I'll say it again...people are high on Pokemon. Let it get SFFed into
the ground by one of the least SFF-capable series, then we'll see this
again. --- Commit it to memory. |

If Super Mario RPG had a sequel, no doubt I take it. But Paper Mario is
a different beast and I dont think just having the Mario name gives it
strength. I mean Mario Party would be fodder here. I have to go with Pokemon > Paper Mario > Fire Emblem > Mother --- Where am I? |

HM, do you think the 1999 Julius-arc Castlevania game will be a 3D
console game or another 2D handheld? I heard they hinted it would be
one of the upcoming games in the series at the end of Curse of
Darkness... They're supposedly working on a next-gen Castlevania game, or at least in the initial stages of it, so we might see the new "Next-Gen Castlevania" delve into that whole 1999 incident where he suffered that amnesia problem ...

Which Nintendo RPG series is the strongest? Fire Emblem, Mother, Pokemon, or Paper Mario? Why is it just "Paper Mario"? I think they would all go under the "Mario RPG" for a series, which is by far the strongest of those games.

you strong!! --- Commit it to memory. |

... Why on earth would you split that up? Paper Mario is basically the
spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG. You shouldn't be splitting
those up into two different sets. It's all "Mario RPG" for a series. And Paper Mario would still kick Pokemon's ass. Pokemon is still weak, incredibly weak. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG share different titles, different style
of graphics, different play mechanisms. Hell the only thing they have
in common is they are both RPGs and both have Mario. --- Where am I? |

Seriously, other than maybe Fire Emblem, I'm struggling to think of

expect Kirby to thrash it, for chrissakes. --- Commit it to memory. |

You guys are nuts if you think that Pokemon would beat Paper Mario after seeing Xenogears beat Pokemon G/S/C. Pokemon as a series isn't that
much more popular than G/S/C where Paper Mario couldn't handle it.
Unless you think that Xenogears would beat any of the Paper Mario
games? It's not like Paper Mario games are unpopular... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

What, are you going to have a Paper Mario series, a Mario & Luigi series, and then we'll have to wait until Super Mario RPG gets a proper "sequel"? Hell no. They are all Mario RPGs and all should go under one name to describe them. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG share different titles, different
style of graphics, different play mechanisms. Hell the only thing they
have in common is they are both RPGs and both have Mario. Different gameplay mechanisms??? How so? They both are platform/action oriented RPGs which have turn-based battles based on timing. What else is different? The added in-field abilities? Since when can't a series get added features?

Paper Mario/ Mario RPG easily blasts those other options. and say what you want about Harvest Moon's GC sales, but there is no way Harvest Moon is breaking 15%. i might be able to see it breaking 20% and even approaching 25% against a non-rpg series like Super Mario Bros or Grand Theft Auto or Metal Gear. but it seems that whenever two RPGs have faced off, there's always been a bit of "something fishy" going on. so, i don't want to see anyone freaking out about how KH will crush Castlevania because it gets 87 or 88% against Harvest freaking Moon. of course, i still think KH could take down Castlevania anyways, but mercilessly beating the likes of HM shouldn't impress anyone. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Because Paper Msrio was clearly intended as a follow-up to SMRPG. Hell, its working title was "Super Mario RPG 2". MMX, on the other hand, was always intended as a spinoff, as more classic MM games were released after MMX was released. --- "Thank you, Mario.

MM and MMX are probably different by the storyline, but the Mario RPGs
seem to play out like a Mario game in an RPG format for me. though,
SMRPG was made by Square, Paper Mario is by Intelligent Systems, and
Mario & Luigi are made by Alpha Dream. so I'm not really sure if
they could all be grouped together, but they are similar in gameplay
mechanisms. --- * Is Dranze * |

Okay I fail to see how Mega Man and Mega Man X are seperate series, but Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario are not. Because Mega Man X was a spinoff of the original Mega Man, which was already established as a series and kept releasing games after Mega Man X. MMX branched off into its own series of games. Paper Mario is not a spin-off of Super Mario RPG. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I remember being quite mad that Dracula wasn't allowed into the Villains Contest. Considering he didn't originate in a video game, he wasn't eligible. Actually according to Lament of Innocence. Castlevania Dracula and Bram Stoker Dracula are two different people. |

They are seperate. You could make an argument for Mario RPG and the
Mario & Luigi games, but Paper Mario is COMPLETELY different. They have far more in common than Zelda does with Zelda II, but I don't see anyone trying to group Zelda II into a different series. And for the love of God, the working title of Paper Mario was SUPER MARIO RPG 2. It was clearly intended as a followup to SMRPG. --- "Thank you, Mario.

eh, the thing about Megaman and Megaman X is that "supposedly" they are

hand, it doesn't matter if you have Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, or
Paper Mario - it's all the same Mario. *shrugs* that's all i can come up with. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Halo 37.24% Castlevania SOTN 20.27% lol, X-Stats LOL at the fanbabies, bandwagoners, and such who think bogus numbers of the past from unrelated contests against unrelated opponents will save them... The bottom line is...a duet of games, popular with one hardcore genre of gamers, was soundly beaten by a 20+ years old game series respected more (and voted for more) based on the sum of its parts rather than for one character (Alucard) who supposedly represented the entire series but was only actually in a handful of the games in the series, but whose barely average performance was supposed to speak for the series as a whole.

Saying that Paper Mario is completely different from SMRPG is absolute
bullcrap anyway. They're both RPGs, they both star Mario, they both
have an emphasis on witty dialogue over plot intricacies, they both
have battle systems that revolve around timed hits, they both have a
heavy emphasis on dungeon trekking, Mario uses a hammer as one of his
primary weapons, and so on. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |
