IGN - If you watched Nintendo's brief E3 demo of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, then you've pretty much seen exactly what was playable at this year's Penny Arcade Expo. Without any real introduction Mario's simply dropped into Sticker Star's take on the Mushroom Kingdom, moving as a 2D character in an environment that's a mixture of 2D objects in a 3D space. Mario can do iconic things like smash brick blocks, nab coins and items from question mark blocks and collect the stickers that drive the main mechanics of the game.
We look at every single partner in the Mario franchise ahead of the release of Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Phil writes, "There's little that hurts a gamer more than hearing that a sequel to one of their favorite games is coming out, it releases, and it turns out to be a dud. It's happened to the best of us. It's like having the rug pulled out from under you when a sequel you've been hyping based off of love for its predecessor does less than satisfy when it finally launches. Sometimes it's due to the formula being changed too much and not for the better. Other times it's because the game is missing what made the original so good.
Whatever the reasons may be, SPC is back with a look at six more disappointing video game sequels that failed to deliver or failed to satisfy for one reason or another."
The Punished Backlog's David Silbert writes:
"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.
This game needs more attention from gamers. Paper Mario series is absolute AAA. I think the last PM sold around 3.5 million. That's great, but Paper Mario deserves like 7 million. Can't wait!!!
