![]() The quality assurance team seems to be a newer group that is in some way dedicated to preserving the current cast of Mario characters. His sway in the industry may be influencing the state of the Paper Mario franchise. It is also said that Miyamoto prefers to focus more on game mechanics and is less interested in the story of the Mario games. Miyamoto was reported as saying they felt it unnecessary to have two Mario RPG series, so they took Paper Mario down Gimmick Valley and let the Mario & Luigi handheld games take over as the designated Mario RPG. The change in direction seems to stem from both Miyamoto and the new quality assurance team for Nintendo. The first two games are still beloved memories of my childhood and I would give anything to have them return the game to its roots. ![]() I found a few videos discussing the decline of the Paper Mario franchise. I'm still not entirely sure who / how many is / are at fault for dumbing down Paper Mario, but regardless, it is actively worsening this series and I think a creative change NEEDS to happen. Listening to fans is why Luigi's Mansion, Mario Party, and Zelda returned to their roots, and those have been some of the Switch's most well performing titles. It wasn't capitalizing off a popular IP, like what Cartoon Network does now, but really just a total lack of listening to fans. Heck, not only different, but essentially the polar opposite of what it used to be. Nintendo unnecessarily changed Paper Mario to the point that it might as well be a different series. I know there's a lot of discourse between pre and post Sticker Star fans, but I personally think both fans are correct to complain. The way I see it, Paper Mario began as, well, Paper Mario, and now it is no longer Paper Mario. ![]() Originally posted by ♥♥♥♥♥♥:Origami King is better than their other recent tries, but it is no Thousand Year Door.
