No, Super Paper Mario’s title hasn’t been changed to Wicked New Super Paper Mario (they’re saving that for the upcoming DS version
), but make sure you check out these awesome new vids up at GoNintendo for what could potentially be the coolest game in the history of time. Seriously, Nintendo needs to take this graphical style and run with it on Wii. It’s retro coolness done to absolute perfection, says I. Enjoy.











Wicked!!

4cr has being going slow for a while, i looked at gonintendo.com and they have information flowing, coming in like every hour. I see 4cr and they have information maybe once or twice a day.
It saddens me.

I need this game.
So bad.

I love how they blend the 2D and 3D gameplay aspects where you have to constantly switch between them to progress.

I never thought youtube videos = content?

“Seriously, Nintendo needs to take this graphical style and run with it on Wii.”
I heard they’re gonna do this for the Wii version, “Wicked Awesome New Super Paper Mario”. But the title will be shortened to WANSPM.

So awesome seeing the old mario levels from a new perspective.
Clay Handley - 06.18.06 1:25 pm
I started disliking the game once I saw the semi-RPG aspects. Bleah.

I hope there is a roundtable for the podcast this week. Is there one without a mention of Psychonauts by Mitch?? Nope didn’t think so
SFIMEINGAK - 06.18.06 1:55 pm
OMG !!!!! I was really interrested by this game at E3, but now after seeing these videos, I want it even more that Mario galaxy !!!!
MacraMan - 06.18.06 2:21 pm
Wow, I love the style of this game.
Zen - 06.18.06 2:53 pm
Has anyone ever explained the butterfly and box thing that float behind Mario?
TOX - 06.18.06 3:53 pm
Super Cool! This looks great!

“I started disliking the game once I saw the semi-RPG aspects. Bleah.”
What semi-RPG aspects?

Super Paper Mario > Super Mario Galaxy.
I personally think that “Paper Mario Bros.” would be a cooler name, though.
Conn - 06.18.06 5:27 pm
Seriously, the implementation of style in this game is off the freakin charts. Amazing

SFIMEINGAK and TYTY - 4CR isn’t about posting *every single* news story and new link. That’s the way Nick’s done things since day one. Sure, news is posted, but a much bigger focus is put on original content and cool, offbeat news stories, comics stuff, etc.
N Rumas - 06.18.06 5:36 pm
I’m sorry buti have been with 4cr for quite some time, but this week was kind of slow….. i am sure it is just a faze. And i know it is not “every single” news story that matters. Just it was a little slow i did not mean to start a war. Oh and one more thing I was at the Reggie thing at NYC in ninte3ndoworld, ans I met rawmeatcowboy of gonintendo!!!
TYTY - 06.18.06 6:30 pm
Maybeit would be cool if 4cr could do that kinda stuff
TYTY - 06.18.06 6:30 pm
It’s cool how they made it two seperate plains of dimention, but did they have to make the default view so … flat? it seems to me that they could have kept both the 3d movement of the past paper marios -and- implemented the second view. I dunno, we’ll see when it comes :}
Also, did they take out the whole RPG battle style element? :[

“Also, did they take out the whole RPG battle style element? :[”
This is a PLATFORMER with Paper Mario’s graphics and a few RPG elements (HP).
I don’t understand why nobody understands this!

This week has been slow at 4CR, but if you paid attention you’d know it’s finals time for those still in post secondary.
amanaplan - 06.18.06 7:59 pm
This is going to be a great game.
