Mario RPGs might be dead.....

Yeah same. I'd like another "new IP" of Mario RPG similar to how Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi were at one point.
This is wrong on so many levels. Color Splash likes to pretend that it's an RPG with the horrible battle system but it's just a bad adventure game.
Heck even Super Paper Mario was more of an RPG and stuck closer to the previous two games with its structure. Sticker Star and Color Splash aside from reusing the Paper Mario brand have nothing to do with the first two games.
I thought we were over the hill with this discussion already. It's alright to respect the game and to like it as a Sequel to Sticker Star, but this game is an insult to every fan of the proper Paper Mario series. The RPG and story elements are shallow and the whole game reminds me of the dark days of the boring, childish Nintendo we used to know basically since the beginning of the Wii U era.
I don't know how many RPG elements the next Paper Mario will include, what I believe though is that will get another PM on Switch because the graphics style shown with Color Splash is a good fit for modern consoles (something I couldn't say about Mario & Luigi series).
I do really like them both, but Sticker Star more consistently surprised me through its gameplay, whereas the clever components of Super Paper Mario are largely extraneous to the actual mechanics.
Super Paper Mario really started the series's willingness to take risks, though, like with little puzzles that in other games would be 231 (23 is number 1!) that in SPM are 23 digits long. Little things like that, that add an absurd element, are wonderful. But the reliance of context clues and learning from failure in Sticker Star really made me feel like I figured something out in the boss battles, and that's what I loved. Most puzzle games are just going through the motions, toiling through sokoban like a roundabout Sisyphus; it's nice to reload from save and say, "What could I do different here? What does this setting evoke?"
I see, while I personally feel sticker star is the worst of the series, I can respect your opinion.
I would be super excited if former AlphaDream developers made a new Mario RPG that isn't "Mario & Luigi".
I dont think no nintendo series is ever really dead. Im sure we will even get an fzero revival... some day.
I wonder if that was a Miyamoto idea also.
F-Zero will comeback one day. Nintendo definitely won't let it stay dead forever.
I hope not because honestly speaking Paper Mario is just boring compare to the Mario and Luigi series.
