>"too big to fail, too big to try"
this is the perfect summary of post-gamecube nintendo.
Why are you guys so pessimistic about Paper Mario returning to form?
>milquetoast
How? It's not anymore milquetoast than most other Kirby games, aside from Planet Robobot.
It's not like New Super Mario Bros where literally every single area is generic Mushroom Kingdom and every boss is Bowser Jr or the Koopalings with absolutely nothing new.
It had an original story, new bosses, new characters in general, a lot of fan services, a good amount of content after the free DLC, and didn't shoehorn in gimmicky game play like Epic Yarn.
You're being overly harsh, user.
>Aces also isn't great when compared to the first one and Power Tennis.
The point is that it's an improvement over the previous game.
That was an April Fools prank, try again.
>didn't shoehorn in gimmicky game play like Epic Yarn.
epic yarn was a spinoff. the whole point was to try different gameplay.
Did epic yarn ever come out for the 3DS? Must have been a real quiet release
this. FPBP.
Paperfags are the new Metroidfags.
>Why are you guys so pessimistic about Paper Mario returning to form?
Because Miyamoto holds the franchise hostage, it's all going to be generic fucking mario enemies and toads. No originality or creativity
>no, i'm describing switch-era nintendo, which keeps propping itself up on ports and rehashes of those wii u games you're dismissing.
Nintendo porting older games to Switch doesn't have any baring on if their newest first party titles are improvements or not.
>barebones and rushed at launch, still following the same formula from rtdl. you also conveniently ignored the existence of triple deluxe and planet robobot to make your point.
Why do I need to acknowledge those games to make my point? What, Kirby as a franchise didn't get fucked over as hard? The point remains that after two gimmicky console games we got a return to form with Star Allies.
You already know the free DLC fixed the lack of content complaint so it's a moot point to bitch about.
>wowee, another bing bing wahoo sequel.
Wowee Luigi's Mansion 3 was a return to form and an improvement on Luigi's Mansion 2 and your idiocy isn't refuting that.
>a downgrade from 3d world.
Nah. 3D world is as generic and dull as it gets, unless you beat off to fursuits I guess? I'll take Odyssey with its unique mechanics and original worlds, thanks.
>more advertisement than game, with horrible netcode and little content beyond the bloated roster.
So what was Smash 4 you dumb faggot? It had less content, less characters, less single player content, and worse gameplay.
>a glorified port.
How? It has vastly more content and an actual single player mode. It's a different game and an improvement.
You're fucking delusional, user.
