Holy crap! After hearing how anal Nintendo got about their character designs cause of branding after Super Paper Mario, I was positive they’d never remake this. I’m super excited!!
Basically the upper management was getting mad that Paper Mario was taking on too much of its own identity compared to the broader Mario brand. It’s why Origami King is mostly just Toads all over the place.
When the newest Paper Mario game came out, the developers said in some interviews that the reason the games style completely changed in Sticker Star and beyond is that Nintendo got super protective over how their characters are depicted. They weren’t allowed to make their own variations of established Mario-world inhabitants (like a professor Goomba or a pirate Bomb-omb or a purple Kamek named Kammy), they either had to use the characters as they were (such as just “Toad”, or just “Kamek”) or use their own completely original designs. It’s also why none of the recurring characters from past games showed up since Super Paper Mario.
SPM had THE BEST story out of any Mario game ever because of the characters, from my perspective it were the changes to combat and world design that people hated, even though I think it works for the game itself.
There really got me with this one… I was soooo excited for some F-Zero news… the music… the pixel look… then a shift to HD graphics and the a announcement of a new game… oh wait this was in my head!
Instead we got a battle royale.
Don’t get me wrong, I still take it and play it… but this was really brutal. :(
I mean, the whole backstory to F-Zero X sounds an awful lot like this game; no rules, death race, massive field. It feels like this game fills a gap between X and the original
I quite literally just started the SNES original, for the first time, 3 days ago… Guess I’ll stop and wait for the Switch release. The 2D graphics are surprisingly charming, but I bet the new version will have some QoL improvements.
I know it’s not spam, sorry, it’s just that you posted 30 times in about half an hour. I like the content, that’s why I asked instead of just blocking you and moving on. (And I’m not trying to be a Karen like “do what I say or I’ll block you!”, I know it won’t impact you at all if I block you, just trying to explain my reasoning behind the request. I really don’t want to block you, I do like your posts)
Either way these events are pretty infrequent. There’s another one later today (Sony event), but after that you shouldn’t be seeing so many posts from me in the coming weeks.
