Anyone worried about the series now?

Idk but yeah i've noticed Paper Jam got marketed alot.

Could be because of the crossover nature of the game or maybe because Nintendo really love their Sticker Star elements

But if anything the Paper Jam's Miiting seem to hint that AlphaDream wanted to do something more grand (with probably OCs and nice story) but couldn't because it ended up as a mess, so they went the safe way (OCs were removed not because of Nintendo pressuring them but rather because they felt it wouldn't work well with their "real world Mario characters meeting their Paper counterparts" idea)

Alphadream seem to have more control over M&L through (considering how they didn't allow Nintendo to meddle with Dream Team) and they listen to the criticism alot more...

So hopefully M&L will go back to normal next installement (specially that even Color Splash developpers mentionned that players should look up to M&L if they want an experience closer to the classic Mario RPGs which imply that Nintendo want M&L to become the only Mario RPG series while Paper Mario turn into more experimental styles)

The last time i checked, i think Paper Jam sell like 700,000 copies (300,000/0.30+ to 700,000/0.70+).

Mario RPGs are NOT a dead concept, i think the Paper Mario series is dying due to Sticker Star and Color Splash...

RIP Paper Mario 2000/2001-2012 or 2016...

At least AlphaDream still makes good Mario & Luigi RPG games like Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team and even Paper Jam.

I don't remember that being confirmed, they just said the reason that wasn't in Paper Jam, not that the next game would definitely be different.

True, bring back Kawade and remove Tanabe from the direction and Paper Mario's quality should increase (Tanabe is behind most of questionable changes of PM and Kawade was the one who directed the first 3 PMs)

As for AD, yeah they did imply the NSMBification was a one time thing because of the crossover nature of the game, next M&L should be more traditional (especially since PJ is one of their worst selling M&L so far)

I said worst selling M&L through, i know there some other games who sold worse but when it come to M&l, PJ didn't really sold well.

And SPM isn't a RPG

solidfalcon3, the last time i checked, it soid from 300,000 copies to 700,000 copies...

I just now noticed this troll attempt!

You dare to question SPM?! I will banish you to the BLACK HOLE, maggot. 

Bas, you're pretty late dude. Rainy day?

No worries at all, buddy. We encourage bumps around here, especially when the bumps contain quality input. Never apologize for that, Bas. 

In all honestly i dont know. We jusr have to wait and see
