The Official Super Paper Mario anticipation thread

[shams]

LOL, you beat me to it - was about to post exactly the same link! :)

 

Here are a couple of quotes to justify my reply:

I just finished playing through the first chapter of Super Paper Mario, small bits of which I sampled at GDC this year. I'm not at all surprised that I'm thoroughly enjoying the game, I expected that. What does surprise me though is how effortlessly (at least it feels that way) Nintendo manages to continue to make such a dated franchise feel fresh.

...

I won't, I can't give you any final judgment on the game, I just received it a half-day ago, but I can tell you that it certainly lives up to the franchise's name and on first blush I'd say it's probably the best game to hit the platform to date, or will be when it ships next week.

...

One last word before I return to the game. The graphics really sparkle on my big screen. The colors are vibrant the design unique, the aesthetic pleasing. The sound too has a nice new feel to it, I noticed several occasions where the sound of wind or an approaching something bad seemed to flow past me from one overhead surround speaker to the next.

...

I think once a few games hit the Wii that *really* show off how good the graphics can be, this trend of half-assed ("its only got 3-asses - its useless!") ports to the Wii will fade away.
