Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Brings More RPG Action To 3DS Next Year

Looks great. Wish people weren't so over-the-top about this E3

Hell yeah I'll get it!

STILL not the Paper Mario game I want. But much better than the others, and something I do really want to play.

Would have preferred a Wii U entry

YES

Not really what I wanted... sadly
Well, I know I'll be disappointed for 5 more years, but I guess we should be glad that we're still getting something... kind of...

Just...just don't let it disappoint as badly as SS did T_T

This game looks amazing. I'm huge fans of both series, so I'm pumped about this game.

This is what excited me the most, alongside Triforce Heroes. A long-overdue crossover between the Paper and "& Luigi" reimaginings of the Marioverse.

So, haters gonna hate. I'm hyped for this one.

The best (and only) new exciting announcement for me out of the whole show!

Nintendo won E3

I definitely want it, but I wanted a Wii U Paper Mario far more.

Would've liked a Wii U Paper Mario but this'll do. At least the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series are progressing unlike...a certain other series that was shown off.

I want this. Hope it will be great.

This looks so weird and bizarre, I just have to get it because of that! I think we can now state that the NX will be a 3DS successor, there are a lot of games hitting the 3DS here in the next year and I don't think we've seen the last of the Wii U, Nintendo needed to show the 3DS out and now we've gotta a final batch of 3DS games!!!!! My poor, unemployed wallet I need more money and a job for all these great 3DS games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the better games shown.

european name for this game: mario and luigi: paper jam bros

would have been better as a Wii U game, but it does look promising.

The only pleasant surprise of the show. Sigh.

The environments and story shown seem pretty bland in comparison to Dream Team. It's still one of the highlights of the direct though.

This was one of the few things I liked about the Digital Event.

Well, yeah, this looks pretty good. But I really wanted it for the Wii U.

Honestly I'm unsure about this one, I didn't see if there's traditional RPG mechanics (leveling up) or if it's another Sticker Star. I hope for the first.

I never knew I'd want this until they showed it at this year's E3, I love both the Mario & Luigi series and the Paper Mario one so this is a very nice mixture.

.... I don't like the M&L series, but I'm completely fanatical about Paper Mario. Sticker Star was the most disappointing thing in the world, and this doesn't look like it'll be winning me over either. So sad.

i want to get into these action rpg mario games, but non of them are doing it for me

Yes!

Considering the pedigree of the Mario & Luigi series, and Alphadream's Dream Team Bros. was a good game (IMO), then this should be good also.

The disappointment is people really want a proper console Paper Mario game (me included) which Nintendo have neglected since the Gamecube (I'm not including Super Paper Mario).

I think we forget Nintendo is one company which pretty much has 2 systems to support single handed. This E3 really hits that point home. Then again, if their resources are limited why the heck do they waste them on games no one has asked for? I guess that's how they've innovated in the past (DS, Wii), but somehow I don't see weird Metroid coop game, Zelda coop game and AC board game doing that!! I just wanted Mother 3 on the VC.......

Oh no... Alphadream. Dream team was one of the worst Nintendo games I ever played. This seems to be basically a sequel, reusing some of the paper Mario assets.

None of the paper Mario goodness... I'll be waiting on reviews for this for sure.

This was the highlight of the Digital Event for me (along with Star Fox and Mario Maker). Everything else was complete trash.

Although its not many asked for this one does look intrigueing, it actually looks like a lot of fun and it suits me better. Just don't be a big tutorial like Dream Team.

This is a crossover I wanted for years! Biggest highlight for me!

Are they going to be allowed to create their own characters for this game? I feel like that was what really held Sticker Star back. It ALL just felt so insufferably been there, done that. If this goes down the same route I won't know what to do.

One of the only good things out of this event,the rest garbage.

@Iggly Your crying Akari avatar is very appropriate right now.

Looks like a good game with standard Nintendo level of innovation.

This was a total disappointment for me. All I wanted was a proper Paper Mario game going back to what it used to be/should be and not what happened after the thousand year door. Worst Nintendo E3 since 2008

This, Zelda and Star Fox were all I was wowed by game wise.

@ikki5 @EarthboundBenjy Yes QQ I know your feel

This looks fantastic.

I love this crossover idea! The best (new) thing I've seen at Nintendo's E3

Thank God we at least got this and Starfox.

Nuff' Said

never expected this, but I bet it'll be good, alphadream is a solid developer and the M&L titles are great. disappointed that we aren't getting a real new Paper Mario

I think its a cool idea to mix the two games together

tries not to whimper breathes in and out. .....Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi Crossover. shivers....Truly greatness can come from this.....especially after s--s-sticker star.

I'm on the fence with this one. Paper Mario has been turning me off recently, although I still enjoy the Mario & Luigi games.

I'll just have to wait and see.

I don't know how I feel about this but I think I like it.

Q) Are you excited about another Mario & Luigi game for 3DS?

A) I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the Mario & Luigi games, and have still yet to pick up Mario & Luigi: Dream Bros.

That said, I love Paper Mario, and I love the look of this completely unexpected crossover. This game is a definite must have.

The only problem I'd say is that it's reveal lost a lot of it's lustre with how much Mario was focused on in the Digital Event.

When the two Bowsers got into a fight my bank account knew it could not hide.

Omg this is my favourite reveal of E3. So excited for this <3

THIS. JUST THIS... one of the best moments in Nintendo's E3 presentation. Mario & Luigi X Paper Mario,can't wait.

This looks good. I've never been a fan (or played) Paper Mario or Mario RPG's so maybe I might have to try it out.

Looks decent, just I am so hesitant to buy another Paper Mario as I hated the last two. I may buy it a little after launch and see people's impressions.

