Paper Mario RPG, sequel to the N64 title Paper Mario, is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Gamecube this Thursday in Japan.
According to Nintendo, the sequel employs many of the same aspects of the original game--most notably the Action-RPG genre twist and cheery feel intended to help open up the game to younger audiences. Additionally, the unusual qualities of 2D characters placed into a 3D environment are again a key point of the game, with such updates as the ability to fold Mario into various origami shapes, including an airplane and a boat, to help him traverse obstacles he encounters. Nintendo Japan has posted an official site for the game (Japanese), but as of yet have made no comment regarding an American release. Paper Mario RPG will retail for 5800 yen ($53-55). |

Well, looks cool (other than that the site is crawling with Engrish).
I've missed out on a lot of new-school Nintendo. How good was the first Paper Mario? -------------------- Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!! |

It was good IMO. I liked the story and gameplay. An RPG version wouyld be neat, since the last RPG Mario was in was voted as a "perfect" RPG game.
I can't wait to see it -------------------- I fear my heart and fear my soul Life goes on, it surely will, Without me and I wonder: Will I ever see light again? Life goes on... |

Paper Mario has long been a favorite of mine. PM2 is just milking a good game for all it's worth. But hey, might be good.
-------------------- Wow. 1,000 posts. I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_; |

I'm already Buying a GC because of the new Zelda. I might as Well buy this too. I liked Paper mario one, or SMRPG2, whicherver you prefer. PM1 was great. It had a good story and all. I'll be sure to pick this one up.
