Paper Wii-rio (That Doesn't Even Make Sense)

Hey Matt. It doesn't seem like Super Paper Mario for the GCN is coming out on October 9th (given that it hasn't been released in Japan yet, and everyone but Nintendo has the game listed as Q4 '06 or Q1 '07). I know you vaguely hinted at games for another console being moved onto Wii instead. So is there any chance Nintendo is going to move Super Paper Mario onto Wii? Or was that just a one-time deal with Zelda?

Matt responds: Hmm. How should I write this? Have to be vague, you know? Let me just say that yes, Paper Mario will be headed to Wii and not GameCube. Now read between the lines, damn you! Wait. That was a terrible hint! All right, that's it for today. Time to beat Bozon.

Well, that explains why we haven't seen too much media of the game since E3. I wonder if Kirby GCN was also subjected to the same fate?

Matt Cassamassina. 'Nuff said. Dude posts another stupid "LOL INSIDER INFORMATION" post every other week and 90% of them are never confirmed.

Which is why I didnt post this news here, this man is a complete load, if you must hold your breath, then do as you may. Although I'm quite sure its still going to be for the GCN, it already looked nearly complete since E3 and...which other convention it was presented as playable.

I'm really sick of IGN's "OMG I KNOW THIS SECRET BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU GUYS LOL NDA, tune in tomorrow for all the details", but it is incredible guys just wait"

This is one of the reasons I don't like Casamassina. That and IGN is a joke anyway. A chick licks a PSP, gets a job there... too bad they didn't pick somebody who was knowledgable as a gamer instead of picking some casual gamer with boobs.

There is math.

But the other problem with this scenario is all of the people who assume she's a casual gamer with boobs without bothering to actually check, not realizing that she's been an avid gamer for 20 years and can hardly be called "casual".

I'm not saying IGN wasn't totally pandering to nothing but sex appeal when they hired her, but I am saying that it's not fair to trash IGN for falsified reasons. Casamassina is more than enough to use.

And...it looks like it's been confirmed. At least in Japan.

Dammit.

I'm not spending $300 for that game. (Wii + SPM)

Makes sense if you ask me. Most shops over here have almost stopped selling Gamecube games completely. It's another Mario game for the Wii, too. Shame they can't do a Zelda with it, though.
