Super Paper Mario for Wii is a great game (great story too) but it's 80% platforming and 20% RPG.Whay about Paper mario Wii? Is it as good as 64/GC?
Also that M&L Luigi Dream thing i doubt that will be better than Bowsers inside story nothing can touch Saga.
Hmmm i dunno could be good.I like where they're going with dream team
First, the studio opened in 2005.Just for the record, Melee took 1 year and 1 month to develop, and it took Brawl 2 years and 4 months. It should however be note worthy that the latter game was delayed several times and has a lot more content then Melee, which justifies the longer development time. As of now, the next games would of been in development for 1 year and 2 months. It's a possibility that the games might have a Q4 2013 release date, but there's a real possibility of it being delayed later. Remember, the costs of developing for two different systems is more daunting then one.
Second, Namco is a much bigger studio with more experienced staff. They also were probably able to start quickly where Brawl may have had to get more employees.So in October of 2005, Nintendo's newest office opened. And it was established solely so that we could create the new Smash Bros..........
With The Studio at its nucleus, this office will probably continue to gather and add people. One doesn't get many opportunities to be placed in such a situation.
I don't think it will sell as well, but it has nothing to do with the roster. I honestly don't think Sonic or Snake boosted sales.I think Smash 4 Wii U could very well end up being the worst selling game in the Smash Bros. series. Even they were to go all out with "shocking guest characters" I don't think it would be able to pull the kind of audience that Brawl got. Snake and Sonic are the two most popular non-Nintendo video game characters ever anyway.
If Sakurai wants to turn heads with Smash 4 it will have to some sort of really innovative game feature.
Is Super Paper Mario as good as the first two games? Yes and no. No, it is not as good of an RPG as those two titles. Yes, it is every bit as good of a game as those two titles. That may not help you but my rationale -- having played the game -- is that Super Paper Mario is it's own experience. Personally I had a lot of fun with the game despite being initially disappointed that it wasn't TTYD2. The game is humorous, creative, and overall just plain fun mixing the best of Paper Mario with mainline Super Mario Bros.Whay about Paper mario Wii? Is it as good as 64/GC?

PS: the super mario's go in the order they were released.
64>Sunshine>Galaxy 1>Galaxy 2.
Namco was able to get an engine built from the game relatively quickly. I don't interpret that to mean the game is coming this year or anything (they still have to juggle developing for two separate consoles) but I don't see how the process taking too long.Second, Namco is a much bigger studio with more experienced staff. They also were probably able to start quickly where Brawl may have had to get more employees.
Lastly, the games will likely use the same engine.
Given this, I don't think it is unlikely the game could come out around the end of 2013 to early 2014. I suspect it will come out mid 2014.
No, the game is incredibly boring and monotonous. Everything about it is generic. It's basically if you took the NSMB games and trying to make it into an RPG with very few changes. In fact, it's pretty much Miyamoto's fault (sort of) that Sticker Star was incredibly minimal compared to every other Mario RPG.Apparently it is the bane of everyone's life, A.K.A. it's not what they wanted, so it automatically sucks.
You know, at first I was going to say that Sonic at least boosted sales, but now I wonder how many would've just found that as a bonus by the time he was revealed.I don't think it will sell as well, but it has nothing to do with the roster. I honestly don't think Sonic or Snake boosted sales.
There are a lot of issues that are present today that weren't there in 2008.
So there you go. Now, the games may sell more because there are two of them. Each game selling more than 6 million will do it. I don't think it's out of the question, but it may not be as easy. Smash 4's sales will be interesting to watch. You can bet I will dive into it down the road.
- The global economy is weak. Underemployment is still high. Sales are down. The economy is only alive because the Federal Reserve prints over 80 billion a month. 2008 was a boom time. So was 2001. This is the series first time in a downturn economy. Actually, the game business hasn't been in many downturns. The last recession was in the late 80s with the savings and loan crisis (though I'm not sure how much of this effected video games). Everything has been rosy for the last few years. Now, not so much. It will be hard to pull Brawl's numbers when 2014 is going to much worse than 2008.
- The Wii U and the 3DS are doing poorly. The 3DS has turned around a bit at the cost of future profits. The Wii U is doing very poorly and it will likely continue until it has a price cut. Even the stellar 2D Mario could not move the system and didn't do that well compared to the Wii and DS version. Smash will be a game people want to buy the systems for, but what else is there. It will be a hard pill to swallow to get JUST Smash. Nintendo has not been good at pushing the install base. Game sales will be hurt by association until the install base grows. I expect the next game will sell like Melee. It will slowly grow as more people buy the system though I think it will lag behind Brawl.
On that note, I'm done with my class. This gives me a bit more time to work on some of the articles I wanted to right. I'm sure this place needs it. I don't know about you all, but this place is VERY boring with out the roster discussion thread. The fact that this post only had 3 new pages tells me it isn't working (the roster thread had 10 in a day). So, until then!
I loved Bowsers inside story though i aint gonna lie i love bowser i main him in all Smashes & MarioKKarts so probly that has a big thing to do with it but alone was a great game! Better than Partners in time imo no doubt but Saga is still #1Is Super Paper Mario as good as the first two games? Yes and no. No, it is not as good of an RPG as those two titles.

