Probably not worth a whole thread on this, but what the hell..

I never played Mario Paint on the SNES but I heard it was pretty cool. I was looking forward to it on the 64DD but we all know how that turned out.

Since the design philosophy of Nintendo seems to favor more 'non-games' like this.. I think it would be a blockbuster. It would be cool with the DS's touch screen and wireless capability.

Has anyone heard anything about a possible Mario Paint DS?

 

[olimario]

I sure hope so. It would be great to draw a picture and set certain layers into a certain type of motion.
Or draw a picture and have a bunch of filters to run it through.

 

[Sapiens]

I wouldn't hold it past miyamoto and his droogs. What with those N64DD studio games and other bizarre software they seem to put out once in a while. Now they actually have a unit that seems to be a good match for it.

 

[Laguna X]

You would think that this would be a no-brainer, since the touchpad is the biggest feature of the DS. What the hell is Nintendo thinking? MAKE IT HAPPEN.

 

[imastalker co.]

as cool as Mario Paint DS would be, Nintendo really should just get off their asses and remake, or supe up Mario Artist for the DS, and bust out that camera that would go into the GBA slot already.

yet, another megaton app that the DS could have as far as sales go.

 

[worldrunover]

Yeah I never thought about it, but it does malke perfect sense.

 

[jett]

We really fucking should. Mario Paint was one of my favorites on SNES. I think Nintendo has forgotten about this classic...someone remind those sons of bitches!

 

[Ruzbeh]

How well did Mario Paint do on the SNES, in terms of sales numbers?

 

[opkal]

As long as it has the fly swatting mini-game.

some info on Mario Artist...

Mario Artist: Paint Studio
it pretty much let you do the kind of stuff you could do on MS Paint. using the Capture Cartridge or the GameBoy Camera with Transfer Pack would allow you to put your own pictures in the game. and mess around with those too. it also let you make your own little flip books too. it also had 3 3D enviroments and let you mess around with the creatures by changing textures and stuff like that. they consisted of some dinosaur world, mars, and some kind of ocean world.
it also had a polygonal 4 player Fly Swatting game.

Mario Artist: Polygon Studio
well, all this really was was a program that let you make 3D models, make textures, put them on your models, and stuff like that.

Mario Artist: Talent Studio
this has to be the coolest one of the group. it was pretty much a movie maker. once again if you wanted to, you could use the Capture Cartridge or the GameBoy Camera with Transfer Pack to put your face on a variety of character models, and make crazy movies. i won't bother going into details, just check out an example of the kind of stuff you could do though.

the movie is a must watch.
5MB Movie

anyways, supposedly all the Mario Artist programs worked with each other, so i don't see why you couldn't make a texture on Paint Studio, or a character model in Polygon Studio, and use them in your Talent Studio movies.

Mario Artist has to be easily the coolest possible spiritual sequal they could've made for Mario Paint. that is, unless they bust one out for DS. imagine all this, with touch screen and mic controls. done deal.

 

[shibbs]

Oh man, i wanted that 64DD so bad

 

[GDGF]

Shit, at this point I say make a petition and site and hope for the best. Nintendo seems to actually be listening at this point, so you might as well go the grassroots, er, route. It couldn't hurt.

 

[Dreamfixx]

Of course not; it's too obvious.

 

[argon]

Of course not; it's too obvious.

The sad truth...
Maybe the whole 64DD debacle just soured their idea for a new Mario Artist/Paint/Polygon game.

I think the Artist's Polygon Studio thing would have some really awesome capabilities in DS games. Imagine creating your own 3d toys and importing them to a game like Nintendogs, or actually designing the look of your dog.

 

[Ruzbeh]

Imagine creating your own 3d toys

Penisses.

or actually designing the look of your dog.

Penis dogs.

 

[Oxymoron]

Of course not; it's too obvious.

I think you may be confusing Nintendo with Sega.

 

[Torpedo]

oh ,, I forgot about this mario game for a long time ,, I remember how cool it was in the Snes days ; ;

As much as I loved Mario paint in the day (I even hooked up my VCR to record my drawings), I don't think it'd cut it in todays world without some major overhauls (I'm talking Photoshop levels, where you can upload jpgs via Playyan or internet, and download them again after editing).

Why? Mario Paint came out just before teh big home PC boom. I had fun, becasue I ddin't have MS paint, which was perhaps less fun, but about as functional (if not more so). Every feature, bar the Mario touches are available to everyone now, and unless it actually has some practical value, or something that is actually fun, I don't see it happening.

I'm sure it would have a trade feature at least. Heck, with Nintendo going WiFi, anythings possible.

 

[Speevy]

I still remember that barking/meowing song by heart, even 15 years later.

 

[mrkgoo]

Haha, oh yeah, that music thing...I'm not even musically enclined, but I spent ages going through the Mario theme replacing the notes with different animals and instruments. THAT's the kind of fun it would need.

What if they made it something akin to Oekaki? WiFi connectivity with friends (and maybe even group work on a picture), maybe even being able to post them to a (moderated/approval-based for obvious reasons) online gallery, or even themed galleries. Able to save the pictures you make to Play-Yan, or trade them with friends, and possibly future upload capabilities to the Revolution (maybe drawing your own user icon or wallpaper or whatnot).

I'd rather they save that for REV's dashboard. Image those tools updated and intergrated into the dash. You can design new levels, chars, items for legacy games or make char models for any REV game.

My problem with DS with any kind of a creative app like Mario Paint is the storage. I'm sure Nintendo can eat the cost of a fairly large flash ROM for the cartridge that would allow for a mani fold increase in customization and storage of files compared to the first game. But really, unless you're satisfied with just doddling and simple animations that never leaves the DS, Mario Paint DS will always be half crippled in that way. Also the original Mario Paint worked on a 16 color palette. That would be downright archaic by today's standards. Any create app on the DS needs at least 256 colors to have any decent looking output.

IMHO, any creative app in this day and age needs SD support as a mass storage medium and it needs some kind of interface with the internet and PC to allow people to transfer their creations into jpg, gif or some video format that they can archive and send around via e-mail. Lacking those features, Nintendo might as well call whatever Mario Paint they are designing as Mario Paint Classic and only sell it as such.
