The graphical upgrade isn't really that noticeable, and you actually loose a few of the effects on the gun (like the heat shimmer after firing the charged shot). The Trilogy is mostly worth the purchase for the controls.

Augh you're kidding me...how did I not know this?? I could've got one of the GBA games along with Paper Mario...aw well, still worth every penny I've ever put into this game.

Yeah, Paper Mario has been available on the Nintendo eShop for about 2 weeks now. I bought it around the time it came out, because I love the first two games in the series.

Not sure why not one has posted about this here yet, but;

There's currently a Humble Bundle going on right now, where you can get about 11 indie games, typically worth $115, for the low price of $10.

It's USA only, however, but Nintendo confirmed there would pssobily be another one for other regions in the future.

Is there any news on the Mario game for Wii U? Or are they not creating a platformer this time around like Sunshine and Galaxy?

Mario Maker comes out this year. And Mario 3d World came out last year.

Fixed.

I consider 3D World part of the main line 3D series. It's not a Bros. game or a part of the "New" series.

It's a spin off of the "main" series, just like "New" and everything else.

IIRC, there was a thread debating what is part of the main series and what is not.

Yes I did mean the Main Series. I consider the main series as the platformer that brings the best out of the console. Its usually a system seller. I saw 3D world and thought it was a spin-off from the main series or part of the New Bros. series hence I never thought this was THE Mario game of the Wii U.
