Nigga what? Bowsers sprite looked besurfiul

How do you guys build your Bros? I always go tank Luigi and maximum attack + speed Mario

>>384622048
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that, the major sprites look great. And bowser doesn't look terrible now. I'm pretty excited now actually, I was worried.

OK?

>>384622110
I feel like that's the way to go. I give Luigi extra stache though.

>>384622110
Full attack on both, never overlevel. That's the only way the games are challenging, even SSS.

Well, Dream Team on Hard mode is the one exception to that rule, I properly distributed stats in that one.

Everyone will find something to shit on with this game. Happens with every single remake of every single game. I think it looks great, and I don't give a fuck about what some jaded guy thinks.

So I just finished dream team 100% on normal mode and it was pretty damn fun, but now I'm having a hard time jumping into paper jam. DT had just tye right ammount of cheese to its story and overall dialogue, but paper jam seems to be in a massive rush to get everything outta the way FAST and get going to god knows where, to the point where the story feels really shoehorned. That wouldn't be a problem if the story was my only complaint, but I can already see from miles away that toad hunting will become a chore really fast. Does the game ever reach a beter pacing? Are toad quests too frequent? Despite the enemies being entirely bowser's minions does the combat get as varied as DT with the absurd but fun enemy attack cues?

>>384623518
The story doesn't even try because the main focus is the interactions of the characters and their paper counterparts. Toad hunting remains a chore. Combat has the most/best variety of enemy attacks in the series.

Yeah Paper Jam is a step down from basically every other game in the series, sorry to say. Looks like Alphadream got their shit together for this game though.

Combat is the best part of Paper Jam.
Everything else is meh. Craft battles sucked.

Fuck, im really trying to like it, i really am

GODDAMMIT WHY NOT JUST DO A ORCHESTRAL REMIX, USE SOME REAL FUCKING INSTRUMENTS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

So post Sticker Star paper mario story and quests with Mario & Luigi overworld and combat? I'd honestly much rather play through another M&L saturday morning cartoon of a story than a sticker star 2.0 + non-paper characters. Also here's some music from DT

because shimomura uses synthesized everything for everything

I'm glad they're keeping the cheesy fake Italian in there.

>>384624590
Dream Team had some beautiful music, i remember the town song being so good. Im guessing Dream Team had a different guy?

I'm into it, actually. Makes me wanna dance just like the old one.

it's the same woman
none of the m&l games have had an orchestral arrangement for the main battle theme

Every Mario RPG has been composed by Yoko Shimomura, starting with Seven Stars.
She's quite a talent:

Because "orchestral" music is for the final bosses.

Dude that's just the 3DS speakers being absolute shit

>>384625127
well yeah. If you try playing anything over a set quality / volume standard for some notes the 3DS shits the bed. Glad to see that didn't stop the composer

>>384624583
kek I forgot about the 3ds speakers freaking out. Good thing you can just pop a pair of earphones in. It's awesome music.

>>384624583
>not doing your 3DS a favor and plugging in some headphones
The poor fucker can't even handle demo audio.

>>384621609
I hope this video format dies with the 3DS. This is literally the worst way to showcase a game. Even if you go to the eshop to watch a trailer it shows THE WHOLE SYSTEM on the top screen for no reason.

>>384626161
Because the 3DS's resolution is 240p. They know they can't stretch it out or else it'll look ugly as sin.

Yoko Shimomura, and she's amazing. She does the music for Kingdom Hearts as well, and some of it sounds straight out of Mario and Luigi

>Sprites are too bland

Are we really doing this shitty argument
The new style has it's own charm, you need to stop acting like it needs to be 1:1 with SSS, just go play SSS

Don't forget she also composed the music for Legend of Mana which holds such classics as these:

Paper Jam is so weird. It has the blandest enemies and bosses and yet the most creative and biggest variety of enemy attacks

Combat is the best in the series.
All the rest is subpar, especially Toad hunts and Paperctaft battles.

>bros moves used to be good
>now they are the most gimmicky shit being DT the best example

>>384622110
I never really prioritized any skill point, and just went in order down the line aside from a few exceptions; more Bro points and Luck are always good, and obviously prioritizing Luigi's HP and Defense, and Mario's Pow and Speed.

The roulette gives you a higher chance of giving you lower numbers if you keep giving a bro the same skill point, but if you spread it out, you'll get higher numbers across the board. Even just giving them the same skill point twice will show a decrease in the possible points you get.

>>384622110
I always go maximum stache on Luigi, and usually speed and attack for Mario.
