Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Miiting Discussion Topic

Good video. (Come on, America and Europe?)

AlphaDream works for the Nintendo Illuminati confirmed! lol Let's hack their website and post cat videos and Rickrolls on their site. 

True. Plus the internet mixed with Club Nintendo's user base (Rip.) equals hate mail x1000! I even hate a few hate mail. (Nothing life thwarting?) Just some hate mail over a cartoon show from the 80s about cats in space. You know the one I'm talking about? We later on became friends. lol Weird but whatever? 

Thanks for the heads up?

So, basically yeah there was already lot of characters from PM side and they choose to focus on the interactions between them.

Which means that adding OCs would have interfered with the concept.

Well at least i'm happy it isn't executive meddling.

They could use the PM64 Merlon and use Dr. Toadley from BIS as his M&L "equivalent".

Well I pretty much figured out THIS was the reason..
But the whole premise of "Meeting myself as a Paper character" sounds kinda.. lame to me.
It's not like they have a lot of differences from each-others.
They are just.. The same person.. But on Paper..
Every character just hang out with a clone of himself (Except Luigi  ) just really minor differences bettween each relations but that's all..
They could have gone more far than that.. 

Yeah it was getting old quickly..

They played too safe for me, even the game like this could have been come more far than that. It's sad to see them playing so safe on a crossover, it's not like it's something than usually happens.. :/

I suspect they didn't start off on a restricted time or budget, but got kind of pressured into it when it became clear that Nintendo was in trouble. There's this feeling that up until Iwata's death, Nintendo was ticking along fine and had a decent 2015 planned out, then his untimely demise kind of threw a spanner into the works and suddenly the company kind of lost direction for about four months. Miyamoto was too busy being a temporary part CEO for the company (he was on that board that preempted Tatsumi Kimishima), games got delayed or development slowed down due to the company's CEO crisis and by the time the new president was announced, the company was looking at a barren holiday season and a complete lack of games ready to release.

So they decided that Star Fox Zero had to be kept til 2016, and to fill its spot in the calendar, a bunch of other half finished projects had to be wrapped up as quickly as possible. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash was sent out the door to fill a gap... and outside of Japan, pretty much felt flat on its face. Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival went out, before they even had any real idea what the 'game' aspect of it was supposed to be like. And then this game went out as well, despite the fact it was likely not all that complete before the release date. They were probably still deciding on a storyline or basic gameplay elements when the call came that the game had to be out in the next few months. So everything that could be recycled from Dream Team, was recycled from Dream Team.

That too, though with the rumours of one coming out this year (or at least being announced soon), I'm not sure whether it's the case. Why fill a Paper Mario gap when one's likely gonna be announced soon after this game?

You know, the story could have still been good without the OCs.
Exemple: Bowser M&L gets the Paper book and want to keep Paper Bowser minions for himself.
Paper Bowser team up with Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario at one point to save his own minions.
Also, Paper Luigi and Paper Peach helps a lot in your adventure.
That itself would be more interessing in my opinion.
