A remake of the N64 title Paper Mario will soon be appearing on the Nintendo DS, if Japanese internet retailers are to be believed.
Ruliweb.com currently lists Paper Mario DS on its website, stamped with a July 2008 release.
We've tried contacting Nintendo UK for some sort of statement on whether this is true or not, but there seems to be no one around. We're imagining they've seen the buzz surrounding Wii Fit and are now swimming in a pool full of gold coins, ala Scrooge McDuck.
Incidentally, and to make that well-worn analogy new and fresh again, did you know that Forbes voted Scrooge McDuck last year's richest fictional character, with a net value of 28.8 billion?
Erm, yes. Paper Mario DS, then. A fantastic game for the N64. Might be coming to DS. No other details yet. But we're looking into it.
I bought this on the Virtual Console a few months back because it's freaking awesome. I doubt I'd pay for it again on the DS, but I think it would be very well suited to the console.
Why pay Ł29.99 for it on DS when its on The Virtual Shopping Channel for Ł7 on N64? seems a bit pointless... don't start making re-makes of games A La GBA style. We want Fresh New Games featuring Mario!!

Yeh new games would be great, although I wouldn't mind if they released Super Mario RPG on the DS though, or at least on the UK Virtual Console...
For gods sake nintendo. How about a new IP for once? The recycled formula of mario and zelda games is wearing me abit thin. Don't be afraid to come up with something new and (more importantly) good!

Ah quit your bloody moaning. If you dont want it, dont buy it. If this rumour turns out to be true you can bet this will be a huge success and will earn Nintendo megabucks.
If you have a product that sells... and sells by the bucketload they are not going to create a new IP before they will release their tried and tested AND sucessfull games.
