I've heard that they've been down hill since Dream Team.

Same, and it’s hard to find many legit reviews on Nintendo game

It's pretty bad. People figured out how broken it was in a month of release, they didn't really give two flying shits about the game.

>>16687438

Being broken doesn’t really matter to me to much (seems like all Nintendo games have that issue), I’m more interested on if it’s actually fun, and how the story/localization is.

its weird how Nintendo hit the formula perfectly on Superstar Saga then every game after has been a step down.

Speedruns aren't a metric for deciding a game's worth. You can "beat" something like ALttP or SM64 in a few minutes with the right tricks.

>>16687456

It isn't really fun, too much shit doesn't mesh correctly together, like you see 2 mechanics that work together and then a third one that doesn't mesh with either is just thrown in randomly. The writing is also pretty garbage.

After years of finding shit, not within a fucking month.

paper jam is shit

bowser's inside story is worth it if you wanna replay it.

>>16687465

Damn, maybe I’ll just go back and knock Legend of the Seven Stars off my backlog.

>>16687467

It’s definitely a good one, but the sprite work on Mario and Luigi is a bit worse. I also like how the first game handled timing your attacks more than in BIS.

>>16687481

what the fuck are you waiting for nigger

go play Super Mario RPG

>>16687483

Moving it over to my Vita now. I would have played it a couple years back but the emulator I was using had just enough input delay to make timing the button presses to the attacks miserable.

>>16687478

It's more important whether you're likely to run into those glitches through a typical playthough. Most Nintendo games? Not so much, really. Meanwhile, something like Sonic Adventure? It's absolutely impossible to play the game without clipping or glitching through something multiple times.

Paper Jam's shit, but I wouldn't put the fact that you can glitch through it if you really try as the biggest reason for that.

I played through it on a flashcart 3 years ago, and it was a real slog to get through. Just so many WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS, generic art, and mindnumbing lengthy tutorials for babbys. You can tell Miyamoto were forcing them to drink from dog dishes, because there were hardly any enemies but goombas and koopas. After wincing through most of the Mario and Luigi, and the 3DS Paper Mario, I've pretty much had it for Mario RPGs. And I was a die-hard fan of the N64 and GameCube Paper Mario's when I was growing up. Even the older Mario RPGs leave a sour taste in my mouth now, after the butcherings of the newer games.

Honestly I've never finished a M&L game other than BIS, I've tried on occasion with SS but never bothered to get very far. Playing as the big guy Bowser himself was really fun but the 2D sections were a slog. They felt tacked on because Mario and Luigi had their names on the box. Even when they manage to make it out of his body and have free access to the 3D areas there's so little left to do that it feels like a waste. The team should have bit the bullet and wrote the entire game around only using Bowser.

>Meanwhile, something like Sonic Adventure

DX and all of its ports are broken pieces of shit, no shit. Play the original international Dreamcast release or use fan-patches, don't put up with corporate garbage.

I played it for a little bit when it first came out. There was nothing to write home about aside from “Oh a crossover, neat.” But whereas an actual crossover vidya would make the concept interesting, Paper Jam takes no creative strides outside of Paper Mario’s gimmicks. I wasn’t very interested so I quit playing after the first hour, might consider picking it up again just so I can form a more in-depth critique of it.

>Also, was Bowsers Inside Story 3DS a decent remake or did they dumb it down or remove shit?

I’m not very familiar with the remake, but I heard they added some Bowser Jr bonus mode like for the SS remake and that the music quality was downgraded, though I might be confusing that for SS. If its anything like the SS remake where they removed Geno and some of the original designs, I’d say stick with the original.

>>16687489

>he played the DX version

There’s your problem. Either play the Dreamcast version or download the multitude of fan patches for the PC version, start with BetterSADX. Plus, I never ran into as many bugs or errors with DX as other people had. I always assumed it was exaggerated thanks to JewTubers making a mountain out of a molehill for views Thanks KikeGrumps.

>>16687497

Yes, it's an abortion. People just don't give it flack as much as Paper Mario, because M&L still has a cracking veneer of quality.

Way too much autism in this thread. It's Okay™, it's nowhere near as bad as Sticker Star and a step down from better M&L games. I played through it, didn't hate it. Muh speedruns, though.

>Was Paper Jam any good?

No it's garbage, it's only good for glitched speedruns

>>16687411

Dream Team would have been decent if it wasn't for the ludicrous amounts of tutorials and tutorials for things you already know

>>16688974

>last pic

Your cover is blown

>>16689022

They know I’m from /monster/ now!!

>>16688974

1 is good to OK but pretty short. 2 has the issue that you have to manually examine everything if you want a decent score, but unlike the first game can't just vaccum it from the other side of the room and opening stuff is slow.

>>16689041

So flawed but worth playing from the sounds of it. Got em both for 15 bucks and figured I’d check. Thanks.

>>16689232

I forgot about the cards, that was absolutely retarded and boring. Made fights more complicated than they should be. Badges from BIS were fine, it didn't need anything else added after that.

>some has been e-celeb

Runka chunk is now considered a professional voice actress, they even had her doing a voice in the English dub of Jojo's part four. further cementing that subs>dubs

>>16691736

Awesome, I really appreciate the in depth rundown. I’ll try and track down a copy of DIY.

>>16691854

No problem, man

>>16691826

No media should be enjoyed translated, unless the translated version builds from the original adding good stuff

Even subs should be unacceptable

>>16694465

Not everyone speaks Japanese, Takeshi.

>Inb4 just learn Japanese

>Just learn three different alphabets, it’s easy :D

>>16694561

actually the first two are easy, it's kanji that's a real fucking pain.

>>16694561

>three different alphabets

Hiragana and katakana are the same thing (IIRC, hiragana was developed by women as kind of a cursive form of katakana) and the kanji are just pictograms or emoticons that are only used for the written language for the sake of simplifying things. While there might be double the characters in hiragana and katakana, they represent sounds in the language, so pronunciation is almost always how it's written and there are a lot less sounds than in English. As for the kanji, they're assimilated through the years and are probably the biggest hurdle, but there are mnemonic tricks that can be employed to help you, or you can just be me and brute force it.
