@RyanSilberman Hey, you seem like fun. Can't wait until it comes in the mail Friday! @IAmDeclanJay agreed! It could be fun if it wasn't so darn tedious but you just keep having to look down, scroll through a mega list, pick some, tap and hold, flick, wait, action command, repeat. Not getting all the hate about Sticker Star. (sobs). @A01 Uggghhhhh! The setting is your typical fantasy fairy tale, but the story, especially towards the end tends to lean on the "WTF" side of things. My biggest issues are the lack of depth to the story, the over-saturation of toads, lack of original and varied characters Intelligent Systems are known for, the cumbersome battle system (as well as stupid boss battles) and the over-saturation of toads. Cool to see this game turn out well. (Don't know if getting Big Paint Stars also increases it in addition to health, though). It's spelt without a u in Canada! I'm not getting this either. Name: The name of the enemy. I just call it like I see it. @Kalmaro Probably. Just a fair warning: It IS a Final Fantasy game. Maybe I need more of a challenge to be interested than I was when I was younger. With this release we won't be seeing another game by Nintendo on Wii U until at least March 2017. I think I'll skip this. COLOR???? Turn-based combat is just soo lame and undynamic! The shame is that every one of them were possible to port on the Wii U and I would have happily bought them to play there. I cant say much about the actual story itself, as i mostly followed gameplay playthroughs and never played them myself. Those are some games from the top of my head. Personally I would have given the game maybe a 6/10. That gives me zero motivation. IF youre good friends with google, you could find a fan translated ROM of it But i would "NEVER" entice anyone to do it !The game has very little to do with Chrono Trigger and more with the sequel i was talking about:Chrono Cross (PS1). A Wii U game I'm excited to buy day 1! Yeah. To me the story and combat are the most important parts of Paper Mario, and this says they're still lacking. Ok, it's different than Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door... but it's critically acclaimed and sold better than the first two games in the series (as did Super Paper Mario; the other true non-RPG in the series). You DO have to like reading though, as the game feels like a book occasionally ^^. To use your words, in the old Mario RPG and Paper Mario games, I actually felt "punished for entering battles". @-DEMISE- It is a real shame things went the way they did with the Wii U. I bought a PS3 nearly four months ago and am up to 182 boxed games (because of course they are incredibly cheap nowadays second hand!). Except one place. My only criticism would be that the story (and therefore parts of the gameplay) are a direct rip-off of de Blob. 2. Friday it will be mine! Its battle system thus is more focused on prolonging combos and juggles and almost feels like a brawler.The story isnt groundbreaking, a few "anime" cliches, political struggle about an energy shortage spiking up wars etc. ...I'm just tired of seeing Toads everywhere....-.-, "One genuine improvement is that you're given an actual reason to enter combat this time around". Wonder how well it will do in the UK charts next week with all the great scores. And even that has very little in common with Chrono Trigger. Im personally not the biggest fan of it, but it has its reputation for a reason. I'm not against any and all RPG elements, but for example if there are dozens of variations of the same object, it starts to get ridiculous and meaningless for me personally (doesn't mean others can't enjoy it though). I don't know why I can't just accept that they've ruined the franchise and are never going to make it good again. No Damage number display on Enemy.Overall, still great game to play. Reads like a 9, but receives an 8. Upon arriving, they find the deserted Port Prisma full of spots drained of color. @Slim1999 I know this and BOTW are the last two big releases we've got for Wii U it seems. Both may not be shakespearian epics, but what they offer is both rather fresh and honestly, rather insightful if you have an interest in said mythologies that is. Ah, it doesn't matter. Ultimate Full Character Roster List. That was one of the things I detested most about Sticker Star. Now it's always a Toad. Plus I'm still getting over my disappointment with Paper Jam. Why should I want that? @PlywoodStick Look at it that way:With the drought of good Nintendo games lately (and coming), its time to work on that backlog :^). Type: The type of enemy. Hated by fans, shrugged off by the media. Not a detailed rpg or enough in the other direction. Great. In a post-credits scene, if the player has filled certain requirements, Huey will be seen falling back in the Prisma Fountain. "Both the battle system and the overall plot are still some of the weaker aspects of the experience ". I was let down by Sticker Star after reading positive reviews, so I'll pass on this. It's still just a sword. So, an RPG half whose gameplay is lackluster, and an adventure side whose plot is disappointing ? It looks wonderful and seems to be a nice entertaining (and perhaps relaxing) play. The Summon Things just only 27, lesser than Sticker Star. Super Mario Bros. 35 - A Six-Month Jolt Of Life For An Iconic Classic, Trollhunters: Defenders Of Arcadia - WayForward Take A Big Step WayBack, Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~ - A Solid And Compelling Dungeon-Crawler, Alwa's Legacy - One Of The Best Metroidvanias We've Seen On Switch So Far, Ys Origin - An Awesomely Accessible And Amiable Action RPG, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT97tLHFczQ&ab_channel=TrayzVidz. @IAmDeclanJay That is the way it is spelled in America, so idk why they would spell it like that. Never doubted it for a sold miniute. The game seems a bit shallow. Download Paper Mario ROM for Nintendo 64(N64) and