Paper Mario Colour Splash Revealed!

Nitwit posted this elsewhere, but it's still amusing:


Miyamoto gets interviewed about Paper Mario! Nah, not really, but it's funny anyway.
 
I'm the 'friend' who made that Miyamoto video. :D

I hope Nintendo shows at least a bit of Color Splash at E3. At least they improved on one thing FOR SURE about Sticker Star: the bland worlds. From what we've seen (3 areas), it seems already at least better than Sticker Star.

Ain't that the truth! ;)
 
I hope it's at least shown off this E3. With the new recent Treehouse information, it's inching closer since 3 games were shown. Unless they want to pretend Color Splash never existed.

By the way, did you see the sources I added to my Miyamoto interviews? Now you know it's real.

Hope so too.
 
Well despite me not having posted it here yet, I'm sure my opinion is already well-known. I had hope when it was announced, but the E3 stuff shot that hope down as quickly and efficiently as possible.
 
Yeah. And if the E3 thing didn't shoot it down quickly, Nintendo's comments about 'play Mario & Luigi if you want a Mario RPG' shot it down too.
 
Even the reveal trailer could be an April Fools video and nobody would have realized it was serious. Also, hello @fawfulthegreat64, I hope you realized the video wasn't real after seeing your inclusion. :P They (at least, Risa Tabata) seems to be more interested in talking with sites pre-release now. There's a lot more stuff out, but unfortunately it just makes me puke more.
 
Hi @fawfulthegreat64 I didn't see you here before?

Welcome to our wonderful forum site. I hope that you will like it here and interact with the community some more.

:p

You're talking about that Miyamoto interview video? I knew that was fake the minute I started watching it, haha.
 
Sales number bets, anyone?
At least a couple hundred thousand. There's those Paper Mario fans who won't buy it, but there's still the younger kids who have only played Sticker Star and don't know any better about the originals. The parents/grandparents who see "Mario" in the title, and buy it for their child/grandchild. Then there are people like me who are going to get it just because. I know it won't be like the others, I know that now. I was pissed at Sticker Star because I didn't know it wasn't going to be like Paper Mario or Super Paper Mario. But, now I can go into it with a different mindset. Will I hate it? Probably, but I'm going to give it half a chance at least.
 
I'd say 300,000 is probably the top bet here.

Remember, that's what Paper Jam sold. And this game is on a system which is failing big time. And it's the only game out to sell the system to people too...

Though this could actually bomb even harder...

I hope for a bomb to either end the series or put it back on track.
 
That and the first and third Paper Mario games are on the Virtual Console now.

Mind you? These are kids who are playing the older Paper Mario games and even they don't believe in Nintendo's BS.

Who is Nintendo marketing anymore? lol
 
Yeah, it's pretty obvious the vast majority of the fanbase doesn't support the Sticker Star direction.

As for who Nintendo are targeting? No one. That's their problem. It's more about what their developers find 'fun' and 'easy' to make rather than what the fans actually want.
 
Got two more videos about Paper Mario: Color Splash. And some of them do talk about them in great detail.


 
Well as someone who really hates both Teen Titans Go and the new Powerpuff Girls cartoon simply for how they seems to attack the original series, that's an apt comparison.

I agree with Mr Enter about that one.

One criticism though:

Kids don't hate the story in Mario games.

I've seen pretty much no kids out there say 'god I love how Sticker Star has no story and hate the first two or three games'.

And if they're anything like I was at that age, they likely really hate the unoriginality. I mean, for a kid, games are expensive. You buy a new game and everything is all 'same old, same old' then you'd feel kind of cheated. Yeah, they play Call of Duty. But they'd be pretty annoyed if they recycled the same maps and weapons and anything for every single game from here on out. Or if they bought Madden or FIFA and the team rosters never changed.

Also, if they find the stories too complicated, what in god's name do they think of the battle system or puzzles?

Cause let's face it, Sticker Star's puzzles were obtuse at best. Completely non logical 'put stickers here in places that make little sense' setups. And the battles were worse. Just 'pick the right thing card which you have no way of knowing beforehand'.

If a kid too 'immature' to care for a story fought a boss in Sticker Star, that 3DS is probably going flying out of the window shortly afterwards.
 

Another new Paper Mario video and it's just as bad if not worse than what was shown at E3 or interviews online.

It's very bad?
