My favourite Mario games are the RPGs (SMRPG, Paper Mario, TTYD especially). Needless to say I am SO PSYCHED YOU CAN'T IMAGINE that they are making a new Paper Mario RPG. TTYD is one of my most beloved games ever, so I just hope Paper Mario 3DS will be half as good as it lol. The trailers look amazing and it's killing me to wait. Luigi's Mansion 3DS is exciting as well; some things in the trailers (like the ghosts) bother me but I really want it to be good and make up for the things Luigi's Mansion lacked (mainly, well, substance... the game was too short), so I'm going to give it a chance. I'm too hyped really :P
Super Mario 3D Land comes out in Australia on the 24th, and Mario Kart on the 7th of December, so we have those to look forward to here. How is Super Mario 3D Land with the 3D off? I don't imagine they will have made a game that is significantly less enjoyable / harder to play with the 3D off, but it's an important factor.
Considering replaying Super Mario Sunshine after talking about it on IRC the other day :) Whatever you have to say, it's rough around the edges, gimmicky, doesn't bring much to the series, etc., sure, ok, but the game has beautiful, rich areas and some of the levels are incredible (the hotel levels, the secret levels, etc.). I don't know if it was only my age but when I played it I felt such a sense of discovery and wonder with the secret levels and Pianta Village. In many levels the game just felt frenetic and it was captivating.
