      Any idea why Nintendo refuses to make a Paper Mario game similar to the first two? Even though that seems to be what the majority of fans are asking for?

        No reason I can think of.

        But I’d rather have a proper sequel to Mario RPG than a traditional Paper Mario game.

        Truth be told though the original game(s) are overrated.

          Does Nintendo have the rights to all the Donkey Kong 64 characters? I’m just wondering why we’ve never seen Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong,or Chunky Kong again?

            I think Rare owns those guys, and now they’re with Microsoft.

                @Shiebs Tiny was re-designed and appeared in the remake of Diddy Kong Racing, and she and Lanky are both playable in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.

                And iirc all 3 are spirits/trophies/stickers in Smash. Nintendo definitely owns the DK-side of the Rare divorce.

                      I forgot how amazing Metroid Prime was. I cleared the remaster in 3 days at 100%.

                      The only thing that could make this game perfect is if it had a functionality to mark areas on the maps so that you could remember to come back later. I had to use a guide for the last 10 or so missile upgrades (I should have gone old school and written down the rooms in a piece of paper).

                      I can't wait for MP2.

                          Dumb question probably but who’s your favorite Paper Mario Partner?

                            Hard pick between Goombella, Koops, Lady Bow & Huey.

                                Definitely a tough call. Vivian's the obvious answer, but I also really like Bobbery, Bombette, and Lady Bow.

                                I know, right? I'm still jonesing for a classic Paper Mario style game, but Origami King? Yeah, that'll do.

                                    It's my first Paper Mario, and I hear that people were all up in arms over the lack of partner characters but I'm like, Olivia and Bobby (no spoilers! I've only just started the Deep Rising sequence!!!) are crazy endearing. I also understand that the stationary bosses were a point of contention, but they're super fun as well, with a ton of character. I very much find fighting them to be imaginative and novel; in how many other Mario games do you get to grab hold of the bosses minigun with your bare hands and then beat him to death with it???
                                    And while it eschews much of the traditional RPG structure, theres still a ton of Traditional Turn Based Flavor to the battles. Like, I try to neutralize as many enemies as possible during my turn, maybe using consumable skill resources, I can't get them all so I suffer damage, I now have to spend some of my next turn recovering health rather than attacking the enemy, but now I know how much health this enemy roughly has so I know to spend more powerful attacks on them to KO them quicker next time I meet them...that's like, super RPG vibes to me.

                                      @Daz if you like that you should play Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, it’s considered the gold standard of the paper Mario games by most

                                          Well the 3DS/2DS eShop is dead got what few games I could get ahold of in the last few weeks.

                                          Been using the Poke Transporter & Bank to move stuff around to Sun.

                                          Been so long I forgot what isn’t compatible, and how to use the Bank😗
