I bought this in the sale last year but haven't started it up. I keep pinballing between new releases and am waiting for a significant amount of time to invest in this
The way I see it is anyone will be able to get it, just as a normal game, until March when Nintendo stop selling them. I remember thinking Pokemon steel books would add resell value...
At this point I believe the leaks are just Nintendo saving money on marketing. Put a big campaign together that cost millions or have sites like this do it for free ha
Regarding limited time... "*While Super Mario 3D All-Stars can only be purchased until 31/03/2021, owners can still play its entire contents after this date has passed, and can also redownload it from Nintendo eShop if the software has been archived."
I really liked this game - had it's flaws but I foud it very enjoyable. My Girlfriend got bored of the battling mechanic by the Earth Vellumental and gave up.
There must be a big holiday title out there. They need to have one, and if they didn't then they would have pushed Pikmin.
Maybe, they would have announced the Mario remakes, but as these rumours regularly flood the internet Nintendo don't feel the need to spend the marketing budget as it's already being done for free... ?
@LilMuku whereas I get your point about ports. The Wii U had an install base of about 12 million and the Switch has sold, according to google, 62 million.
Wii U ports may be old games for us Wii U owners, but as they’re great games they’re potentially brand new games for up to 50 million people to enjoy
@mikegamer nope. I’m a fan of the game. Just a comment of the Switches huge new install base making a lot of Nintendo IPs new to people and a bit of my sourness that up until they point we had basically nothing confirmed
@Nemesis666 mate. I have the game and I really like it. More of a comment of an install base with a lot of people who will be new to series and the fact I’m sour that we don’t know what’s coming. Chill dude.
@MrBlacky the Switch's install base is definitely why. The game is good, i'm really enjoying it at least. But there was a lot of apprehension based on previous releases but also as many Switch owners won't have played a Paper Mario on Wii U or 3DS this might be an entirely new IP. I threw in the nothing on the horizon because i'm sour but if the Switch was as popular as Wii U the release would have also been similar
Bought on sale but haven't played it yet. I'm waiting for a gap when I can dive in. But given my preference for large open world games I feel it'll be some time before I can commit
It's even worse than that: i've bought ACNH once - so i'm 1 person on this statistic i've bought every metroid game GBA/GC onwards (except federation force) so i'm like 10 people on that statistic
I'm actually really enjoying it. The only issue I would have had was the battling being pointless but the puzzles often add a difficulty that overrides that. I avoid battles where I can but i'm not annoyed when i'm in them. Some of the ring puzzles stump and annoy me because I can't do them!
The problem I have is, whilst enjoyable in itself, the pointlessness of battling is why I got bored and didn't finish Colour Splash. It's what the community has been calling out for for years and it seems Nintendo still haven't heard. This may be the last Paper Mario game I buy. If I get bored like last time I can just eBay it. Pokemon has fooled me once too many and it now seems like Paper Mario will too
@Friendly this is why I bought a PS4 last year. I was tired of being a Nintendo only gamer. All the switch let me do up until that point was finally play Skyrim

Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Has The Best US Launch For The Series To Date, NPD Charts Reveal
@mikegamer nope. I’m a fan of the game.
Just a comment of the Switches huge new install base making a lot of Nintendo IPs new to people and a bit of my sourness that up until they point we had basically nothing confirmed

Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Has The Best US Launch For The Series To Date, NPD Charts Reveal
I guess big install base + no other games on the horizon = good launch
