E3 10: Paper Mario coming to the 3DS photo

When I saw the 3DS announcement at this morning's Nintendo E3 conference, the first thing I immediately thought was, "Man, the Paper Mario series would sure work good on the 3DS!" Apparently, Nintendo was thinking the exact same thing, because they've quietly announced that a new Paper Mario game will be coming to the 3DS among a smorgasbord of other first-party titles. The first screenshots really just show how beautiful this is going to be, and they've captured the Paper Mario style perfectly.

So far, we don't have any other info besides that, but really, that's all I need to get excited about the 3DS. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go make sure Chad hasn't passed out due to the excitement ...

Amazing! I got into the Paper Mario series last year, and I'm happy to see a new game is coming out for a very exciting handheld.

Paper Mario? In 3D? This is one of the most meta things I've heard of.

Whoo! Looks like they're back to the original Paper Mario battle mechanic, instead of the crappy one for Super Paper Mario (Which I hated). Paper Mario remains my favorite game of all time to this day.

Can't wait!

And it looks like one of the new partners is a Chain Chomp. Awesome!

Do you know what this means? For EVERY major franchise, Nintendo has announced a game.

I am brewing with excitement for my favorite TBS game.

super paper mario was the only one in the series i liked (and i loved it). i hope they keep the more 'action' platformer/rpg style they introduced in that game for this!

There's an awefully large number of ports. Especially N64 ports.

While ports are cheap and I don't mind, the console is starting to feel like a PSP. Not a bad thing, but being a PSP didn't do much for the PSP.

Course, Out-psp-ing the PSP while still keeping everything that makes it a DS would make a one-handheld future, which has a bunch of advantages.

Also, I was kind of expecting gamecube ports. My old DS could have played N64 ports had they been made. Still, can't complain about Paper Mario.

@ Hcapt: This isn't a port.

Brillaint, I cannot wait for this. Chain Chomp partner is amazing. Turn-based fighting is amazing. I thought the style was brilliant when the 3D background was in 2D, so I can't even imagine how amazing it's going to look with a 3D background in 3D. I am sold on the 3DS

Even if this was a remake, this is still pretty neat.

Ever since the DS was announced, I've been hoping for a new Paper Mario game. This is incredible news.

Looks like they took art assets from the Gamecube version. Nice.

Nintendo kicked E3's ass, especially after their rather lackluster 2008 and 2009 showings. Love the 3DS so far.

Even if this WAS a port of Paper Mario from the N64, hello?

It's freaking Paper Mario.
