Next Paper Mario game (Likely on Wii U)

I found a fan-made boxart for Paper Mario U. I don't know who made it, but it looks like Sticker Star, which js not a good sign.

Fan-made box art doesn't dictate what the developers are going to do. That's like saying Fawful's going to be in the game because of my fan-made box here.

Anyway I wouldn't mind stamps, but only if it was just the same way they are in MK8 and 3D World, not an actual gameplay feature in the game.
 
And then when the next one comes round its an arts n crafts game.

I at least liked the artwork for Sticker Star. With the Wii U, I bet they can make the entire game that kind of style which would be really beautiful. Just change it back to the Paper Mario (N64/TTYD) gameplay, do a dark and serious story but still keep the laughter in and we would probably have the best Paper Mario game.

Just look at that art style!

The last thing PM needs is a dark and serious story. The last time they tried that we had SPM and that game's story sucked something fierce.

Oh hey, it's you.

Sorry, but I have to disagree on that one. I loved SPM's story. I'd also love it if they expanded on the story concepts in that game combined with the gameplay style of the first two. TTYD had a rather dark and serious story too, and look how well it turned out.
 
I would hardly call TTYD dark. It took itself seriously (a little too much at times) but it really wasn't dark.
 
Well it definitely wasn't as dark as SPM, but if you think about it, the whole game was about
the villains who were being tricked by a servant of an ancient demon to resurrect said demon, who if Mario hadn't defeated her she would have made the entire universe into her slaves.
Not as dark as wiping it out completely, but still pretty damn dark.
 
Not really, thats pretty much the status quo for villains of the series.

If Mario loses, they take over.
