A party game would have requiered them to do something different. This looks like a copy paste from SS. Anyway, I'm losing hope that Nintendo will come back with the NX. Now my day 1 purchase is a wait and see approach. Not confident enough that they can do again a good Paper Mario.
I'll try to explain. In this image you can see the charm of The Thousand Year Door (NGC-2004) and the bland of Sticker Star and Color Splash:
In the case of past games, those were RPG's, well recived, with great battle systems and a nice story. At least way better than the normal Mario games. For example, in TTYD Peach becomes a vessel of a milenia witch and you have to fight with Dark Peach as the final boss. In the new ones, Miyamoto told them that the story was not important. On top of that, they ruined the combat system for something terrible. Stickers/cards found everywhere and with only one use. Basically, a terrible gimmick, while the original ones where RPG's that you can level up. If you go to youtube you can see different strategies, some level up their badge points, other their FP or their HP, you have partners with different abilities. One of the stages in the interconnected overworld in TTYD is a battle arena where you are called The Great Gonzalez as you are pro fighter. In conclusion, Color Splash is nothing about Paper Mario, just the name and art style. |
So it was a pretty diverse and complex game with a lot of personality in the past (for a Mario game)... and now they have simplyfied it alot? Well, that sucks for the fans...
