I don't really mind the RPG battle system being gone (even if they insist on doing a variation of an RPG-style battle system despite not being an RPG anymore), though it does suck it'll probably never come back, especially if Nintendo just lets M&L stay dead in the water. I just wish they would stop with their big-time paranoia and hypocrisy telling the PM devs to not use age/gender (so no individuals among a character species anymore, just different outfits and dialogue, though at least Bobby was done well), and to not make any unique characters be able to appear in future games. It's ridiculous and doesn't even make sense with the "consistency/protect the brand" reason since they break it themselves.

I feel like they've loosened up their grip a slight bit with TOK, as there's more Toads and Enemies with more unique costumes then there has even been in SS and Color Splash
Like compare these two Professor Toads for example

Completely seperate characters, but one stands out more. We still got ways to go however.


Now we want to talk missed opportunity, look at CS's concept art and what could have been

The one we got was the bottom left btw

I actually have a similar idea for Bowser in my PM game with that top left corner one.

 

[TheMightyP]

This is cheating. Why was this the game that had everything external going for it?

Color Splash died so that Origami King could walk

I actually have a similar idea for Bowser in my PM game with that top left corner one.

I wonder why they scrapped that. Who wouldn't want Bowser to have a sick cape?

I'm a bit bored and don't have anything better to do so....
Give me anime recommendations.

Only thing off the table is Slice-of-life and sports anime(not a fan) anything else is fair game. Preferably something not too long and also not super dark(something like Death Note for example i'm iffy on for the same personal reasons I mentioned a few days ago)

 

[Strong Badam]

FYI Bug Fables has far better battles/combat than TTYD. Give it a go if you like old school Paper Mario battle mechanics.

Lupin the 3rd parts 4 and 5 are excellent, and it's a series you need no prior knowledge of earlier parts to enjoy. Four especially is a really good starting place and is super easy to get into. It's about a gentleman thief and his gang going from place to place getting into all kinds of thievery hijinks. His two main partners are a expert marksman named Jigen and a samurai named Goemon, and they're chased around by an Interpol cop named Zenigata. It's a pretty good time, and the dub is excellent if you're into dubs.

Not too dark?
I’m a psychological fan, but I’ve still got some favorites which aren’t dark.
Actually, I’m kind of struggling..
Well, first off, watch the Persona anime if you don’t care for spoilers. They’re good enough, and most aren’t too dark.
And the Ace Attorney anime, if you’re into that.
I know this is probably the 4th time I’ve mentioned this anime in the last week, but it’s the first thing that comes to mind. Kakegurui isn’t too dark but can be intense at some points, so there’s that.
I suck at this.

Uhh except for slice of life (think I'm the only one here who loves the genre?) And not super dark (which Re:Zero is) so my top 5 is out.

• I'd go Darling in the Franxx but it gets meh after like 15 episodes.
• Fire Force is pretty good. It's about 25 episodes. It's basically steampunk-firebending monster killers. It's pretty actiony.
• The Devil is a Part Timer, it's basically about a demon king who flees to earth and ends up working in McDonalds. It's partly slice of life but it's got a bit of action but it's far more of a comedy than anything. 12 episodes.
• And, Dr. Stone. Entire world gets petrified, dude breaks out thousands of years later and is like "science!" and constantly invents things. Pacing is a bit of an issue. 25 episodes

I don't know. I want to recommend but don't know if you'll like them. @Chaos Breaker Dragon tell me what you think? I suck at describing stuff.

I just started watching the first episode of Part 3, and uhhh... that first scene with the shark with a phone ringing in it's mouth is just crazy. I dunno if I'll watch any more, but it's neato

Darling in the Franxx is something I considered but bleh all the fanservice is a turn off for me.
I've watched a little bit of Fire Force and Dr.Stone, but overall I like Dr.Stone better. Thanks though!

I love making cookies but I always screw up the cooking part. It can be really hard to adjust the heat, especially on manual ovens.

Imagine coming up to Bowser and being greeted with him having a sick cape, showing off a huge light show with pyrotechnics all with this theme playing:

If you can put up with graphic violence, I heavily recommend Dorohedoro. It's a great adaptation of an already-superb manga and it balances a grim setting with goofy and likeable characters perfectly.

What could be taken from Bug Fables to improve on the traditional PM battle system?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Arcade Super Punch-Out!! is fun.

Surprised that the game has the same age rating as the original Punch-Out!! despite having an alcohol reference.

Oh, Part Three is Pink Jacket Lupin. In Lupin, the different eras and parts are differentiated by the jacket Lupin wears, and Part Three (Pink Jacket) is very out there. If you want some of the old school Lupin, I'd recommend part 2 (Red Jacket) instead; it's still zany, but not nearly as wild as Pink Jacket.

That's something so. Dr. Stone and Fire Force has generally been the surprise recommendations so thought I'd forward it. Would have usually went with A Place Further Than The Universe but no slice of life.

I'd throw in Kino's Journey lastly. My favourite anime of all time. It's a collection of episodes about a girl and her motorbike travelling to various countries. It's philosophical fiction so it is to a specific audience but it's a great anime.

What could be taken from Bug Fables to improve on the traditional PM battle system?

Tough question, I think the premise of Bug Fables was pretty carefully crafted to justify its combat improvements so not all of them apply. I think Bug Fables benefits a lot from not having a true "main" character that needs the spotlight like Paper Mario does. Any partner has to play second fiddle to Mario because Mario is the gaming icon and the eponymous hero of the story.
Bug Fables on the other hand doesn't do this, much to its benefit in combat. They have several enemies that enforce certain partners, and a well-balanced turn relay system to let you use the right partner a couple times per turn with a trade-off. There are 3 total combatants rather than Mario + 6 or more partners. Decisions matter a lot more. When you lose one of your characters, it's usually a Really Bad Thing.

I do not think Paper Mario could make use of most of these things because of the aforementioned "main character" status of Mario, but if they were to go back to a turn-based RPG style I think a good start would be requiring certain partner abilities more often (via enemy design) and have enemies more intelligently pick which partner to attack. They could also make partner HP shared among them. In TTYD many enemies can't target the back row so you just can throw partners in front as disposable meat shields, and swap to the next one whenever one dies.

Well in terms of my game ideas, I’m planning on reducing the partner count to 4 ( will have 4 each) in exchange for more screentime and abilities so I could potentially incorporate more stuff like that.

Alright. Gonna play a bit of Hitman then talk story stuff with friends on the forum.

Viva Pinata had the greatest intro in existence. No one can deny it.

We need Rare Replay for Switch!

Speaking of Dr Stone, that's a good show. It's got a very interesting premise and how Senku interacts with others sets up for some good rivalries and also character development moments.

I wish the minor characters were more interesting though. His best friend Taiju fell off the map for half of season 1.
