Early reviews for Paper Mario Color Splash are favorable so far. Critics are praising the fun characters, crazy story events, and charming dialogue.
Following up a disappointing game in the final days of the Wii U was a tough job but somebody had to do it.
Super Paper Mario is by far my favorite. The sticker stuff they came out with after was a terrible way to go. Super has an amazing fun story with humor beyond any other mario game before it. I loved the platforming style WAY more than turn based mechanics that pause the games progress and make it much longer than needed. The sticker idea was the worst thing the series ever did. I bought a 3ds to play it and I wish I had never bought the console.

"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.
I honestly can't believe this is the last big Wii U exclusive this year
I actually like the wii u, too bad it never caught on and nintendo had to pull the plug. It kind of reminds me of the gamecube library wise, a handful of really awesome exclusive games and not much else.
I'm not a big fan of paper Mario series but the graphics on this game really look good
The reception is favourable but alongside Gears of War 4 and Dragon Quest builders it looks like consumers on other platforms would be having a better time (going by critical reception alone). It also doesn't live up to the Paper Mario series, as I think the original and thousand year door are exellent games.
This seems like fun, but for me the lack fo RPG systems, party building and character development really neglects what I loved about the original paper Mario titles.
This looks like a very fun game. I'm going to play it once I clear up my backlog a little bit!
It can be very easy to get caught up in press and the multitude of opinions that are shared on the internet. Sometimes it's nice to just ease your shoulders, take a few breaths and appreciate that video games come in all shapes and sizes. This games looks like it will be a fun way to spend some time. :)
