Paper Mario Discussion Thread

[Mendez]

13th July, and we now have Paper Mario on the European VC. Yay!

I've been waiting ages to play this game as I couldn't afford many games back in the day, and was worried I'd have to wait at least another month to do so but the chance has come early

Well, Nintendo Power does have it in their July issue so my guess it'll come out in July and if it doesn't probably August.

I think I've said this before, but I've never played PM either (or any of the later N64 games: moved on to the DC by then), so I'm looking forward to this. I'll wait for this to be released on the VC and then get The Thousand Year Door afterwards, as I've heard great things about that too.

I'm sure this'll be out before too long; Nintendo would almost be shooting themselves in the foot if they released another N64 game the amount of hype and expectation this has brought on. Another Zelda II fiasco and the Americans will be howling for blood

You'll be glad you bought it when you play PM for the first time.

And no, I won't howl for blood since Paper Mario MUST be coming to the VC around the same time for Japan, Europe, North America, AND Australia. Why? It is just too good for anyone to put off for a week.

Even better than ALTTP!

I was just going to make a Paper Mario discussion thread but hey, looks like I already did

I love this game

Christmas 2001 was very special thanks to it! And I've only gone and bought it again!

Loving it all again though, memories flooding back Has anyone noticed the spinning N64 logo when you start the game up, or when you go back to the game from the home menu? Strange, seems it has to keep loading the game up. Must be pretty tricky to emulate.

[Mendez]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I thought it had reset the game at first XD

Well I'm off to bed now, I'll play it properly tomorrow!

[Jazzem]

I've just beaten the game's first 'boss' (Unless you count one or two earlier boss-ish enemies), so I'll leave it for the night.

Love this game, love it ^_^

Dude, Paper Mario and Conker are my two favorite N64 games. They came out a month apart, I remember the day in February when I got Paper Mario, and then getting Conker's BFD in March. I loved those days.

You gotta play Bad Fur Day, dude.

Just got this and love it, its the first time ever playing it for me you see

I also got Air zonk and that is fantastic also.
I now have 4500 sitting there, waiting to be spent, hopefully on SF2 turbo when that is released.

Back to PM, i have one question, is it a long game?