Play Paper Mario Video Game on your PC, Mac, Android or iOS device! I just really miss Bombette, Parakarry, Kooper, Goombario, Lady Bow, Watt, Sushie and Lakilester. Oh well. You're not at all different from them. I play a mission because the story compells me to or because it makes sense or is the right thing to do in the world/story of that particular game. An 8/10 is far too high for this game. Cus in Canada it's spelt with a u. Hmm...maybe later next year or in 2018. Maybe. These Paper Mario scores do not convince me. "Do quest x to get a better sword" - why? If I enjoy this as much as I enjoyed Sticker Star then I should be in for a treat. Discusses themes like suicide, self-sacrifice, bravely and devotion. Paper Mario: Color Splash is a Paper Mario game released for the Wii U on October 7, 2016. The central fountain is dry and missing its famed Big Paint Stars. Just my take on things, though. The factory's destruction causes the castle to fall apart. Roms Isos PSX, PS1, PS2, PSP, Arcade, NDS, 3DS, Wii, Gamecube, Snes, Mega drive, Nintendo 64, GBA, Dreamcast download via torrent That game was just really boring to me. But if you don't like RPGs, that's not going to make the game for you anyway. It has a nice sense of "Adventure" and is one of the few RPGs where talking with random NPC is actually really entertaining. Christmas present this goes! Eg: No shopping (except for strict mandatory), no levelling paint capacity, only collect paint from defeated enemies etc. He asks Mario to help recover them and save Port Prisma. It was the final Mario game to be released for the Wii U. As for RPGs:Crono Trigger (prefered version: DS): Its a classic for a reason and its one of the few time travel plots that at least try to make sense. I'm not a fan of the card based combat or touch screen stuff, but everything else looks great and I'm sure I'll enjoy the creativity, story, characters and humor. A nice swansong for the WiiU before Zelda. It'll be my first Paper Mario. Combat is a means to an end and while it sometimes feels less than optimal in Sticker Star, for instance, the world and the story and how immersive both are is to me what's important. The game is a sequel to the 2012 game Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the Nintendo 3DS. Looks like this may be my first Paper Mario title. It's sheer craziness. @shani I remember de Blob's paint features, too! Yes, it has some joyful elements but the good graphics are not enough to cover the soullessness of the game.But congrats to those who liked it, I guess. The following is a bestiary for all enemies encountered in Paper Mario: Color Splash, with stats derived from in-game data.[1]. On top of that, battles were interesting because you had quick-time events the whole time, so you weren't just sitting there and watching. This page was last edited on September 12, 2020, at 04:52. The second half of the game is very clearly rushed. I was already underwhelmed when I learned it was going to use a card-based battle again (I now realize it's not quite the same as SS, but still). I have really strong opinions on this which make me look like a total badass. Upon arriving at Port Prisma, the three travelers find the town deserted and notice colorless spots and objects. Sounds like the same deal here. Oh wait, it's cards or things. @Shiryu Yours and @ThomasBW84 's comments made me feel genuinely sad for my poor, beloved Wii U. I've never been the biggest Paper Mario diehard around, but I will definitely be picking this one up if for no other reason than to show my Wii U some love. I'm tempted to give this one a try. Example : Watch Battery = Thunder, Battery = Thundara, Car Battery = Thundaga. About what I expected. One stormy night, Princess Peach and Toad meet Mario at his house to deliver a strange letter, a Toad drained of his colors. You should hear them. And it's not right that we have to put up with spelling errors just because of the USA. Seriously looking forward to this on Friday. Who needs a Switch when you can build a WiiU collection on the cheap! Was in two minds until now. I going to shop around for the best price. And for that reason, I'm really hopeful that NX is the hybrid system everyone thinks it will be, because it'll mean not having to buy two systems to play all of Nintendo's current output, and it'll (hopefully) mean that the system will have a healthier library than either Wii U or 3DS could have on their own since Nintendo won't have to split their development resources two ways. Given time, i can probably write entire pages full of recommendations And i probably missed a whole ton of games that blew me away storywise that simply escaped me now.If something springs back to mind, ill drop you a comment ^^. I love everything else about Paper Mario and your review of Color Splash sounds just wonderful - as I expected and even the addition of paint and cards to the combat system sound good. I would have a blast with this game if it was just easier to run out of paint. Quite looking forward to shopping for it now as I loved the first 3 in the series (yep, including the Wii game) and really looking forward to playing it. Not only because she isn't in the game... @memoryman3 Again, Sticker Star also "scored well", and see how that turned out for fans? "That's why I was never a fan of role-playing games. Two more recommendations:Vanillawares "Muramasa" and "Odin Sphere" I recommend the "Rebirth" remake of the former on the Vita, as its script was entirely rewritten to be closer to the japanese original plus it offers affordable DLC chapters, extending the game further.Its rather heavy on Buddhist and Japanese Mythology, so a little knowledge is required there.Same goes for Odin Sphere, which features Norse Mythology elements. Those were some of my all time favourite games. And then afterwards what do you get..coins..woo..because there are so many fun items to buy with those coins right guys? I just don't want to.
