So M&L is a light RPG with many action elements, Paper Mario is essentially no longer an RPG at all, and people that really want a true Mario RPG can be satisfied with this. It seems like a really neat idea. I do wonder how it will turn out, if it's being internally developed at Ubisoft and not at IS or Nintendo EAD. Is it the Child of Light team? Is it a team with little RPG experience but Nintendo is helping them out with that? Or is it another team altogether? Nintendo must have a lot of faith in the development to let it be a finalized game, and not merely a prospective game in early demo form. January Switch presentation will be extremely interesting. |
That reminds me, we'll get a Mario & Luigi RPG on home console too, that will be pretty cool.
What doesn't sound cool is this game however. I wonder how simple the RPG mechanics will be. I assume they will be very light and this is Nintendo still trying to appeal to a younger audience
