They're currently making their way through Super Paper Mario. And when not playing that, they have a go at Mario Kart DS. So does that mean Carmack is keen on, say, Wii development? According to Carmack: More »

I mean, no one's asking him to make it, but he wants to make it. The guy is totally ready. Anytime.
I'd love, really love, to adapt Super Paper Mario into a movie, a movie that would constantly switch from 2D to 3D. In five years, 3D cinema is going to be really big...(KoK) was screened for Nintendo, but I haven't had the chance to speak to anyone over there about it. But I definitely want to have that conversation.
Please, please please...make something inspired by the game into a movie. But don't put Mario on the big screen again. Especially in the case of SPM, it's just not meant to be and my heart can't take it. Thoughts? More »

It's a bug that occurs when playing the game in UK English, German, or Spanish. After meeting Mimi in Chapter 2-2, if you talk to her before picking up the key that opens the nearby trap, the game will freeze. It's a tiny bug, and one that is easily circumvented by following the instructions NoE has included on their website. Despite that fact, the company still plans on offering a free replacement disc in the near future for anyone that would rather have a bug-free version of the game. Awfully nice of them if you ask me. I would have just sent a notice out via the website and possibly the Wii-mail system and been done with it. Keep an eye on Nintendo Europe's site for replacement details. More »

I get no end of amusement watching her foul mouthed antics that could give the Angry Nintendo Nerd a run for his money. This time around, OGHc gives us her opinion on Nintendo's Super Paper Mario and the inadequacies of the Wii remotes ability to hold a charge. As you can probably imagine, the language is NSFW so if you are unfortunate enough to have to be sitting behind an office desk on a Sunday, you might want to pull out your headphones. Wait, I'm sitting behind a desk on a Sunday... now that's just sad. Flynn De Marco More »

Normally, listening to the person next to me breathe, counting every inhalation, is enough to keep me occupied, but I decided to get some gaming in. Therefore, I packed a ton of games, including Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime, Elite Beat Agents, Mario Kart DS and Rhythm Tengoku. More »

I'll most likely spend a good portion of my free time re-playing the demo—in hard mode, natch—until I've run through it with every available weapon, bested my previous karma records, and carefully studied Rachel's various animations.

I'm not at all surprised that I'm thoroughly enjoying the game, I expected that. What does surprise me though is how effortlessly (at least it feels that way) Nintendo manages to continue to make such a dated franchise feel fresh. More »

The game was originally set for the Gamecube, but wouldn't that be silly. Yes, we need some straight up classic Mario action on the Wii.

Ditching that GameCube release, Nintendo will be bringing its upcoming Super Paper Mario to the Wii and the Wii only. More evidence that the company is getting ready to cut the GameCube's life support. Make sense, sure, but most late adapters are hoping Nintendo keeps the GC around a little longer.

Hmm. According to Games Are Fun, who didn't bother linking their IGN source, Super Paper Mario is now longer a GameCube game. It's a Wii game. Why? Who knows? There's no other information. Of course, as one of Games Are Fun's commenters notes, this move doesn't make much of a lick of sense... after all, Nintendo could have merely marketed the GC disc as both GameCube and Wii compatible. So, if true, this indicates some prospective Super Paper Mario Bros style Wiikatana slashing. Florian Eckhardt More »

Here's the trailer for Super Paper Mario for the Gamecube. You know, that music they've got playing through the trailer is a really freshing alternative to the main SMB theme we've been hearing in various synthesizer variations for the last twenty years. Also, that power-up that turns your character into a 500 foot high pixellated version of a SMB sprite has to be the best power-up in a Mario game since SMB3's wind-up boot or Super Princess Peach's tear-inducing chainsaw dildo.
