I know they haven't announced anything, but imagine this:

 

We pretend that Super Paper Mario didn't exist, and imagine a version more like thousand year door and the first one, maybe with Sticker Star's ability to instantly defeat very low level enemies. The Wii U's processing capabilities will be used at it's maximum potential to make the entire world look like a picture perfect papercraft diorama. There will be no cheating out with perfect 90 degree creases or perfectly flat overlapping, everything will be made to look like it was hand folded by hand pretty well, but none of the creases or folds will be absolutely perfect. And instead of switching between different shaped sprites for movement (except maybe for change of perspective), each sprite (Mario, enemys, NPCs, etc.) will be made from separate pieces of paper for the head body or arms and legs, which will move as if hinged.

 

In the battle scenes, I want to see attacks rippling through instead of being template. I want hammer blows to crumple and bend the foes in the shape of the hammer, and as the enemy becomes more damaged it will have creases and maybe rips, which would originate from the prior attacks and not be simple generic damage. Fire would permanently singe the paper (until healed), and water attacks will be absorbed by the paper and make it soggy.

 

I don't know if I can fully describe what I want to see, but what I want to see is something that looks almost like stop motion using real paper and literally PROVES the capabilities of the Wii U. I believe that, if done right, Paper Mario HD could possibly win awards for it's graphics.

Since the 2 other Paper Mario titles weren't as good as the N64 version or the GC version, no. I am not looking forward to another one.

Oh push off. It would be awesome and deep down you know it.

We pretend that Super Paper Mario didn't exist?? I actually like this one better than the RPG ones but that's just me.

I'm afraid I won't be able to be as hyped for another title in the series. Paper Mario Sticker Star was pretty much a shell of the original two games. It looked pretty, but I couldn't find any reason to keep on playing it. Without an Experience Point system all of the enemies that I had to fight seemed completely pointless, and honestly it all made me feel like I wasn't going anywhere in the game.

 

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure that this trend will be reversed. Miyamoto supposedly stripped down Sticker Star to be what he wanted. Much like with the 3D MIario platforming series, the future is not looking so bright for a return to the quality of the first two games.

YES!!! I loved it on the Wii and I like the Mario and Luigi series too!

[zzuxon]

Based on the last 2 games, my hopes are low.

Yes I want it! Don't be negative just b/c the last game was bad! I want another game like the first 2, or even like Super Paper Mario which wasn't that bad. 

 

Those graphics would be beautiful!

I loved the original, so yes! I haven't played Super Paper Mario, but I've watched a let's play, and it looked pretty fun. I hope to get it sometime soon. :3
