Based on the pictures, it looks like partners will be back.

Scroll through the pictures right below Mario and Olivia (the new character). I see Olivia, Bowser, a Bob-omb, Captain Toad, and a Magikoopa with him when he's in the environment. Now I never bothered with the Wii U one, but I assume it was just Mario on the journey both in and out of combat. If they go to all the trouble to have all these characters traveling with Mario in the environment, that would suggest to me they're usable in combat as well. It is a shame we're losing the unique party member designs of the first two PM games for just existing characters/enemies (aside from Olivia) but I'll take what I can get.
Edit: Sorry, Bowser's not in the pictures, but rather I saw him beside Mario in the environment in a quick moment in the trailer.

The trailer is pretty good, too. Sells the game as a grander adventure than what we've seen in recent PM games.

I don't think all the blame can be put on him, but some of it does seem to fall to Miyamoto. Christ, his mindset towards Star Fox is baffling. While making Star Fox Zero, he was worried about making a new Star Fox game "too soon" after the last one. Dude, SF Command came out TEN YEARS before SF Zero, how the hell could that ever be considered "too soon"? Miyamoto seems to vastly overestimate how much people want things to be different with new installments when it comes to certain series, and Star Fox is a prime example of it. Yes, don't release a new installment with zero differences, but no one is asking you to re-invent the wheel every time. Not every series has to solely defined by "innovation" (since I know Nintendo loves innovation, sometimes to their benefit, and sometimes to their detriment).

origami skeptical. this series has taken such a downturn for me.
why cant they just run out of crafty gimmicks

That's crazy his concern with zero. It's mindblowing that Starfox 64 was the last traditional star fox game.
Totally agree that you can make improvements and changes without making something completely different.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
A NEW GAME
FROM NINTENDO
Now I just hope that it's actually a good take on Paper Mario for a change.

This doesn't seem to be a huge deviation from TTYD? I don't see any radical departure from that formula here - what am I missing?

I can’t be exited for a new Paper Mario anymore. We’ll see but I’m not so optimistic.

Yeah okay. I guess I'm ready to be hurt and disappointed again. HYPE.Nintendo is going to release a Metroid trailer out of nowhere too aren't they...

This was a nice surprise to wake up to.
I mean from the gameplay it looks like more Megaman Battle Network to me than Mario RPG.

I like how of all the heroes, Toad is the most battle-ready of them all.
Toad: I'm going to fuck those sons of bitches up, and then sing the song of my ancestors as I dance in all my enemies' graves! When I'm showering in the blood of all who oppose me, they will know the name Toad!!!
Mario: .....well let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Battles look pretty similar to TTYD to me. Pretty much everything here looks like its more geared towards the first two than the Wii/DS games.

LOL Are you really unaware of this series? It's called Paper Mario. If you're looking for full 3D, look at Mario Odyssey.

He's takin the piss bruh.
But here's a controversial statement that sincere:
I'm more excited for origami king than cyberpunk

Oh sweet summer child. No Mario RPG even compares to that one.
Maybe Thousand Year Door, just maybe.

Not really digging it to be fair. In fact, I am kinda tired of "Woolies", "Yarns", "Crafted Worlds", and now "Origami"...
Guess Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will remain my favorite.

Can't the big N just create a proper sequel to Thousand Year Door? Are they so far away in that island that they can't hear the world concensus that the first two were the best and it went downhill from there?
Please, just merge Super Mario RPG with Paper Mario. Buy the rights to the characters, I want them back. Give Peach a pan and let's go.

thats awesome and all but...WTF NINTENDO!?
How do they manage to announce a major mario game and release it in two months?! Yet we have no news about bayo 3 or metroid prime3 4(besides the fact that it was utterly delayed due to a reboot)
like who decided to reveal both of those games and whats with this game announcement? its a 180ª turn. Please, a happy medium! Like...announce a game 6 months before release.

Color Splash is one of the best looking games on Wii U. This looks like they took the Color Splash engine and even assets and just made a whole new game with it. Probably had to redesign the battle system from scratch as well, since it was entirely based on the gamepad.
This could be really good. Looks super charming as always.
