The Paper Mario franchise is often the most forgotten about Mario franchise there is, next to the Mario RPG games. But honestly, that's a shame, because the Paper Mario games are often the best written and most creative Mario games. If the Paper Mario game from the Wii had just been ported over to the 3DS, I would have been totally happy with that. But they made an entirely new game, and that's even more awesome. Sticker Star has everything you know and love about the Paper Mario franchise, and then some. The unique concept of everything being paper along with stickers is a unique twist to the time-tested and reliable formula of success. I didn't get too far into the game, but I played enough to know I will enjoy the experience overall. The 3D once again looks phenomenal, thanks to Nintendo knowing what to do with it. I can't wait to dive farther into this world filled with stickers and paper.

So, day two from Disneyland, the happiest place on earth. Still having a blast, in case you were wondering, which you probably weren't since you come here to read about games, not my vacation. So, with that said, I had a chance to get my game time in when the kids were at the pool this evening. I again whipped out my 3DS XL (which has been bombarded by StreetPasses, mind you) and played Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!. And yes, that is the actual real name of the game. I'll be brief, because hey, I am on vacation and all. If you like the Adventure Time cartoon, you will love this game. The writing is spot-on with the show, and it features all the characters you know and love, and even the ones you might have forgotten about. The game plays as a 2D platformer, but with a very Zelda: Link to the Past-style main world overlay. It's very cool, and a nice nod to the games that came before it. The only thing I don't like is the lack of dialogue. For a show that has so many different and memorable voices, you would think they could have incorporated them more into the game, instead of just the text throughout. That's it though. It's a fun little game, especially for fans of the show. For everyone else, you probably just won't get it. And that's a shame. Sorry to be so brief, but it's getting close to firework time. Just be happy I didn't post "It's A Small World" lyrics for you, since that's what I have had stuck in my head all day. So, day one from the Magic Kingdom, and I figured I would write my blog post for the day while I had a chance - sitting down, eating dinner. It's been a crazy, long day already, but also amazingly fun as well. I got my gaming in on the plane this morning, in which I finally broke in my brand new 3DS XL that I upgraded to this last weekend. I had refused to play any more games on the regular 3DS until I upgraded, as I wrote about before, because I could no longer tolerate the small screen of the regular. Anyway, I played Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, which I picked up in conjecture with the XL system. I loved the original one, back on the GameCube, and have been clamoring to dive into this sequel. Thankfully, it has lived up to my expectations tenfold. The game play is awesome, although I wish I had a second analog stick to control the vacuum, but it works as it is. The humor and writing of the game are surprisingly thoughtful and brilliant at times. The most important aspect of the game, however, is the 3D effects, which this game absolutely shines in. It is one of the best uses of the 3D technology. Again, more proof that Nintendo knows how to develop for their hardware better than anyone else. I can't wait to play more of this game, and I'm happy I get to do it on the awesome 3DS. But for now, I have California Adventures to get to. |
