Talk:Super Paper Mario/Archive 1

message: Why is this in the RPG subseries category? It's clearly a platformer, done in the Paper Mario style.--Claude 23:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  RPG Subseries? 

message: N-Sider posted an exclusive preview of the game (found here: ), but I wasn't sure how to source it in the article considering the spectrum of information it revealed. Any ideas? --172.214.83.153 09:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  N-Sider reveals exclusive information. 

message: What needs cleanup is the prose of the article. Like, "Giant Mario, similar to New Super Mario Bros., except that it's the 8-bit Mario". It doesn't flow well to use except that it's the 8-bit Mario. A better line would be "Giant Mario, similar to Mega Mario in New Super Mario Bros.". - A Link to the Past (talk)
:Yeah, agreed.  I gave this article a wide berth on revisioning, however it So... Yeah. is much shorter now, leaving me to worry: did I abridge/take out too much content?  --Stratadrake 01:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a horrible writer, but it looks great to me, for what it's worth.  I'd like to see the "in the trailer" bits go away as soon as possible (I currently count 4).  We have two solid sources at this point (E3 trailer and Nintendo press-release screenshots, and the N-sider article) that corroborate each other, so maybe somebody can figure out how to remove one or two sooner, and later we'll get more solid references.  --Interiot 02:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

:What makes that website reliable? A list produced by Nintendo YESTERDAY had the game on it. TJ Spyke 22:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  It is cancelled 

message: Okay, so what's the deal here?  The Nintendo weblink for Super Paper Mario says the game is being released in October for GameCube.  Why does this page then say it is for Wii?  --myselfalso 23:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nintendo's Japanese site recently updated to show 101 games in development for the Wii, and Super Paper Mario was one of them. TJ Spyke 23:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

text: That's justification to not totally rule out a GC release. But if Nintendo has it /on their own site/ (NoJ>NoA here), a Wii version is guaranteed at the least. Eusis 04:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then why would Nintendo.com still list the game as being released on October 9, 2006 for GameCube?  Wouldn't one think that they would have changed this by now?  --myselfalso 06:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They don't always update the release schedule on time. TJ Spyke 06:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but it isn't even their release schedule.  It's the official American page for Super Paper Mario.  --myselfalso 06:35, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 1. Japanese release schedule overrides the American one in my book unless it's an American specific game, like Metroid Prime. And 2. That list doesn't have Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In fact, there's only 9 first party games. Does that mean that it doesn't exist, simply because it's not on the American list? The most that can be argued in the GC's defense at this point is that, maybe, it should be marked as /both/ a GC and Wii title until the GC version is confirmed canned. But I think it's pretty likely that it has been at this point. Eusis 04:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about a simple "The platform the game is being developed for is currently unknown. It was originally announced as a Gamecube title, which is shown on Nintendo of America's official page for the game, but recent developments point to a Wii release of the game- most notably, the game appears on a Nintendo of Japan list of games in development." Of course, adding links, sources, and just generally tightening up my writing would be good, but as a general idea, that's my suggestion. Though I suggest most of this won't matter anyway on October 9th when the game either does or doesn't come out...llamapalooza87 18:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, it is official that Super Paper Mario is going to the Wii.  Nauto 04:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Except it's not unclear at all, SPM /will/ be on the Wii. The GC status is unclear, but the Wii is crystal clear, as /Nintendo's game list/ has pointed out clear as day, and even highlighted in the response above mine. Eusis 04:15, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just innacurate to say the game has been officially cancelled on Gamecube as this CLEARLY is not the case. I'm not saying that it actually will come out on GC, but there has been no OFFICIAL announcement to the contrary, so the GC game is "in limbo."--llamapalooza87 19:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The thing is STILL a GameCube title. --Guess Who, not logged in
:Also Nintendo changed the release date to "Announced" and further confirms that it is still a 'Cube title.  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 00:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't consider those sources to necessarily be up to date (including the ones in the post above), though en masse it makes it seem more plausible. Nevertheless, there's already been confirmation, apparantly, on it still having a GC release, so it's really just beating a dead horse at this point. Eusis 10:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Except the entry was changed to list it as both a GC and Wii title after that bit came out, so there's no need to change it. Just because it will come out for the GC still doesn't mean it absolutely can't on the Wii. Eusis 21:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My word this is an interesting situation. I wonder how long until this all clears up. This hotly anticipated game seems to be causing contention! --Ira-welkin 18:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

text: This is a bit late, but it is worth noting that GameSpot and IGN both list it as a Wii title rather than GC, and while 1up didn't change it, they have acknowledged the japanese list. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3153628 I still think both should remain listed though until Nintendo finally make a clear announcement beyond putting it on a release list. Eusis 03:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it did appear on the list of Wii games at the conferance, Nintendo has not actually called it a Wii game and still list it as a GameCube game. TJ Spyke 03:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's Official 

message: I tried changing the release date of the US Version for the GC and then a mod changed it and warned me, the date is Jan 1st 2007, according to EBGAMES.COM..I pwned you..now let me change it—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick2cool (talk • contribs) 
:That is a PLACEHOLDER date, stores use them all the time when they don't know the real date. Leave it alone unless you have a more reliable source. TJ Spyke 01:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  release date 

message: Now that Fils-Aime has claimed Super Mario Galaxy could be released any time between 04-07 and 12-07, I can see why SPM may have been pulled off the GCN and moved to the Wii (which for the record I have always believed that it has been, I just am waiting for an official word before 'knowing' it lol), to fill in the potential gap with a Mario-based game, particularly in light of the huge success of 'The New Super Mario Bros' (4 million sold, isn't it?) a Wii-enabled highly-stylized 2d Mario adventure with a twist might be just as interesting to the masses as it has been to us ever since we heard about it. I hope that this game is done right and catches on with people in a big way, and that its everything we look forward to. --Ira-welkin 19:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A GameCube release seems doubtful now that the Wii is out...  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 07:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? There are still GameCubes scheduled to come out until at least next summer (the game based on Pixar's next movie "Ratatoullie" releases next summer and has been announced for the GameCube). I agree it's unlikely, but it is possible. TJ Spyke 22:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Pure Speculation But Interesting

message: Dunno if everyone saw this yet but IGN released a section looking at games for the Wii coming out for the 07 year. (This topic doesn't discuss the GC/Wii discussion, BTW) It can be found here . But anyway, find Super Paper Mario and, notice, the page says it's 1-2 Players, claiming it (may be) multiplayer for up to two people. Has this been revealed before; is it just me?

thread_title: New Potential

message: One thing I think is that the caption to that wedding pic should be changed from 'the enigmatic marriage ceremony' because that sort of assumes knowledge of a plot. Either some details about the plot have surfaced that allow the captioner to say that or they are just guessing. --Ira-welkin 02:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
