Similar to Sticker Star, then, right? Instead of EXP increase, you got stronger and stronger cards that allowed you to take on harder and harder enemies. It's been a while so I might be misremembering.

Honestly the card system really never bothered me all that much in Sticker Star, I just hated having to use specific ones in order to beat bosses. Hopefully they've got rid of that.
This looks fun, and absolutely gorgeous. Definite buy from me.
I feel like I need to get myself a membership card to join the small club of people who liked Sticker.

Wii game has a huge advantage of the wii having a massive install base

Because PM 1 and 2's ultra flat character progression and borderline bad experience rot were what made them good in the first place.
Super Paper Mario, tho...

That game looks insanely good. Don't know about the gameplay though.
Wait for the NX heh.
Why do sales always get brought up? It's too simplisitic of an argument.
Super Paper Mario did the most by far.
The next game proceded to be the opposite of Super Mario Mario.
Going by sales, Sticker Star should've been a dissertation of dialogue with platforming, no battle transition, and 50 original chracters
it's not sales. It's them doing whatever they want

Searching for Toads? This is exactly like Paper Jam.
Why... just why?

Again, compare to install base. Wii games sold a lot because wii install base was massive

there's shy guy tho.....
you're in luck now there's TWO resources to run out of by battling, cards and paint
double the fun
The color bar as a max value showed in numbers. It is pretty obvious that the value can change, improving by playing.They also added strategy to card battles with color level and actual better fitting cards depending on the enemies and in doing so they added value to the environmental exploration that gives you the cards and the colors refills
Music and graphics are great, now I just hope for a bare minimum story (and amiibo)
Yes... in fact I remember I had to time presses for almost any kind of attack.
No, you need to blame the people that bought Sticker Star.
It's not like Nintendo's recent output has been defined by business acumen.
It literally works the same as every other turn-based Paper Mario as far as combat is concerned. All that changed was relying on an ever-changing line-up of one-time use stickers (and cards here) to perform those actions.

This honestly doesn't look that bad. It's disappointing that there's no exp and it's just a bunch of toads instead of actual characters but maybe it will be decent?
And the 3DS install base crushes the Gamecube and N64. So Sticker Star should've done even more if we're going by that.

The Sticker Star 2 confirmation is a big let down, but pretty much I assumed. Passing on the game.

I never played Sticker Star, what was so atrocious about it? Seems like the series has always veered on the casual side of things. I love TTYD, but thought the Wii one was boring as shit. Color Splash looks better than that at the very least.
Gotta figure out something to do with all those Toads, without any fun characters to leverage.
Searching for Toads was the first thing you do in Sticker Star as well, right?
After seeing the Toad focus in Mario Party, I guess Nintendo is really just pushing Toad as a big recognizable character alongside Mario and Luigi.

Can you guys find all the toads?
Fucking Toads. Sent them all to an island and nuke it.
Compare install base of the 3DS.
Compare the install base of the Wii U.
What conclusion can we even draw?

The game looks really good and I don't mind the battle system. It's not great, but I don't mind it. I'd play it. I just don't see the reasoning behind having every other character be a Toad. If the NPCs had a bit more charm, I'd be all in for it.
My hopes are that it's just this area, but I'm not holding my breath.

So do people not find every NPC looking exactly the same (except sometimes a different colour) incredibly bland and boring? And especially since this is the third RPG in a row of this...I know I'm caught up on this but the platformers like Mario Galaxy had different races of creatures you interact with. It's such a small thing but I think it really sucks the life out of the world when everyone looks the same.

This is Paper Mario we are talking about. The first 3 games have been masterpieces, not just decent. They had a amazing story, great original characters, humor, charme, great RPG gameplay and a lot more.
Whats the point in releasing a decent game, when we could get something MUCH, much better?

Dude, uh... Notice the 3DS install base compared to gamecube or even N64 install base?? That's a big reason why sticker star did better than PM64 or TTYD.
