Forums - Nintendo - So Paper Mario Color Splash is a huge flop

HyrulianScrolls on 04 November 2016

I think the reason Nintendo didn't listen to fans about disliking Sticker Star's direction is because it ended up being the second best selling game in the franchise. So they just assumed it was a winning formula for the franchise. But that was only because it was on a platform with a bigger install base than any other Paper Mario game besides Super Paper Mario. I just hope this doesn't kill the series off. Or maybe that would be good and we could get a new Mario RPG that was actually more like the first two PM games.

Well, because other people say that, doesn't mean it is true. I enjoyed the battle system, as there felt to be a bit of a puzzle element to it, rather than just choosing your attack and just.... doing it. I'd say it's more interesting than some of the standard RPGs out there. There are some of those things in CS in a sense. Being able to get enemy cards is in a sense like having partners, and since there are many types of those, there are some great situational moments for some of the enemy cards. Shell enemies can attack multiple enemies on the ground, spiked enemies can't be jumped on, and the shy bandit is great for collecting enemy cards you don't have. Plus, they stick around as long as possible, until they're knocked out by enemies. Battles are interesting in that there is a lot of experimentation in it. When you get deeper into the game, you can use multiple cards, and enemies are arranged in a certain order, which makes choosing your cards and in what order to use them more interesting. It def gives a new twist to the standard battle system. Also, there are a variety of moves and improvable stats as well. They're just not done in a traditional sense. There is no new gear, but really, that's not really needed. CS does an excellent job pacing itself, coming down to not how high leveled you are, but how skilled you are.

Doesn't mean it's not true either, though I never use what other people say as a reason. I could simplify CS the same, just pick a card and use it, but even CS has a little more to it than that. You do a good job describing it and making it sound interesting. In a vaccum that'd maybe even convince me, but alas there are many other RPGs out there including others within the same series that have everything you described and more/better. I could go in-depth, but it's unlikely we're gonna change the other's view. If you enjoy the battle system then that's good, I'm glad for ya. I have no qualms with those that bought this game since it's selling so low anyway!  

Unfortunately, I can't tell you how it compares to SS, since I haven't played it. I wanted to for comparison's sake, but my friends strongly advised it, so I won't be doing that. I'm glad my description of the game peaked your interest a lil, though I don't think you'd enjoy it all that much, but I'll still have my qualms about it selling poorly. : /

Nah, if metacritic says is a 76 then is a shitty game for sure lol 

So does this game deserved to be hated to death and used as an argument of how terrible Nintendo is doing? Or is just a stupid overreaction from the internet coming mostly from people that are not even gonna play it as usual?

It reminds me a lot TTYD. Everyone should give a shoot. I was unsure about it, but now it is worth every penny. And I bought at full price!

It's a good game, that's for sure. The only problems for me are combat system and "Toad overload", but writing, graphics, presentation, charm, level design... are amazing. So I think it's worth every penny yeah. I was really critic about the game before its release, and now I'm more of a defender. Shocking xD.
