No Paper Mario date for Europe News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Despite firm US date.

Nintendo has yet to confirm a European release date for Super Paper Mario on the Wii, a spokesperson admitted today, despite the game receiving a firm April date in the USA.

Earlier this week leaks from official US magazine Nintendo Power - since confirmed - suggested that the game would be out over there in just a few months.

The game was originally bound for the GameCube, but its extended development and the contrasting fortunes of the ageing Cube and rejuvenating Wii have since changed its focus.

A follow-up to N64 and Cube titles in the same series, and in some respects a sister series to the phenomenal Mario & Luigi handheld titles made by Alphadream, Super Paper Mario is keenly awaited by Nintendo and RPG fans alike.

So, er, we'd be a lot happier if there was positive news to relate. As soon as there is, we'll let you know.

Classic Nintendo! Will probably be out here 3-4 months later using Excitetruck and Elebits as the precedent. We need a freeloader for the Wii pronto - I keep drooling over the fact that movietyme do Wii games for �26 delivered.

Isn't Super Paper Mario supposed to be a platformer with PaperMario-style graphics rather than an RPG? It'd be nice if it was an RPG though, as that would make it more complimentary to the "normal" Wii Mario game due in the same timeframe.

This, along with Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, is right at the top of my most wanted list for Wii. Please, Mr Nintendo man, don't make us wait...

Nintendo of Europe - absolutely appalling, as per usual. At least with the DS the option to import is available. Short of buying an NTSC Wii, we are at their mercy once more.

Its no wonder that UK/Ireland have consistently favoured Nintendo's rivals over the years.

SIGH. Let's all jump to conclusions, shall we?

The reason the US has a firm date is that they've just announced the rest of their Q1 schedule en mass. Super Paper Mario was on that list.

Nintendo Europe hasn't released a release schedule. So no, of course they haven't announced a date for it.

But yeah, let's all assume it'll never come out then.

Mario games, as well as other major Nintendo releases, seem to get here rather quickly these days. Paper Mario 2, for example, came out exactly one month later than in the US. I suspect this'll be roughly the same.

Things have definitely improved since the SNES and N64 days.

Things have improved, have they? Well, I've just started to learn japanese. In about five years time I'll hopefully be good enough to comprehend japanese video games. My bet is that in five years I'll be happily importing titles from Japan that aren't available here. Wanna bet against me?

Can I just take this opportunity to point out that it works both ways. Wii play hasnt been released in us yet.. and wario was released later than uk.

So stop yer bitching..

Hardly would say "in the next 3 months" is a "firm" date though.

I don't really know what you're on about now as I was specifically referring to major Nintendo releases which always get here sooner or later. Not some obscurities that most people have never heard of.
