Paper Mario and New Style Boutique Discounts Arrive on My Nintendo in Europe

Nice! How much are they with the applied discount? Tempted by Paper Mario but doesn't it have a bad rep?

@Moon It is €20/£16 so after the discount it will be €16/£12.80.

These discounts are way too thin.
I know it's platinum coins, which mean these are free discounts, but I would like them to be a bit more tempting, 20% is the "I was going to buy full price anyway, so this is great" discount

@SilentHunter382 Thanks man. Do you think it's worth it?

20% is quite ridiculous because they are already expensive. Most Nintendo games are.

I would have no complaints with MyNintendo if they would just add a few more Wii U VC games to save up gold for.I have already got Metroid Fusion and Mario 64 out of it which is great but since I already own Super Punch Out there is literally nothing left for me to save for.I buy all my games digitally but I get the codes from other sites that offer them cheaper than if I used the MyNintendo discounts,which also cost me gold.At the rate titles are being added,it feels like I'm going to see my points expire.I don't understand the logic behind it,why is there not a large selection of VC rewards to save for,it's not going to lose Nintendo money as you have to give them money to earn the gold anyway.If anything,it would encourage more spending on the Eshop.Also there's not even a single platinum reward for Wii U owners but 2 for 3DS which doesn't seem fair.Nintendo should be doing their best to keep Wii U owners happy you would think.We're the ones that are going to be buying the NX after all.Sorry for the rant!

@Moon I haven't played it so I can't give you my opinion on the game.

Is Sticker Star worth the €16?

@Oubie
No, no it is not. Unless you like sadness and disappointment.

@palatinus Oh lord no, life itself is already serious. I need my games to make me happy and forget negativity.

Glad to see Nintendo is going up from the measley 15% discounts that were around at launch. I have a Gamers Club card at Bestbuy so I need any discounts here to beat the 20% they give me. Oh wait...this is Europe only. Dammit NoA, I want this program to be awesome, make it happen.

Ashame Sticker Stars was a let down I may have jumped in.

@VanillaLake These are Nintendo Selects games, so they really aren't that expensive. 16 euros for these games is really cheap for a nintendo game imo.

@Moon I think it does worth it. It's definitely the weakest game in the Paper Mario series, but the other three are so amazing that it's not easy to get on their level.

It was disappointing in many ways, mostly because there were close to no real characters aside from Toads. But it did do many, many things very well, and I'm pretty sure most people hate it because "it's not the the previous ones". Anyway, I got it on launch day, and really had a good time with it.

@Moon Also, of you look at its Metascore, it's 75, which is pretty good. Its user score is just 5.9, but that's actually still above average. Its IGN community score is actually 80, and 831 people voted there. So I think it's pretty safe to say that there were just some people who really hated the game because it was different and had a few mistakes, and they are the ones who really like to talk about it all the time.

@DrkBndr Right, I forgot that Paper Mario Sticker Star was recently added to the "Selects".

@Krisi I think you are wrong about the reason why it is hated. Super Paper Mario was much more different to any other Paper Mario game and still it had a good reception (it is fun). The problem with Sticker Star is that the gameplay is so bland and it is largely based on stickers.

perhaps not the view of everyone here but I loved sticker star! and is worthy of £13 spent that I think is a bargain. I actually sold my physical copy a long time ago but I maybe tempted to get it again with that discount.

@VanillaLake Yes, Super Paper Mario is much more loved, but it does have its haters as well. I think Sticker Star got more hate because it looked so similar to the older games, yet it was still different in a way that many people didn't like. Super Paper Mario looked different from the get go (and it really was a better game), so that might be a reason why it got less hate.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I, and many other people think it's a fun game, even though the other Paper Mario games are better.

Normally I'm jealous of Europe's discounts, but today I'm just amused.

@Krisi Well, at this price (€16) is an easier recommendation.

I wouldn't play Sticker Star again even if they payed me $40. That game is a fun vampire.

@MrKenta
That's exactly right. I tried so hard to force myself to play it. After I'd been playing for awhile I realized that the longer I played the worse I felt. Playing paper mario is like being in an abusive relationship. Things start off nice, then things change a bit, but you accept it because you're invested. Then the real abuse starts with sticker star and you realize you're just covering up bruises and telling your friends you fell down the stairs.

"Are any of you in Europe tempted by these discounts?"

You know what, screw it. I'm gonna get Sticker Star. I enjoyed SPM a lot more than most did and I only played the first level of SS on a friends copy and didn't hate it.

On the plus side, the Warioware deal will expire next week, so maybe then we'll finally get something decent even if it is another DS download for 3DS....

With Sticker Star lowering to $20 because of Nintendo Selects, and with 30% off coupon, I think I would get that lol

@DefHalan
It's a trap!

Sticker Star.... so a garbage game.

I paid $12 to give sticker star as a gift.

i should buy one for myself.
