RUMOR: Intelligent Systems working on Paper Mario for Wii U

Please more of TTYD-like greatness! Let this be true!

This game is listed under the 3DS section:

Let the hype begin!

EDIT: Nope. Sorry, this Pushmo doesn't show up in the list. Still, the employee's statement case remains to be solved.

Hopefully this and metroid are announced at e3

I want a stand alone Fire Emblem on Wii U. At least remake Awakening in HD if that's an easier project...

I've never played Thousand Year Door, am I a heathen?

Yes.

Play it and get rid of your sins.

@Blabadon: Yes. Arguments could be made that it's better than Superstar Saga.

It's better.

They should just stick to making Fire Emblem: Super Harem Waifu Kitchen Simulator. Then maybe they can finally make a proper Fire Emblem game on the NX, preferably a sequel for Mr. Ike.

Please don't be a bunch of dumbs and pull another Sticker Star.

wut

I'll take the latter if Retro is NOT involved.

Only partially kidding.

@93BlackHawk93: Hey man, Fawful makes a strong case for SS.

@darkspineslayer: You have a point.

I preferred him in BIS though.

Cackletta was boring.

I have 2 conerns if true :

It will be another shitty spin off and,

forced gamepad integration. Would rather it come to NX honestly

Well I'm glad its not up to you then.

Please be like the first two games, please be like the first two games...

Can they make it not shit this time? Because the last two were shit, while Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door? Still good games.

Normally I'd eye roll the whole Nintendo doing another fucking sequel, but Intelligent Systems actually made a new ip recently so they chill...for now.

Too bad the new IP was ass.

Didn't play it yet, will get around to it when my work schedule lightens up.

Yes, another Paper Mario, hopefully it will be more like 64 and TTYD because those games are amazing.

Oh be still my beating heart!

Of the worst possible kind!

There is a special place in hell for people who hate on Super Paper Mario. It was a wierd experiment but it was still a big adventure with charming characters, awesome writing and gorgeous art. I also enjoyed the gameplay, even though it was obviously not the deepest in the series.

Its a game to chill out to, not a nail biter. Never played Sticker Star as I didnt care much for what I saw. Besides the amazing OST that is.

Please no, Awakening was so damn mediocre for a FE it hurt.

+1

I really enjoy Paper Mario N64 and if this is true, I'm buying it for Wii U day one cause I enjoy all the Parer Mario but the N64 was my most played version.

@Thunderdrone:

Yeah Super Paper Mario was a fun, relaxing and charming game. I loved it.

Agreed with you guys.

In hindsight, Super Paper Mario was alright. I wouldn't have minded it as much if we'd gotten a true TTYD sequel, I imagine.

God forbid I'd rather see them grow and take on IP's (or make their own) they haven't already made three damn games for. They wanted time away from the franchise after Prime 3 and I say give them more time. Either finish up Donkey Kong or make a new game.

Nintendo fans let Rare grow by doing games unrelated to Donkey Kong. Why the hell can't we do that with Retro but instead beg them for another game they already did THREE games for?

You are crazy. It is the GOAT of FE.

@nintendoboy16: Metroid made by PG would be epic.

Y'all both bonkers. It's number two behind Path of Radiance.

@Bigboi500: I don't want to get on this too much and go off topic but PoR had some of the lamest units ever. The one characters I remember from that game are Nephenee and Elincia. The game was great but the companion characters were dull.

I agree with you. Would like a new IP (ideally), or at least something beyond Metroid or DK.

**** that, in hindsight Super Paper Mario was lousy as hell. Shit had none of the benefits of the traditional paper mario combat system, nor the benefits of Mario's platforming which for whatever reason the game tried to fuse. On one hand, great they actually tried to mix it up, on the other hand they made a game with poor mechanics, played out jokes sans the whole internet guy thing, with large stretches of filler (which is a writing failure as much a gameplay failure).

Blows my mind how the same people who do Thousand Year Door, Superstar Saga, and Bowser's Inside Story are the same people that made Thousand Year Door and that new lousy 3DS paper mario.

Off topic FE conversation: Would lean towards Path of Radiance at number 1 over Fire Emblem on the GBA and Sacred Stones, Awakening being beneath them but way the **** above Shadow Dragon and above Radient Dawn.

Honestly they should have been the ones doing Zelda or a Zelda.

@jg4xchamp: I've been replaying FE7 and now I realize we've all been over-rating the game by a good bit. It could be that since it was most of our first experiences with the series, but we've all forgotten just how much of an annoyance the first third of the game is: a large, out-of-your-control tutorial. Of course the game is still superb and gets much better when the three main characters get together, but a lot of the love the game gets is from pure nostalgia.

Sacred Stones problem's are mostly due to the tower and the ability to over-level.

Radiant Dawn was ugly as all hell, but the units that become available later on are really bawse. I'd put both Por and RD above the super outdated 7 & 8 games.

I think new Zelda looks great (though I'm assuming a lot) but yeah, Retro Zelda would be godly, they are a bit wasted doing 2D platformers.

Super Paper Mario was okay, but nothing more than that. The switching between dimensions thing was cool but everything else was just kind average and whatever to me about that game. I'd still put SPM over Sticker Star though.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Cool?

I would rather see a proper 3D Mario game.

It's pretty much confirmed now.

This could be good news.

Nintendo also confirmed that they have unannounced WiiU titles that will release over the next 12 months, so we might even have this by the end of 2015.

So it looks like they're now DLC'ing Pushmo...whelp...

great to see that there's a new Paper Mario game that is pretty much confirmed now though, and hopefully it will actually be great this time.

I edited the OP.

Ninty, please stahp with all this DLC nonsense.

Why are 'IS' (Islamic State) working on this game at all? Seems like Intelligent Systems handled it well, and i'm not familiar with any other IS titles.

Okay, that I wouldn't mind. It's not that I don't want Metroid at all, I just don't think Retro should handle it for the time being for reasons I already stated.

@nintendoboy16: i understand where you are coming from, You wanna see Retro broaden their horizon and not be forced to work on just Nintendo IPs. Id like them to do a adventure game.

Hopefully like the first 2 games and not like the 3rd. I couldn't get into the 3rd at all and never made it past the 4th level I think it was. It's been years though. The 1st 2 games I beat in a week though, just vegging out to them.
