As the action-oriented gameplay strips Bowser's Inside Story of some of its role-playing cred - as least in the traditional sense - you may prefer slogging through a more tradition RPG.

There's no grinding, no ridiculous, epic, winding narrative - just a tightly-packaged bundle of fun. What else would you expect from Nintendo?
