Overview Trailer for Paper Jam

Looks super good. Koopalings are in, Papercraft Luigi and Kamek and a bunch more other fun stuff- including the fact Paper Bowser actually talks :allears:

Is it just me or did they Sticker Star this game in terms of characters, locales, etc? It looks like generic ol' SMB stuff with a minimum of wacky made-up-for-this-game bullshit a la every other Mario & Luigi game.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

They have to keep reminding people that those are not the old abilities but the exact same functions done with new paper mario. And then they slip and show old duo attacks with PM just standing on the sideline cheering.

And you can amibo to straight-up damage enemies?

Honestly it looks kind of ugly, but I think the 2D ones weren't selling that great at this point anyway. Bowser Inside Story was so good

Ah poo poo I have Ocarina but its downloaded so I assume they patched that out.

AFAIK, OOT needs to be on cart because you are supposed to use an older 3DS to cook up an exploit on its saves and then use the cart on the Nu3DS with said exploited saves within. Just buy Cubic Ninja if you have any interest in running import 3DS games or messing with emulators (CPS2 emulation is a very good thing to have on a mobile device).

Going off of what someone said who has like a preview build or review copy, it looks like they did. They said they haven't encountered any original characters or locations. In the end who knows, but it looks like that may have just happened. Hopefully it'll be more fun to actually play.

They didn't slip up, the old duo attacks have been known since the game got revealed. Bros have their usual special abilities between the two of them (some new ones too) and Paper Mario holds the triple attacks.

Also the plot seems to be luigi bumps into a book case causing sticker star's book to fall out and that's the excuse for why it's sticker star stuff. Ontop of that in regards to the settings there's been a few screenshots showing the "real" world becoming paper craft in the background so I'd guess that's why it's a bit more standard, so they could blend it a bit better. At least that's what I'm assuming.

Iunno, I think people are being weirdly harsh on it when the M+L team has been pretty consistent with making good games. At least I haven't really been burned by it yet.

I hate to be an apologist, but 1) Ash is not a full-time employee, 2) the other two guys do not live anywhere close to him and 3) they probably need their 3DS capture software for their own work.

Not really? Like if you take out the dream dungeons dream team had pretty standard locales such a desert area, grass area, mountain area and so on. With Bowser's Inside Story as well all the more unique dungeons were in Bowser and done on the 2d maps, which I guess may have been taken out because Paper Mario's abilities on the maps seem to all be about how he's 2d and can go into cracks and stuff. I preferred the 3d maps anyway so this doesn't bother me much at all.

Also thread, what is the opinion on Youkai watch? I've been thinking of getting it because I remember it was really big in Japan but now that it's out in the west how does everyone like it?

The goddamn worthless map has really turned me off from this game. There's a ton of sidequests you can do but good luck trying to figure out where the hell you're supposed to go... some quests do mark it if you go into quest log details, and some don't (they mark the origin of the quest or something like that, but tell you to go to some other place... that you might not remember or be familiar with). It's almost always fetch quests too though, so it gets repetitive fairly quickly. The boss fights have been fun and probably the best part for me, the regular monster fights not so much, and catching stuff in the game is a pain in the rear end. I'll probably keep playing it but I don't really feel like I want to most of the time...

if your favorite part of pokemon is running around and collecting monster pals, you'll probably like yokai watch. if your favorite part of pokemon is the competitive metagame, you should probably look elsewhere.

I am absolutely terrible at the competitive metagame aspect of pokemon. So Yokai watch sounds like the game for me!

I've heard that Yokai Watch 2 improves on the first in every way, can anyone speak as to whether or not the map is better there too? Because I'm loving the game but yeah the map is bunk.

I love Yokai Watch but yea 2 is better in literally every way. The map is less spread out and annoying to run across as well as all the other stuff.

Hopefully Nintendo hitching all their not pokemon horses to its wagon means we'll get 2 soonish.

They were cranking out Inazuma Eleven games by the end so I'll be shocked if Yokai Watch 2 isn't out by September of next year - maybe even earlier if they want YW3 to launch simultaneously worldwide.

The 3DS Monster Strike game is due out in about a month, too.

By the time they released the 3DS PAD it was like 2 years behind the mobile game in terms of gameplay :/
