Please, just buy Paper Jam instead of buying Color Splash.

I already bought Paper Jam and I'm still getting CS even though both games are/will be mediocre at best. Paper Jam being better than Sticker Star and Color Splash isn't a huge accomplishment. That's not to say PJ's concept isn't awesome. If they used characters other than the mainline ones I'd like it a lot more.

Yes, i know PJ has four Paper Toads on the boxart, but, in the US boxart, they have three Paper Toads and a Paper Goomba in the US boxart of PJ.

Maybe the next Mario & Luigi game will be in 2018/2019 or 2020 will have better sales then Paper Jam did and hopefully this game will have new OCs and the returning OCs (M&L: SS, M&L: PIT, M&L: BIS and M&L: DT) and as well as a few other Mario characters (M&L: SS, M&L: PIT, M&L: BIS, M&L: DT and even M&L: PJ)

Thing is, who says Color Splash will be bad? Yeah its not really what everyone wanted, but I still think it has a lot of potential, even if its an upgraded Sticker star, So I will buy Color Splash, but I dont think I will buy Paper jam, because the development of that was rushed from the beginning to the end :/

Yes, you can see it multiple times, best example are the Toad missions which are basically just there to play out time, cut out the Toad Missions and there is not much of a game left :/

I have seen enough of this game, to say that it is the worst M&L in my opinion

Does anyone have AlphaDream's Email or not?

Fans need to tell Nintendo and AlphaDream that the sales of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam was sluggish as it's elements from Paper Mario: Sticker Star made it seem unoriginality, Nintendo and AlphaDream need to realized this new upcoming Paper Mario game for the Wii U made by Intelligent Systems might have the same problem, and the fans wanted Nintendo and AlphaDream to create more original Mario & Luigi game/original crossover Mario & Luigi game to avoid lackluster sales.

Hotel Mario isn't a Mario & Luigi game.
Edit: Ninja'd

Color Splash might not exactly be the Paper Mario game the fans wanted, but putting this much negativity and melancholy on the very little information we have on this game (coupled with freaking petitions to cancel this game) is grossly overreacting. I don't have high expectations for Color Splash either, but right now, it seems to be at least a half-way decent game (which Sticker Star was), and it might even be vastly improved. I also don't think Paper Mario will really be going back, even with the intense fan pressure; developers want it like this way, they clearly said so. They wanted Sticker Star to be the new standard and they went further by rationalizing Paper Mario's differences because it was too similar to Mario's other RPG, Mario & Luigi.

In the end, I'm slightly optimistic because Paper Mario still has a great chance to improve, given how young the new Paper Mario is. Color Splash and other games following it may improve the point where it's simply fresh, amazing, and creative. Again, I don't know for sure about its future, but it sure has potential to improve.

Thing is people are just too salty sometimes, yes I agree I would like to have a PM2-esque game instead of what Color Splash is, but can we change that throught going on every site or Youtube video and just writing down "Paper Mario Color Splash is trash, I hate it"? No we cant! As of now they would have seen the outcry, they are not blind. Same for Federation Force which looks interesting in my eyes, but just because Metroid Prime is in the Title, people would like to kill the producers, okay thats maybe a bit too extreme but you should get what I mean. You know what, how about we enjoy what we have? Even if you are salty and angry, you cant change it, accept it and you will probably have a lot of fun with it. To me Paper Mario:Color Splash looks like a solid and good Paper Mario game, even if its different.

I love how we have to start rationalizing this game. "Oh, it will be a good game, but not a good Paper Mario game." This reminds me of Resident Evil 4 and now that series is trying to redefine itself after numerous missteps and direction changes. Yay, another series with a crisis of identity. At least these developers are more adamant in their ideal vision of the series, even if many fans want no part of it.

Some of you may not have even liked the initial direction of the series because of its focus on story and characters and that is why this appeals to you. It looks bare to me.

I already made a topic about Sticker Star and where it shined. Sadly, the game is disposable. It is like an Adam Sandler movie now.

You are oblivious if you're buying Color Splash and thinking it may be good. It's so obvious that it's Sticker Star 2. Unless you've liked Sticker Star, it's pointless to buy it.

Other than that, Paper Jam feels soulless. It really does. There is no charm to the game besides how fluent the animation is tbh. However, battle system is really fun. Cutscene speed up is good too.

No it's a pretty soulless cash grab

I had fun playing some of it though, haven't beaten it. The papercraft battles and Toad catching bore me though.

We're both entitled to our own opinion, I'm not speaking for every Mario RPG fan.

I thought the other stuff except for the battles were boring.

Another good thing, the X button to run, very fun to use.
