Unlike my experiences witnessing the crowd of Skull Kid and Geno et al supporters in the past, I don't think Paper Mario's ever been super incredibly popular. Relative to the other guys anyway.
Nahh he has. He definitely had more of a presence then Skull Kid, and in some cases, Geno during the Ballot judging from the dozens upon dozens of fan polls I saw. I can dig some up if you'd like.
So you'd rather they spend extra resources making a character you don't want unique then to make him a harmless echo / glorified alt?
I mean I was a bit (and am) actively part of the Paper Mario and Skull Kid crowds haha
You mentioned the 3DS and then said you preferred it on the Gamecube, was thinking you had 3 confused for 3D. I'll admit it does look a lot brighter than the Gamecube version, but I wouldn't say the original is without it's fair share of goofiness
Honestly I selfishly hope it's flipped.
That's all true, though about the license, wouldn't it be the same? I'm not really knowledgeable of this stuff, but from what I've gathered, doesn't it just come down to the character and his/her likeness? It'd probably be no different if he was an assist trophy instead.
I'd be suprised if we get any more Square content that isn't Mario RPG
If anything, Paper Mario doesn't deserve the hate he gets at times haha.
The leak itself reaks of pure bull****!
Yeah, it's heartbreaking. Let it end!
As long as her guitars a taunt.
Mario is already in the game
Hey man, I'm just saying. Fire Emblem is more than covered in the character department. Any more would be overkill to me. I'd take different echo character over BK, and I say this as someone who likes The Black Knight.
Same tbh. It would bring in a new franchise and what is for me a more interesting character. Though Lara would probably end up being campy and annoying. Still would be neat.
Lemme tell you dude Tifa has got some great ASSETS to her character, she's got a big PERSONALITY, her backstory is HEAVY
I'd argue that argument 2 of this statement directly contradicts argument 1. Saying FE doesn't need more characters goes off of the assumption that said characters would use up valuable development time that could've been allocated elsewhere. An Echo barely consumes said time and should thus be more welcomed based on that argument. Black Knight would be a great Echo and a long-requested addition. And even if he were in, Fire Emblem would still have only 4 unique fighters, less than or tied with many of the major series.
Original does have its goody moments. But the difference between Dark Moon and the original is night and day. Original had an open ended exploration feel with portrait ghosts having an interesting dark story and that bogmire battle.
Link's already in the game. So let's get rid of Toon Link and Young Link.
It's rough being a Paper Mario supporter.
I'm gonna have to keep it real with you, chief. This is underwhelming. And here's why. I've explained it before, but I'll re-iterate that Smash 4 had a HIGH calibur DLC line-up, with one exception that we all allowed. Mewtwo, Lucas and Roy were all fan-favorites that people wanted for so long - Mewtwo brought us Etika, people cried when Lucas was revealed, and ROY GOT VENGEANCE!
We still haven't seen much of the game, it could be better than it looks. I'm also hoping for a return to form as I didn't really like Dark Moon's layout either.
I wonder how Paper Mario would set himself apart from Regular Mario though. Not calling you out, just curious as to what could make him different.
Pit and Dark Pit
As long as LOZ have 3 of the same character counting as their own slots I think other franchises deserve attention more so than FE atm, since they've certainly gotten a lot of love already
I'm offended. Banjo and Kazooie would be the ****.
You're saying this when we literally have Bayonetta and even Wii Fit Trainer in the game.
If done right his entire moveset wouldn't share one single Mario move.
I know we only got a short glimpse but I think it's enough to extrapolate an opinion. Things aren't always how they appear, but this is Nintendo not a Kojima game what we see is what we get.
A genuine female lead with a heart of gold, fists of fury, an endearing character, and excellent physical assets. Goes to the depths of hell and beyond to save Cloud. Has a personal score with Sephiroth. Has a begrudging but undramatic rivalry, but also friendship, with Aerith.
Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE Banjo-Kazooie in the roster! But you know what practically everyone is gonna say when the reveal trailer happens?
I'll get the chair, you get the duct tape.
