I got it on PC. I wanted to like it but it just didn't hook me after a few hours.

I do get why they refuse to just do the turn based thing. Nintendo doesn't really believe in recreating experiences within new games, and that's fair. Lots of turn based stuff is churned out anyways.

I'm not afraid of change, just like, make sure whatever you slap in there is actually fun?

Unironically excited to fight giant office supplies and I can only hope there are hidden megabosses like Photocopier, Graphics Tablet, and Server Rack.

This is basically playing Sticker Star from the perspective of the enemies that the stickers are being used on.

Nintendo did not refuse to do the turn based thing. They had a long running Mario RPG series. It even had original characters. It just wasn't paper.

if the tape dispenser had giant eyes and a silly pun name everyone would be tripping over themselves about how inventive and fun it is and porn artists would already be giving it big boobs

Nothing is stopping porn artists making tape titties regardless.

I just hope they leaned on the evil stationary more—gimme some paper clip assassins with eastern-European accents, three different size post-it’s who are like Magus Sisters from FF, or a Dunder-Mifflin Sabre printer that transforms into a Mechonis-like mech.

Instead of collecting stars you collect pieces to an ancient hobonichi.

Because the only Paper Mario game that sold more than the Mario & Luigi series (aside from the remakes which bombed since the 3DS was dead) was Super Paper Mario. So since they had a Mario RPG franchise already they went all in on the paper gimmick instead.

Now that M&L is dead that might change for the next game or who knows. Nintendo is weird.

If you want a new Paper Mario game like the first two then play Bug Fables, which is charming as hell and actually pretty challenging on Hard Mode so far!

I'll wait for a review for Origami King. I like how stupid the boss designs are, though.

Turn based yes. Traditional, no. I don't see exp points, I see a lot of coins, and I see item durability (along with the ring stuff and all that).

But yeah it not being traditional or not aping earlier entries is fine, at least for me. The question is: will this new system be fun to play? It's been very hit or miss for this franchise as of late.

My entirely logical and well-founded fear that I will be attacked and maimed while my sight is obscured by a VR headset ensures that I will never wear one, even while alone in a locked room.

I like Labo VR but once I saw a roach on the wall die and fall onto the fireplace and I got the idea in my head that it got back up and crawled into my Labo VR headset which is over on that side of the den. Even though I picked it up and threw it out I somehow got the idea stuck in my head that it actually survived and is in the Labo, and haven't touched any Labo since.

Is this basically the only time in the year that nintendo games go on sale? Here's what I have on switch, please tell me if there's any obvious holes in my switch game collection (and the game that is the hole is switch-only, and is on sale right now)
Dark souls, BOTW, Mario odyssey, mario party, atelier l+s, astral chain. I have other games on switch but they're available on other platforms too.

It's all fine with me since I think they nailed the formula in Color Splash, so if this is what Paper Mario is now then at least it'll be fun enough. But this is not going to change your feelings if you hated Color Splash, folks!
