Come to think of it, I wonder why Mario doesn't have any partners in that video? Either this was taking place early in the game or there won't be a partner walking behind Mario for now on.

Looks great. I'll definitely be buying it once I get my 3DS.

Hey, the stories don't intertwine.

Me too.

I'm glad that the 3D world switching mechanic is gone from Super Paper Mario, but I wished the real time combat would of remained.

That video was great. I loved the original Paper Mario and I'm glad it's returning to its roots, so to speak. Looking forward to this game!

@Pie4Prez, thanks!

This and Mario Kart are getting me pumped for the 3DS!

I want this game so much it hurts - it's the main reason why I want a 3DS to begin with. And just for the record (since a bunch of people seem to hate it) - Super Paper Mario is one of my all time favorite games, but it's not really the same style as the first two so comparing them feels a bit weird. The music is brilliant though, hope it will be in this one too.

This is exactly what I think!

I'm going to have to get a 3DS just because of this game.

Paper Mario is my favorite series ever because of the amazing gameplay, creative envoirnments, and hilarious, witty dialogue.

The TGS video of Paper Mario 3D!

Anyone else thinking that boss at the end would be Goomboss or even King Goomba from the first Paper Mario?

Anyone else see thee little partner in that trailer? it looks like they're sticking with the Pixl designs from Super Paper Mario if this is anything to go by.

@NintyFan There seems to be more emphasis on the fact that they're paper. Nice!

Love the trailer. and I'd love Goomboss to show up (hey! he should be in Mario Kart 7!!)

He was a pleasant surprise in Mario 64 DS.

So I went to Gamestop yesterday because they actually had a copy of Tales of the Abyss, and since I obviously have a 3DS and like RPGs, the guy asked if I wanted to pre-order Paper Mario. When I said that it didn't even have a release date yet, he said that they do have a set release date, but he refused to tell me what it is since I wouldn't pre-order. I'm sure it's just some placeholder date that won't necessarily be correct, but they were right about Xenoblade's release date before it was even announced to be coming here. Has anyone else heard about a date for Paper Mario, or actually had Gamestop tell them what it is?

I can't remember what my store had...but Paper Mario was on the list of upcoming games.

The less info for this game we get, the more my rage builds!
