Super Paper Mario coming to Wii

Super Paper Mario coming to Wii · 01-22-2007, 09:54 PM

There has been much confusion over the Super Paper Mario game for some time now. With no clear announcement as to which console it will end up on - Gamecube or Wii?

Well according to the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine, the title is confirmed for the Wii console with a date of April 07.

Here are some other details and info retrieved from the magazine:

Quote:

Takes place in the town of Flipside, where a giant black hole looms overhead, complete with floating math equations (that old story again huh?!)

Mario gains the ability to change perspective at will, switching from the normal side scrolling 2d view to a 3d view of the 2d “paper mario like” world

Switching camera from 2d to 3d is necessary. Some puzzles can only be solved by switching the camera to reveal new paths on a level

Wiimote is held sideways, 2 button is used to jump, A button to switch view.

Mario collects friends called Pixis that give him special abilities. These abilities make use of the Wiimote capabilities. One Pixi named Tippy allows you to point the Wiimote at the screen to learn more about enemies, or discover hidden passages.

Shaking the Wiimote at the right time when you jump on an enemy allows you to get more points

Graphics have received a noticeable upgrade since E3 videos

i thought it was confirmed to be on wii a while ago.

Paper Mario is the pwnage. The first one would have sold so much better if it was delayed a little to come out on the GCN. Regardless this is going to be one sick game.

different genre's, Paper mario is RPG, Super mario is/are platformers. I myself miss a good 2d old school platformer. I will love this.
