We now have comfirmation of how the combat system works in the new Paper Mario. There is an attack menu with two tabs (you might get more later). The first tab is permanent use weapons like your boots or your hammer. There are more spaces so you will likely get other weapons like the shell or punch gloves from Mario RPG. Since Mario has "shiny boots" specifically in the trailer there will likely be upgrades to each of your weapons like in the Paper Mario games. The second tab is for items and will obviously be single use items like any other RPG. So we are back to standard JRPG combat. We still do not know if partners can join you in combat,

items tab is gonna have Things isn't it

Seeing as they do not have HP. I would assume no.

Doesn't look like there's any experience points or leveling up so it's still completely pointless

>we now have confirmation that the combat is shit and the game is worthless

If it ends up being good then I'll finally be happy owning a switch.
Otherwise fuck this simp system.

>The big empty barren battle

Did they learn this shit from overworld games because this shit looks ass.

I can't imagine they have RPG combat and no leveling up, that would just be bizarre.

No you don't.

>no mp/flower bar
Its gonna be the equivalent of sticker shit. And is there even any confirmation that you get experience from battles or will they be yet again completely pointless and serve as nothing but a drain on resources?

They didn’t have HP in the OG paper mario if I don’t remember it wrong, they just got dizzy if they got hit, because the enemies only attack Mario for the most part

Looks like shit

If there are different weapon attacks there's not necessarily a need for FP. The special attacks can just be special weapons you get later, and that would just mean you can't run out of FP which was pretty much impossible to do if you weren't a retard anyway.

Honestly looks like shit

theres a screenshot of a disco ball dance party (with a bunch of rather horrifying faceless toads), so i'd say probably

I hope it's gonna be like sticker star

Fucking kek.

Reminds me of the schizos on Zig Forums who tried to say Link's Awakening on Switch looked bad too.

This game looks gorgeous. And people will talk a length about how gorgeous its looks. And your autistic screetching will fall on deaf ears.

So any time you encounter a random battle, which I assume will happen frequently since this is some sort of RPG, a giant circular battle arena with grand stands forms?

Seems like we have a few options:

>Battles are few and far between and only take place where there are circular arenas

Or

>Battles take place all the time, however a few set pieces take place at these circular spots, while "regular" battles take place all over and are more linear

or

>Rotation Battles take place all over and are frequent, and we somehow have to believe that grandstands and a moving circular battlefield either forms out of nothing, or that these locations are literally everywhere

I genuinely can't comprehend how anybody could possibly be optimistic about this game given what they've shown.

Have you never played a Paper Mario game? In TTYD a play's stage would appear with characters in the stands. This is adapting that into 3D.

IM talking specifically about the combat, the mechanics around a wheel. Looks retarded. The games gonna suck bro. Cope.

To me it just looks the same as Color Splash.

Which is ironic, given it's desaturated as fuck.

Fucking awful
Why can't we just have a genuine rpg like ttyd again. Shit give me another platformer like SPM anything but this shit since sticker star. Fucking garbage.

>Zig Forums hates it
5+ million copies sold

Because despite its flaws Color Splash was pretty good

this. don't think. consume product and get excited for next product.

no offence but this game looks like it was rushed. those environments consist of like three assets

Since he's fighting plain goombas with beginner weapons, it might also be an early fight before you get a partner

FUCKING COPE

What do you mean rushed?
It's not like nobody knew it existed until today and they announced it outside of a direct and will be available to buy within 2 months.

That's nonsense. Rushed he says.

>proving his point

>Color Splash assets, from design to sound effects

Gee, how could you tell? I like how they're even going Game Freak, what with making most of the new designs fucking triangular/square/round shapes.

Why do they keep trying turn based combat in a misguided attempt to please fans of the first two games who complained about Super? Why not get rid of the pointless battle systems entirely and make it a regular action adventure game where the stickers/cards/whatever are used in real time on what is currently the overworld? You'd get way more milage out of using the cards in context sensitive ways, like the things had been.

The picture we saw was a Toad in safari Explorer gear standing behind Mario as he jumps on Origami Boos. Netting him a new Shoe for killing the second boo in a line of like 4-5.

This means 2 things with the new information from this thread.
Tab one is Base hammer, Base Shoe. plus stickers/items of shoes, hammers, shells maybe, and so on.
Tab two is Things. Again. 3d objects because whoever the fuck is in charge of Paper Mario doesn't like making the game.

C O P E

Color Splash sold like dogshit though, unfortunately the main reason why was probably just because it was on the dying Wii U

That and people realized it was Sticker Star 2.
Sticker Star sold well because nobody knew it didn't have EXP. Didn't have a reason to fight anything. Just walk around. Grab strongest sticker, Grab stages thing. Fight boss to move on to next place. Which you don't tackle until you walk backwards and grab strongest sticker and Thing again.

Notice the seats around. Imagine the boss battles with crowded seats like super bowl and shiet

Zig Forums babbies spent nearly a year shitposting about Pokemon lmao

This and that's also why this will just conveniently just sell any way, because it's on the Switch, who nobody hates and holds nothing against.

Back when the Wii U had games, it actually had to prove itself worthy. Now most of that is just getting carried for a convenient tablet everyone can just take out nowadays.

In a sense, I hate the Switch, just because it's as cheaply made and yet, had it so much easier than the Wii U, even despite the early fiasco of broken Switches. Not only that, it stole most of what made the Wii U Wii U. It stole the Wii U's thunder with better portability and hardware and succeeded.

HAHAHA OH NONONO
