Can anyone imagine how awesome Paper Mario will look on HD?
Just think about it, really well made and colorful sprites on a 3D HD background and HD battle menu smooth menu interface and having your menu on the controller screen
maybe even some actions could be done in the controller screen for attacks something like this:

It would certainly look awesome on the Wii U, but I think Paper Mario is more suited to the 3DS. I don't think it would benefit from HD visuals like a 3D Mario game would. That said, the last three Nintendo consoles have had a Paper Mario game, so there's a good chance the Wii U will have one too.

I think Paper Mario is a good series, but I think it's better on handhelds than the big screen.
It just feels right to me.

That's a pretty bold statement, there hasn't even been a handheld Paper Mario game yet.

lol. I haven't played any Paper Mario game yet, so that is just what I think, but since I haven't played any Paper Mario game, my opinion might change. For me, I like RPGs in the style of Paper Mario on handhelds instead of big screen.

It's just my opinion, please don't hurt me.

If Paper Mario did come out for the Wii U, well, I'd have a reason to buy one.

Not if it was like Super Paper Mario!

Actually, I don't know why everyone dislikes that game. I enjoyed it.

Same here. I know SPM was more of a platformer than an RPG, but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I really don't get all the hate.

As for Paper Mario U - yes, please. The handhelds already have the Mario & Luigi series (which is fantastic, btw) - Paper Mario just feels like it's better suited towards being a big-screen console game, IMO. That said, Paper Mario 3DS looks pretty good, but I liked it when they had separate Mario RPG series going on the handhelds and the consoles.

[Tony Bradshaw]

Don't see why there's some hate of SPM in here, it was a great game - thoroughly enjoyed it also.

Paper Mario makes EVERYTHING better.

[Andy]

I agree with Feld0. Paper Mario should be on consoles and Mario and Luigi should be on handhelds.

[kris1206]

I also agree with feld0
I think the screen should be used for Powerups and stuff, like using scissors on enemies in Paper Mario 3D

[Guy Fieri]

I agree with AMAC if there were previous Paper Mario games on N64, Gamecube and Wii it is likley that one would show up on the Wii U.
Plus like some other people I dont understand the hate for Super Paper Mario. Sure it was not an RPG but it was still fun.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Just as long as it doesn't feel like Super Paper Mario.

No, I'm not a hater or anything, I just felt, with PM64, then TTYD, that Super Paper Mario would be at least just as strong. Some of the content and stiory was weak to its predecessors. I like some of the ideas that flowed behind it, but it seemed poorly executed. So, in comparison to the other PMs before it, it was mediocre, and I think that's where the SPM hate comes from.

Now back to topic...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Maybe the Mario RPG's will switch consoles and the Mario & Luigi games will be on the Wii U.

God I hope not.

Me too. Weird, huh?

[SomeRandomGuy]

I loved the first 2, but SPM was just... I dunno what to say.
Hopefully the 3DS version will make me like it again.