So they decided to consolidate the two Mario RPG series'. It's funny, at first, the Paper Mario series had to grow on me, but I can say that I like it, but I've always loved the M&L series. Now here they are, fused into one game. It can't fail at this point, plus Paper Mario has some serious redeeming to do anyway. I wouldn't mind if this was a farewell to Paper Mario-- we don't really need two series anyway, but that's just imo.

I liked both series (especially Paper Mario), but seeing them crossing over in this game left me mixed (at first). On one hand, it is intriguing to see Intelligent Systems and Alpha Dream collaborating with each other, but the other hand bothers me that there's Sticker Star influence in it (As much as I liked Sticker Star as the other three titles in the series, that game SHOULD NOT be the representative of Paper Mario), with a silent Paper Bowser and Paper Toads shown so far. Then again, this is a trailer and we may see more than that. Hopefully there will be more to that because again, I liked Sticker Star, but I wouldn't want its properties to reappear in another game (Thanks a lot, Smash 3DS...). I do want some of its beneficial gameplay ideas to return in the next traditional Paper Mario game, that is...if we'll ever get one

After seeing its gameplay footage at the Treehouse, I guess I'll buy it since it looks to be both utilizing creativity and slowly simplifying M&L's gimmicky battle mechanics after Superstar Saga. One thing I don't like so far is having to control three characters at the same time (

Worst part of the entire e3 direct. Pissed me off so much.

I was hoping for a spiritual successor to Paper Mario 64.

I will be getting this. I am actually excited about this. It looks cool. I love both series.

It's not for me, but I giggled like a little boy at the trailer. Hopefully Nintendo learned their lesson from Sticker Star.

Mario & Luigi with Paper Mario. Oh this will be very fun! Very excited for this!

Not what anyone was expecting, but I'm really glad they're still innovating and shaking up the M&L series, it'll be great I'm sure. Disappointed that we won't get a full Paper Mario for probably a long time now, though.

i'm looking forward to this game.

I hear a lot of comments about this being the only good thing.

I don't know if people are blind or if I just like crappy games, but there's at least 15 1st party games on the way that I'm buying day one.

I never understood why there are two different Mario RPG series. I guess I understand even less the decision to cross them over.

I was actually excited about a possible Paper Mario for Wii U, but sadly this one doesn't make me feel a thing. Maybe it's a reflection of my overall disappointment with Nintendo's E3 showing, but if so I guess I'll see about that whenever I'm more level-headed.

Return of Chippy! Really looking forward to this one!

@JaxonH - Most of the comments we're from 8 hours ago, ie right after the show, the show that even you called "lame", I'm sure people are feeling better now. And this might have been the most positive thread of the day.

My kids both liked the show, they watched it after school together. My youngest was most excited about Metroid and the Bowser amiibo, my oldest just wants SMM. They both thought the Star fox graphics were fine, though my oldest did say Xenoblade on Wii is better.

Time to move on, tomorrow's another day.

@rjejr
I should clarify. 3DS was dunked head first in awesomeness. 3DS announcements are flowing like milk and honey: Chibi Robo, Monster Hunter X, Paper Jam, Metroid Prime Federations, Zelda Triforce Heroes, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Fates, Legend of Legacy, Bravely Second, Yokai Watch... 3DS has it goin on!

It was the Wii U announcements that were lame. StarFox was hype, but the Animal Crossing board game? Come on. Mario Tennis? Ya ok, I'll buy it but it's not exactly hype know what I mean? I think they had announced so many games last year but haven't released that they really didn't have much left to announce this year. Truth be told we have one of the best fall and spring lineups since the console launched. And they're all GOOD GAMES! It's just that we knew about all of them ahead of time. I think we were all hoping for at least one big surprise announcement which we never saw.

As for Metroid Prime Federations btw, I think the game looks fantastic and will prove to be a gem in its own right. Obviously it's not going to be of the same caliber as a mainline series entry, but I do think the game deserves to be judged on its own merits rather than crapped on for not being what people secretly hoped for.

I hated Sticker Star and dream team was Meh to me at best so I'm gonna have to tread carefully on this one.

It looks alright, but far from the game I was hoping for.

Mainly another Paper Mario in the style of TYD, and for the Wii U. Sigh, I am going to hold off on buying this unless it gets great reviews.

Definitely picking this up. Dream Team was really fun.

Seeing the two Bowser's fighting reminded me how much I love this series. I remember waiting so long for the 3rd one when it came out in Japan back in 2009.

@JaxonH - Yeah, 3DS got the love. Know how I know 3DS got the love? Talking heads. They had talking heads for Starfox, SMM, YWW and Skylanders, b/c Wii U had so few games they had to milk them for screen time by having talking heads. 3DS games were so plentiful they just had to show them and people could simply see them for themselves. I'd buy a 3DS for Paper Jam, or FE:Fates. Not for Metroid or Zelda but they were 2 new games in 2 big franchises. I'm honestly surprised they didn't show a "new" 3DS exclusive to promote that as well. As great as FE:Fates looked I thought that might have that "new" logo at the end of the trailer.

But I'm guessing people will get over their disgust and start focusing on the games, you just have to give them time. (Time forget AC:aF is a thing.)

Hurrah, Hurrah. The new Sticker Star.

Look, the things that made Paper Mario great was that it was an immersive game. You can't immerse yourself in a screen smaller than your hand.
They had great designs and stuff too. You just can't appreciate that properly on a 3ds, it doesn't feel right.

Haters gonna hate. Any fans of either series (or even better... BOTH) should have this as a must-buy on their list no matter the reviews. Don't look at the public, find out for yourself. Sticker Star... is pretty bad so the public is right about that. I know Paper Jam though is a must-buy on my list and maybe it'll make up for Sticker Star!