Bowser's Inside Story disappointed me. I've felt like each game in the series slightly regressed from its predecessor. The gimmicks did not make the game any more endearing, and to see Dream Team basically recycling those elements is causing some apprehension on my part. Granted, I do not own a 3DS, but that may change once aLttP2 lands. Still cannot get over that game.

Short version: I agree.
Artemis Fowl Flashbackfunny considering four means death in Asia
Make like an Atari Jaguar commercial and do the math.
I agree that the generally bigger and better development team will help speed things up, but at the same time whether it will be a dramatic difference remains to be seen.

Pretty much what is bolded hits the nail on the head. Many of the chicken littles running around on the internet (*coughNeoGAFcough*) claiming the sky is falling on Nintendo fail to realize this fact. Heck, I was in that boat about three weeks ago until Nintendo showed me EarthBound and pretty much convinced me to get one (more like my family, but still). That does not erase nor excuse Nintendo's culpability in not having adequate software to get their base demographic on board with their product early on but it should not be underestimated how many people are holding back right now.I think the problem with the WiiU is that plenty of people know about the exclusives coming out. They just don't see the need to go get one now. Mario is likely not moving the system because you had essentially the same experience (gameplay wise) on the DS, Wii, and 3DS. Why go for the fourth time in a row (funny considering four means death in Asia). New items aren't enough. I'm waiting for Sm4sh, Zelda, Bayonetta, and Pikmin to name a few, but those won't be out until around August-ish. You are right, though, that Sm4sh will be a gigantic system seller as it has been since Melee. The others might not be, but having a larger portfolio is always a good thing.
I would have agreed with you if it wasent for Wind Waker HD & Mario Kart U coming out later this year.Agreed with Kuma, I'm waiting for Smash 4 to come out before I get a Wii U
Honestly, I think a lot of people are satisfied with their current consoles so it's going to take a lot more than just a console having a few nice features to get people as a whole excited enough to buy a new console
Brawl is inferior to Melee, Sakurai agrees, he himself claims Melee is the best in the series, and it shows. The intro had a lot more work, the mechanics more fluid, etc... http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/12/09/super-smash-bros-creator-melee-the-sharpest There's also a DYK Gaming all about Melee, if you wanna know more about the dev process and Sakurai's opinion on Melee.People said that about Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Skyward Sword, Other M, and Super Paper Mario. I enjoyed them.
I'll buy it (or borrow it) and see for myself.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Galaxy 2 is pretty bland and linear.
So is Skward Sword.
Other M never happened.
Super Paper Mario is good though, different, but good.
SS and Galaxy 2 I still haven't finished, World 5 G2, and Sandship in SS. Still so far neither one has impressed, both did a couple things right, and had their moments, but overall have a hard time standing up to the rest of the series.
Other M never happened....
My opinion is fact!What did I just say?
Other people call them disappointments, but I enjoyed them.
So...what's the point of saying all of that?
Yes you can buy Wii VC on the Wii U. All VC games that are on Wii's Wii Shop Channel can be bought on Wii U version of the Wii Shop Channel (same with WiiWare). However, you can only play them when in Wii Mode (so you can't use the GamePad or the Wii U Controller Pro and no Miiverse). However, if said game hits the Wii U Virtual Console service on the eShop you can buy it again as the Wii U VC version (so GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, and Miiverse are available) at a discount (so far $1.00 for NES games and $1.50 for SNES games. All other systems are not yet available on the Wii U eShop). Just note when you buy the Wii U version your Wii version save will not be transferred.Abit of a random question but i really need to know please.
Can you purchase Wii VC games on the WiiU?
Example of what i wanna do
Buy Majora/Ocarina/Super Mario RPG on the Wii VC on My WiiU & play em.
can you do that?
Ahh ok i see. Thanks alot for the full explanation.Yes you can buy Wii VC on the Wii U. All VC games that are on Wii's Wii Shop Channel can be bought on Wii U version of the Wii Shop Channel (same with WiiWare). However, you can only play them when in Wii Mode (so you can't use the GamePad or the Wii U Controller Pro and no Miiverse).

