Super Paper Mario Info
I'm not really sure I want to know what is going on in that picture. Call me crazy, but seeing Bowser on all fours, tail in the air, while thick gooey flames shoot from his toothy maw... something just seems inappropriate. But this game, this Super Paper Mario, it can do pretty much anything it wants. I've gotten much pleasure from every Paper Mario, so I'm very excited to add it to my Wii library in April. Even if it shows a side of Bowser I never wanted to see. Actually, probably because.
I recently took advantage of my three free issues of Nintendo Power after registering some of my fine Nintendo products, and received my first issue yesterday. Although the magazine has a blocky, rather simple graphic aesthetic that I found unsavory, I still found the April issue to be pretty informative, especially in regards to Super Paper Mario.
Created by Intelligent Systems (the people that brought you the Fire Emblem series, and strangely enough, Kid Icarus) it will be less RPG-based than previous Paper Marios. Fighting enemies is no longer turn-based, but there will still be RPG elements. Leveling up occurs through score points, and abilities come in the form of good ol' ? blocks and little creatures called Pixls that allow you to do anything from find invisible items to throwing enemies Super Mario Bros 2 style.
Oh, and along with having Bowser and Princess Peach as playable characters, there will also be another playable character that has yet to be announced. Anyone want to make bets that it'll be everyone's favorite saddled dino, Yoshi?
Pirate Prince

Other stuff like this: intelligent systems, nintendo, nintendo power, super paper mario, wii
hopefully it'll be Mallow or Geno from Super Mario RPG!!!
Thank GOD it's not turn-based again. Finally I can buy the game I thought I was buying when I preordered Thousand Year Door.
I am SO buying this game when it comes out...
And yeah...I've seen pictures of Bowser online that would probably send you screaming for the hills, so that shot of him isn't exactly disturbing me as much as it apparently is Pirate Prince.
