Paper Mario: Color Splash

Looking at concept arts, can't really help it but really liked these concept arts. I know everyone's tired of toads, but I would like to see some Toad have skin-tones as an caption one seem have a dark-tone... something make me want to see some more original npcs and toads with few tones. Bowser one look so lit. This game seem "better" SS, but the battle system is.... eh not exciting but the writing, gameplay out of the battles and plot look amazing to me.

I give it 6.5/10

lack of partners, battle system experience, and original npcs

EDIT:
am i only one who wish Toadette would be Rescue Squad Chief?
Im soo maaaaaad that fact is Bowser Jr isn't in this game at all... more likely "NSMB2" x Color Splash except coins of course
 
Color Splash has a form of experience just so ya know.
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd,

ladies and gentlemen,
Nintendo confirms once again that more often than not it barely has any clue about the Koopalings:
like the cool kids would say, lol at Lemmy making the enemy flee by running into them...

Well, at least the boss battles, the poses and the dialogues are decent and reveal new things about their personality. And the sprites are awesome.
 
My very important hot take as someone who hasn't played the game

I have to give props to Color Splash: the game looks gorgeous and the writing is very sharp. It may not be the sequel TTYD super-fanboys wanted, but at this point, I think accusing it of being "souless" or "NSMB-ified" (whatever that means) is just wrong.

Unfortunately though, I'll still likely pass on the game, because all that can't make up for the fact that Color Splash, according to both journos and people who played the pre-load, doesn't quite go far enough in fixing Sticker Star's gameplay problems and even double down on some of them. The glory of the old paper marios was as much in the battling as it was in the crazy.
 
Yeah, from what I've read it's a lot better by Sticker Star but still has a lot of the same flaws. The difference is that Sticker Star was defined by its flaw, whereas this game seems to be weighed down by them.

I'd buy it for a third of the price maybe, but Nintendo usually takes years to discount their games a significant amount.
 
I know there's an art gallery in this game, but does anyone know if there's a soundtrack player in this game? SPM had one in a sense, although it was a bit of a pain in the ass since the songs were randomly chosen and Sticker Star only had a few songs. I'd honestly be surprised if the game doesn't have one, especially since the music seems to be one of the aspects that almost everyone can unanimously agree is great.
 
yeah during a stream i saw that there was a soundtrack room, not sure if it has literally every song though
 
The game is finally out. I wonder if anyone here has bought it today.
