, but I can't help but wonder whether or not the Superstar Saga remake is going to have a new german translation.

The reason I'm thinking about this is that while the original german script was good, it had some odd things about it, particulary Fawful, who didn't get his broken grammar or food metaphors until the next game and with the Bowser's Minions mode featuring new content involving him I'm just very curious what they are going to do.
