Will be on my radar for sure, will probably wait for impressions before decided whether I'll get it or not. I just hope they don't overdo it with the paper puns. Also, that stinger man... I really hope it means something for the Metroid IP.
Probably because most people didn't play Color Splash and at a quick glance the battles in Colors Splash do look similar to the first two.
I think that remains to be seen. There's a Shy Guy and a Bob Omb that both seem to be tagging along Mario at different times, but they have generic designs. Not much combat was shown, and no partner was shown in them, but that doesn't meant that they aren't there.
Finally a Switch game that is my taste. Been a long time since LM3. Really looking forward to Paper Mario.
Yeah, this looks like something completely different from past entries. I never thought either of the previous two looked good, but this look like its own thing and it looks awesome. I really hope it delivers.
this is the second worst possible outcome
above.
There's a sticker somewhere in a battle scene so... nope.
I already hate that they're sticking to this incredibly unpopular battle system and that the game seems to be FULL of toads like Sticker Star and Color Splash. Not a single interesting character design. I'm all out of hype.
As someone whose never played a Paper Mario game, what's the difference?
Yup, same impression.
I hope the battle system manages to be as complex as the early entries, but the tone seems right.
Wow completely out of nowhere! As someone who liked the original PM game and enjoyed Colour Splash I'll be happy with whatever this turns out to be.
Same day as Ghost of Tsushima though so it'll have to wait.

First two games were pretty standard turn based rpgs with some light platforming and puzzle stuff in the overworld, with a very unique flavor to the writing and world design. The third game got rid of pretty much all of the rpg qualities in favor of action but kept the good writing and unique settings. The most recent two games featured gimmicky battle systems and shifted the focus towards the overworld, and shifted the visual design away from the unique characters that appeared in the first 3 games. This mostly draws from Color Splash, the most recent entry on Wii U, but seems to be shifting the focus further from the original turn based battles and more towards the action side of things, but the visual design seems to imply that the writing and scenario design will be more out there than Color Splash, whose excellent writing was let down by its comparatively weak character and scenario design.
I am getting Color Splash vibes from the trailer. CS was a great game, but it wasn't a proper Paper Mario RPG for me.
To be fair it's just one single trailer so there might be a lot more to it, but so far i am not super impressed.
One thing that i genuinely dislike on Nintendos approach nowadays is that they took the character out of everyone in the Mario world. In Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door everyone had so much character, everyone was different and fun.

Judging from the way they framed the trailer by focusing on a lot of dialog it seems like they're trying to say to people that it's the "good kind" of paper mario that's more focused on rpg and story elements. Hopefully that's the case. Gamecube one was the best.
I think so. Expectations have been lowered. Probably not buying. The art and writing looks good tho
Did not expect it to be out so soon. Really hope this is closer to TTYD than Sticker Star and Color Splash
