In the March issue of Nintendo Power, America’s official Nintendo magazine, they mention the seemingly forgotten about game unveiled at E3 last year, Super Paper Mario. They also go on to say that it will be released in April of this year!
Here’s the quote from Codename Revolution:
Super Paper Mario - To be released in APRIL! Mario finds himself in the interdimensional town of flipside as a black hole looms overhead along with floating math equations. You have to use the controller sideways moving the control pad and jumping with the 2 button (OLD SCHOOL!). A button allows you to switch from 2D to 3D and later in the game you’ll encounter creatures called Pixls that will give Mario new abilities that make an interesting use of the Wiimote. Tippy (a butterfly) allows you to search areas for secrets, you can point the Wiimote at the screen to spotlight hidden doors or learn info about the enemy. When you jump on an enemy, if you shake the Wiimote you can gain extra points. Game has graphical enhancements from the E3 build (the issue has new screenshots).
This is great news, as everyone loves a Mario game (and if you don’t, why are you reading this?!). Although this is probably the American release schedule, I’ve got every hope that Europe will see the game before the summer hits!
Here are some screenshots to refresh your memory, and maybe build the excitement!
