Skip this, pick up Sticker Star for your Mario title this year instead. It's waaaay more deserving of your time and money.
Umm, they're completely different games for different systems. Just because they're both Mario doesn't mean much. I'm probably going to buy both, but not everyone wholikes rpgs like Paper Mario would want a 2d platformer and vice-versa
Skip this?
NO
What a ridiculous statement. They aren't even remotely similar games other than they're setting in the Mario universe.
Ill take both.
Nah.
I'll always enjoy the Paper Mario series more than the NSMB series, but I can't see anyone buying a Wii U without least picking up NSMBU.
@TheBitBlock
I have a better idea, I'll buy both! I can't see why any nsmb fan wouldn't want to buy this game, it sounds like it's going to be the best nsmb game to date.
Are you joking? When I first saw NSMBU I was like meh, it'll probabbly be the same. Seeing how there's so much more content in it though makes me WANT to buy it.
Just stop, you are not an authority, you are ignorant and biased to the point of hilarity with an overinflated sense of self worth. I really hope no one around here takes you seriously.
I like what they're doing with challenges. It's sad that Mario Kart abandoned the MK:DS challenge mode...
lol @TheBitBlock flaming!
Anyway NSMBU looks to be the best and most creative NSMB yet! The only thing that's bugging me about it is lack of new power-ups.
I'm taking both, thank you very much.
Pre-ordered.
Y'know to be fair, at least this game is honest about what it is. It's not like Paper Mario Sticker Star where once again it wants to be different from the the first two Paper Mario RPGs we loved.
@Sylverstone14 This.
Sorry Josh, but that was a stupid comment to make.
