I don't know. Ill get it, but I was kinda hoping it would be more like the first two games. Don't like the look of the battle system tbh.

The battle system, while not being like an actual RPG, looks far more strategic than both Sticker Star and Color Splash. Good news overall on that front.

Sadly, it seems like allies won't take the big role I expected...

Edit, I'll put this trailer on the OP

Partners are back and have names again! The bosses are hilarious! World is beautiful! Combat looks fun and challenging (more then the last trailer). I'm surprised in a good way!

Looks like a unique take on the battle system, could definitely see some nice strategy involved. Tape and pencils as bosses is so stupid that I kind of can't help but love it lol.

Not my (paper)cup of tea, but looks good for what it is.

Also, this game seems to be the go-to for Nintendo the day after a big Sony thing haha. UE5 on PS5? Announce Paper Mario! PS5 console reveal and games blowout? Drop the second Paper Mario trailer! 

It still worries me if battles have some kind of reward. The only thing they seem to give, so far, are coins. And alot of them. I really hope there is a point to battling, otherwise I'm skipping this.

Some additional footage:

Either you're being sarcastic or seeing things that aren't there.  Remember correlation does not imply causation.

I wasn't being entirely serious, just that it's funny that this is the second time they've dropped a trailer for this game the day after a big PS5 showing.

The added footage highlights an added detail to battle as your permanent partner gives you added abilities like the summon like attack with the Turtle this ability is also seen in the other video where Mario summons a Water Dragon against a boss which happens to be a Phoenix. Seeing as you fight the Turtle before you gain it I'm guessing the Phoenix is also a summon ability when defeated, one of these summons is shown to be used outside of battle so the others might be used in such a manner as well also shown is the field skill Mario uses is also used in battle for certain attacks.
