You know, I’m kinda on my ass that Nintendo basically did two Baten Kaitos games with Paper Mario Sticker Star & Color Splash, at least in the items & battle system department, but completely misunderstood what worked in Baten Kaitos battle system (and how the second game actually improved on the first one).
TWICE.
Origami King, while still not being what I wished it would be (and its battle system becoming quite boring), is a massive step forward. The only thing is that the writting is excellent in the Paper Mario games. It’s just the gameplay.
I wonder tho… if the Paper Mario kept going the « 64 & Thousand Years Door » way, would we had so many Paper Mario games ? Didn’t the formula would’ve aged poorly ? I really liked Super Paper Mario and wouldn’t mind a new game in this vein but with a little more RPG elements. Maybe, just maybe, someone at Nintendo will read the room and try a better mix so the franchise can make a nice comeback.
