Paper Mario Is As 2D As The 3DS Could Possibly Be

Paper Mario, you have been a delight on every Nintendo system you have ever appeared on. Don't go changing that with the 3DS version! More »

Star Fox, Paper Mario & Mario Kart Are All Lookin' Good On The 3DS

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 08:00:00 EST

It's funny, we got so used to seeing DS games for so long that it started to feel like all Nintendo handheld games for all time would look like N64 games. That's certainly not the case. More »

Nintendo Sued, Then Not Sued, Over GameCube Commercial

Luke Plunkett — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:20:00 EDT

Nintendo fans (and television viewers!) may remember a commercial Nintendo ran a few years back. For Paper Mario, on the GameCube. Was a great ad, with a cute message, and a charming little tune accompanying it. Problem is, that charming little tune is called "You're So Cool", and was composed by Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer for the Tarantino flick True Romance. And Nintendo allegedly used it without permission. On June 12, Hollywood production company Morgan Creek filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. But then, on June 18, they withdrew the case. No reason given. Which sparks the ol' curiosity circuits! Maybe they got their facts wrong? Maybe Nintendo paid them off? Maybe they saw how damn cute the commercial was, how nobody (sadly) remembers True Romance, and just couldn't be bothered? More »

Monday VC Update, Tuesday Edition

Mike Fahey — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:20:30 EDT

Even post-E3 exhaustion isn't enough to keep the Nintendo VC team from making their appointed rounds, even if it was enough to keep us from telling you about it. While we were busy catching up with our E3 news yesterday, Nintendo introduced three new games to the Wii Virtual Console. This week we get the rare 1,000 point Nintendo 64 game in Paper Mario, the first game in the Paper Mario series (duh) and spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG, which really needs a sequel. Then comes Balloon Fight, the classic balloon battling game that touts the most realistic balloon physics ever to grace the NES, all for the low price of 500 points. Finally comes Silent Debuggers, an early FPS for the TurboGrafx16 that'll set you back 600 points and follows the monsters on a space station format so popular with FPS games of the time. That's it for this week! Be sure to check back next time, when the Monday VC update might actually happen on a Monday! More »

Paper Plumbers, Balloon Fighters & Silent Debuggers

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:40:02 EDT

This Monday's Virtual Console update for the Wii ranges in quality from stellar to average to "WTF is Silent Debuggers"? A trio of games from multiple generations and wildly different genres makes for an interesting follow up to last week's 8-bit heavy line up. Finally, North American gamers get what Japan and PAL regions have been enjoying for days. More »

Paper Mario On Deck For Wii VC?

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 21 May 2007 17:40:43 EDT

Hot on the heels of the Wii release of Super Paper Mario comes word that the Nintendo 64 original, Paper Mario, may be headed to the Virtual Console soon. While a release date is obviously vague, CVG reports that the new issue of Nintendo Power pegs Paper Mario as a "top pick" for the VC. More »

Circuit City's Paper Mario Scam

Kim Phu — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 15:40:00 EDT

I feel bad. Yesterday I posted an article about how the nice people at Circuit City would give the unhappy customers who did not receive Paper Mario on opening day a giftcard of $20 if they did not have it. Because of my tiny, little, Asian beady eyes, I did not see how fine the print really was. Aaron emailed us to tell his story: More »
