Some people in the Switch thread mentioned that the PS3 port of No More Heroes is pretty bad, is it actually bad or just Nintendo fanboys?
Assume I'd much rather play it on a proper controller rather than dumb waggle.

No More Heroes isn't a game where you waggle the controller, your attacks are all button based it's just whether they're high or low depends on how you aim the controller. It's actually pretty nice if not simplistic. I mean I guess the QTEs were motions but they all work.

The PS3 version I believe ran shittier and had a different graphical style or something but also had stuff that referenced the second game so YMMV.

There was waggle to recharge the sword though which was very necessary. Not sure how that was done on PS3

Oh. Yeah. Duh.

But at least there's also ways to replenish it with items in the environment so you end up not doing it as much as you'd think.

Part of the collection coming out includes the Terminal Disc, which summarizes the first four games. I had fun with them but their gameplay is really basic and involves a ton of grinding out materials to unlock areas, especially in the final one (turns part 4 from a 15 hour game to a 30 hour one), so I don't think you're missing out much if you don't play them.

I only beat Infection myself, but I'm gonna try and finish the other three before the G.U. HD games come out.

Kind of glad I waited to try those later ones now.

tbh I would wait to see if they do anything for those games first because the grind is real.

To me 3D World is weirdly underrated, I guess because of the Wii U factor? I'd easily consider it one of the best Mario titles ever made, up there with the Galaxies and World, but it's usually just a footnote in any conversation about the franchise. Beating Champion's Road is one of my most cherish gaming accomplishments.

3D World is the best Mario game ever made.

Color Splash imo looks like an upgrade of Sticker Star by nature of having better writing and more interesting stuff happening but still looks like it suffers from the same issues as Sticker Star combat-wise and aesthetic-wise where it's just a big ol' world populated with toads and the combat is meh and you don't get the interesting cast variety you got from the first two games.

Sticker Star is absolute trash but Color Splash was one of my favorite games from last year. I don't know what the fascination is with Paper Mario 1 and 2 (I didn't really like either whatsoever, but whatevs) but I can say that even when every character is a toad they're all unique enough that it doesn't matter.

If people are still judging this game based on Sticker Star (and haven't just quit reading this post entirely for the sacrilege of not liking PM1 or TTYD) please at least give it a try. You know, with the caveat being you need a Wii U and probably still $60 because I doubt that it went down in price any.
