Mario & Luigi 3

[Kohan]

Its script isn't as good as Superstar Saga's, and the gameplay isn't either, but that's not to say it's not worth playing. It definitely is. Considering that Saga was such a great game, Partners in Time is only a good game in comparison -- not at all bad, just not as impressive.

I don't know why, but I found Superstar Sagas really boring. I had to drag myself through the game.

Loved SMRPG though.

That's a different, more complex type of RPG, and it's not what the Mario series represents presently. Part of the current type's appeal is its relative simplicity, and thus its more easy-going nature. It's doubtful that the Mario RPG series will ever be like "common RPGs" again, especially because they provide something somewhat unique among turn-based titles (with real-time elements mixed in). There is a specific reason to turn to these games instead of, say, ATLUS's latest release. They stand apart.

It isn't bad to like a more complicated RPG, but I doubt Nintendo is ever going to return to it. They have a good thing going, and there's no reason to fix what isn't broken.

I'm not disagreeing with this. I still wish it would be something else tho.

SMRPG was nice, went through saga and loved it, heard both good and bad about partners, so worth buying yay or nay?

[Charismatic]

My opinion?
Worth playing, not worth buying.

My opinion?
Worth playing, not worth buying.

Yea, this is exactly the sort of game I got a flash card for.

I'm late here, but I think the trailer showed next week being the release for it. Anyone know if there's a date for the US yet?
