Why does Nintendo almost never shows/talks about Paper Mario: Sticker star?
that’s what i was wondering…i’m really looking forward to it.
I fear it may be delayed. Or they’ll pull in retro like they did with Mario kart 7 ;) paper Mario is one of my most anticipated games this year but I’ve never played it. Which one should I play first? Paper Mario 64, thousand year door, or super? I’m also starting to play luigis mansion on gc
Thousand Year Door. Definitely. It’s the best one and it seems very much like Sticker Star.
Do you know if the chain chomp is stil a parnter?
I recommend you start from the beginning, but if there’s one you should definitely play it’s the thousand year door. the one on the wii blows but you can still play it if you want to complete the series.
It’s weird considering it’s Nintendo Power’s “fans most wanted” no. 1 3DS game.
Soooo….. Games that will already be available to the public? Yawn.
Oh and how about trying to big up the Wii U right now? Ninty said it themselves, it needs to be tried to be understood!
Anyway, rant over. It is still an impressive line-up for 3DS.
Note to self, read the dates before complaining. I do now realise a lot of those games will not be readily available.
Still stick by my Wii U comment though!
i hope you realise that wiiU will be at GAMESCOM NOT AT THIS EVENT
Club Nintendo members will be able to play the Wii U at comic con. If you already RSVP’d, you shouldn’t worry. Can’t wait to play it!
