You do realize most of them are fake, right? No seriously, you can make one with just your hands, peanut butter and a pen to poke holes

Handheld NX that is.

Next thing you know insiders will claim NX comes with a toaster and the cure for cancer.

Im only seeing a prediction from an anaylist. Unless that part is in th WSJ article which I can't read anyway.


Regardless. . .this is getting ridiculous. I can't wait for nintendo to announce this thing already so we can get this behind us. . .

If Paper Mario U becomes a thing; and follows the pattern of PM64 and TTYD; what is the partner addition you want to see most?

Honestly, after the tease of how Prince Mush became the best fighter of the Glitz Pit...

I wanna see a buff toad.

I'd rather see what happens with the NX rather than worry about the comments and rumors surrounding it.

Now here's the question.
Do you go with the somewhat timid guy who wants to be something more? (Akin to Koops)

Or...
Do we let the Mario RPGs poke at the "rules" set my the main games?

I was 100% thinking about a Shy Guy partner the other day as the first, tutorial partner. However, if its not called ShyGuide I don't want it.

I want a Wiggler partner that you can ride around.

And bodyslam people with.

They are on a texting App called LINE. You get the app and then go onto the emotes store to buy them.

I want a Shy Guy, a Toad, and a Luma the most.
I'd also love to see a Whittle.

I was right in the middle of saying this actually. Whittles are probably my favorite minor Mario species. They're adorable, haha.

 

[ChikoLad]

I kinda want the next Paper Mario to mix elements of the first two and Super Paper Mario.

Mainly, make it so the "main character" can be changed between Mario/Luigi/Peach/Bowser/Rosalina or something, and then still have partner characters that are OCs based on races like Goombas, Toads, Lumas, etc.

 

[Champ Gold]

I just want the creative worlds like in Super Paper Mario.
From the aesthetics, enemies and the characters as well. They are awesome when they go out of the way. It's why Super Paper Mario is my favorite of the series

These are probably characters you would NEVER see in a Mario game in general. And that's what makes it perfect.

Bowser Jr, Rosalina and Wario would be interesting in Paper Mario but they aren't as unique

Most of the character designs in SPP aren't that interesting though.

They're literally just squares and rectangles most of the time. It was explained in the plot but it was still lazy.

Characters like Rosalina are way more unique because they have distinct designs and in the case of some characters, deep enough personalities to work with for a proper RPG story. And in cases where they aren't well fleshed out already, they can be made fleshed out.

I love SPP but mostly for the story, gameplay, and utilisation of the classic Mario cast. I only really cared much about Francis, Dimentio, and Count Bleck.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Alternatively, try Advance Wars if you want a more pure tactical game. It's way easier to pick up and play too, whereas Fire Emblem (especially pre-Awakening) require more investment because of its long-term strategy and planning.

It's also better, if you ask me.

Advance Wars is, like, the sole reason for owning a GBA. Those games were all amazing.

The characters were really fun and it seems that way, the game was like MS Paint perfected and was like a computer app with the shrinking and growing. Plus the characters are wonderful in each way.

I understand you're a Rosalina fan but you don't have to defend her honor. I never said that they weren't stand outs but that I just wanted unique characters and worlds.

I'd eventually like to see Paper Rosalina in some capacity myself.

And even though it's probably not happening I want an allusion to Count Bleck because I like him and SPM as a whole dammit.

Changing Pee Ree to Peh Ree is a good idea in my opinion.

I still prefer Pieri
'Cause I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "Pi Eh Ree"

I made this in celebration of the excellent localized names for FE: Fates characters.

I forgot to include Rajhat but whatever

I forgot that show existed
But it's now incredible that the names match
I'm now 101% sure it was an intentional reference, NoA comfirmed to have good taste

I'm not defending anything because there is nothing to defend (for the record, I don't think Rosalina WILL appear in Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi beyond a cameo capacity, if even that).

Most of the original characters in SPP were completely one-dimensional and forgettable, and their bland designs have a lot to do with it. There were very few standouts. They could give you funny one-liners that you could appreciate as you played, but nothing stand out that I can really remember. Outside of the three OCs I mentioned, the highlight of SPM's writing was the fantastic development on Luigi, Peach, and Bowser as characters. The game did take you to a lot of locations (though technically main series Mario has covered all of the ones you have mentioned - in fact it's used the concept of an "entire universe" twice now and as far as I'm concerned, few settings can match that) but it did that with Luigi, Peach, and Bowser being the real stars of the show.

I'm all for original OC characters, but I don't want them done how SPM did it. I want them to look visually distinct, and using the "race OCs" route that the first two PM games went with is a good method of doing so.

Also MS Paint perfection would be Homestuck.

Like just talk to them, or chat them up? :V

 

[wedl!!]

Either or.

I just don't want to freeze up or get tangential and make her lose interest or anything like that

 

[ChikoLad]

It's cliché sounding but being yourself is key.

Reason being that if you have to put on a huge act then you never know if they are truly compatible with you, platonically, professionally, or romantically. And if you act different BECAUSE you think they won't like the real you then, well, that's not a good sign.

But I also think it helps to make sure you're in a good, healthy mood yourself. Get a good breakfast/lunch on the day before you hang out, look around you for stuff to talk about during the day if you think you might be short on things to talk about, maybe try to take an interest in things they like that you may not have explored yet.

This is pretty general advice since I don't know the specifics of your situation but I hope it helps.

Just don't think of it as being different from any other interaction.

it's a paper mario game. This is a given

But Paper Mario is a 2D game.

And SPM had 3D elements.

No excuses.

Step 1: don't talk them
Step 2: there's no step 2
Congratulations, you saved yourself from an anxiety attack
I need help too

 

[wildvine47]

If we're talkin what partner species we'd like in a future Paper Mario, my biggest want would be either a Snifit partner, a Monty Mole partner, or a Bully partner.

I do also think that the Chain Chomp partner we saw in early sticker star footage would be great to have back, and I do agree that it's about time we had a Shy Guy partner.

 

[wedl!!]

I have diagnosed anxiety and I'm bad at socializing. Pretending it's like any other conversation isn't really going to help.

(Also, since context was requested, I want this relationship to be romantic but she's a lesbian and no one IRL knows I'm trans)

 

[powerprotoman]

for my paper mario partner i want a ninji
and just an aside i want paper rosalina before paper daisy because then the cycle can be complete
