Topic: Mario and Luigi RPG 4

M&L4 should have Mario brothers AND Wario & Waluigi as playable characters. I´d like to see Waluigi in an actual Mario game (not another sports one).

That definitely sounds like something Nintendo should run with. Maybe work WarioWare, Inc. into it somehow.

I'm curious as to how/if sprites would work. I don't think they should destroy the sprites, but rather "3D-ize" them, like the 3D classics. Or they could just make fully 3D characters and worlds; I think it would be a cool idea if the game did the whole "Dimensions" theme, where Mario & Luigi/Wario & Waluigi entered different dimensions where they changed from sprites to 3D models ect.

PiT and BIS both had their own unique gameplay styles - two sets of characters in PiT; button-based Mario/Luigi stuff and touch screen-based Bowser stuff in BIS - so it wouldn't surprise me if a fourth game toyed around with making 3D.a key component in or didn't use it in a 50/50 split. What is certain is that given the series' track record, whatever Nintendo and Alpha come up with, it'll be awesome.

Hey those are great ideas. Now I really want to see ML&WW game.

This needs to happen. I love this series.

I don't really know what they could do with it though. But I bet they'll figure some clever stuff up. I'd like it if they stayed with the bird perspective but kind of skipped the sprites to a more clean look that looks less pixelated. I'd also like it if they try to make it the biggest one yet. Maybe use the airport and being able to go back to 'Bean Bean Kingdom', one new place, as well as the Mushroom kingdom.

And a new awesome antagonist like Cacletta or Fawful would be nice. They could just make a story about the antagonist threatening the whole Mario world, that would be a good excuse to revisit Bean Bean Kingdom and some other new places. I'd love that.

I bet I would be happy with whatever they come up with though. As long as I get a new game in the series

I wouldn't be surprised if the events of the next game have already been mentioned in the series. Try playing all of the games in order, you'll notice there seems to be a lot of foreshadowing going on.

Bowser died at the end of Super Mario Bros, and therefore he couldn't logically make an appearance in any Mario games that followed.

Bowser used cheat codes you know.

I kinda figured we would get a new villain, then the game after that would involve Midbus and his minion...see the pattern? lol

Um, no thank you. I don't want it in 3D. Stereostopic 3D yes, but keep the game an overhead view. Make the characters look exactly like the art in the instruction manuals and such. make it look like a drawing come to life similar to Wario Land SHake It, only using the M&L official artwork. I would seriously love that.

I wonder if the Shroob Princess will wake up... If you havn't beaten and gone through a hidden challenge/battle in BiS, then don't worry if you don't know what I'm talking about.

But man, I really want to return to the BeanBean Kingdom- maybe a different part of the Kingdom with some familiar parts kept?

And i secind Wario and Waluigi being in the game.

Sorry, I wasn't saying "change the view." I was thinking about keeping the same overhead view, but make Mario & Luigi 3D, like in Galaxy, for only certain parts of the game. But now that you mentioned the concept art style from the instruction books, I think your idea is better than all of mine!

I kinda prefer the 2D and cartoony look for M&L games. Paper Mario is handling the 3D part, so M&L will stay 2D.

Mario & Luigi: Wario & Waluigi is an EPIX idea!
Here's another title:
M&L4: Wario & Waluigi: Partners in Crime!

I think, for the story, it would be a good to have Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi team up; Mario and Luigi must accomplish the task of saving the mushroom kingdom, while Wario and Waluigi are the criminals who steal objects that Mario and Luigi need in order to save the mushroom kingdom. Both the Mario and Wario bros. fight enemies along the way. They communicate via 3DS's (similar to the way Luigi and Egad used the gameboy horror); the 3DS could act as the skippy of the game, being the one who does all of the talking for the silent heroes: Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. I still don't know about the antagonist, but I'd like it to be someone new; I liked the return of Fawful, but I think it's time for a new villain.

Looks like someone else is ahead of us on this idea.

That actually looks really good for being fake, lol.

Okay, now that I've seen that, it has to happen.

lol Mario's expression.