All other systems are not yet available on the Wii U eShop). Just note when you buy the Wii U version your Wii version save will not be transferred.
And so far all games you said are not available on the Wii U VC service yet.
I think you missed the point.Make like an Atari Jaguar commercial and do the math.
Beginning of October 2005 to the end of January 2008. That's roughly 2 years and 4 months. If you discount the specific release date, it's more along the lines of 2 years and 3 months due to development time not being intertwined with the release date (usually development is finished roughly a month prior to the date).
Bigger team means game comes out faster. It's easier to build a house with 20 people verse 2. It's also easier to build them if you have come contractors. See what I'm getting at.I agree that the generally bigger and better development team will help speed things up, but at the same time whether it will be a dramatic difference remains to be seen. Remember that there is a lot of new content being added and that there are technically two games being developed at the same time.
The key thing he was addressing was the learning curve which is independent of the game's depth. Melee required strong manipulation of the game's physics at a higher level or simply required relatively precise timing with things like wavedashing and L-Canceling (never again). You can easily make the argument that the use of tilts and Smash attacks is not a beginner friendly design decision as well. To really do any cool looking stuff, you needed to know the game well. Compare this to Marvel vs. Capcom, any airdash fighter, and any 3D fighter except Virtua Fighter. Those games have relatively simplistic inputs at an individual level and learning a couple of basic combos like Marvel's LMHS > MMHS > OTG > Super are not only fairly rewarding, but they also look cool, encouraging players to try to pull it off. Melee, in comparison, is like trying to do Magneto loops early on in the learning process.My opinion is fact!
Nah, I was just giving my own two cents. I don't care what other people think or not. I personally feel that way about those games.
Also, it kinda sucks Sakurai said that there will never be another Smash as deep as Melee in that one interiew. Because "Melee was too hard." Hope he changed his mind?
That's the first time I came across that article btw...
Paper Mario TYD > Paper Mario 64 > Super Paper Mario > Paper Mario SSWhay about Paper mario Wii? Is it as good as 64/GC?
Also that M&L Luigi Dream thing i doubt that will be better than Bowsers inside story nothing can touch Saga.
PS: the super mario's go in the order they were released.
64>Sunshine>Galaxy 1>Galaxy 2.
I hope not! I hope they stick to the GC and 64 installments.There isn't going to be anymore GOOD paper mario's. I am positive of that
Because of the last few Paper Mario's that have come out. One the wii and 3DS. They were mediocre at bestI hope not! I hope they stick to the GC and 64 installments.
Why do you say that?
While I do agree, i just hope you are wrong and that Intelligent Systems can actually make a good Paper Mario game like the have done in the past.Because of the last few Paper Mario's that have come out. One the wii and 3DS. They were mediocre at best
