Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Has The Best US Launch For The Series To Date, NPD Charts Reveal

I believe that Paper Mario series would benefit from leaving the old RPG battle system behind. It would make it more approachable to the wider audience.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Super Paper Mario for Wii is the best selling Paper title. Of course, there are a ton of other factors to consider when making this statement, but the fact still stands it outsold other Paper titles.

Re: Cuphead Lookalike Enchanted Portals Is Heading Back To Kickstarter

MatoFilipovic

It is a tricky situation.
On one hand I love to see more games like Cuphead and I am definitely getting Enchanted Portals once it gets released.
On the other hand I totally get the people that are saying this is a rip-off of Cuphead.

True, Cuphead doesn't own the style of 30's cartoons, but, if I'm not mistaken, it is the first one to utilize such style in a video game, at least to that degree. So when something similar comes out, absolutely it will be compared to the original.

But the problem here is not really the art style but the gameplay. It has more than a passing resemblance to the Cuphead.
While it is true there are plenty Metroidvanias out there and nobody seems to complain it copies original Metroid, a good portion of them give a unique spin to the formula.

Unfortunately, Enchanted Portals, as good as it looks (and hopefully plays) is copying a lot from Cuphead in both visuals and gameplay. It lost it's identity because of it and will always be compared to Cuphead.

But, as I said at the beginning, I will play it and hopefully enjoy it.

Re: Mario Tennis Aces Brings A GBA-Style Story Mode To Switch

MatoFilipovic

I don't remember anyone mentioning GBA-style story mode. All they said is Mario Tennis didn't have story mode since GBA era.
And as LUIGITORNADO mentioned, based on short story mode gameplay footage, it looks nothing like GBA story mode, which was part RPG.
I can already see many disappointed people once they realize it is more Mario Super Sluggers story mode which was very simplistic, but fun nevertheless.
With all that said, I hope I am wrong.

Re: Get Ready To Party With This New Trailer For Mario Party: The Top 100

Can we all agree it is time for Nintendo to stop making handheld Mario Party games?
Mario Party Advance was great because of the focus on singleplayer, but next handheld installments were designed to be enjoyed in multiplayer, and I don't know about you, but I am the only person I know that owns 3DS, none of my friends have it, so I have nobody else to play it with. This is an easy skip, but count me in if it comes for Switch.
