Paper Mario: Sticker Star Takes Collecting Stickers to a Whole New Level of Fun

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The newest installment of the Paper Mario franchise flattens the mustached hero into a two dimensional, paper-thin character and nothing could be more fun. Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the portable Nintendo 3DS introduces a new way for players to solve puzzles and execute attacks using stickers, which are found throughout the game. The colorful game world looks like a shoebox diorama, and takes on a sense of depth in full 3D, without the need for special glasses.

“The Paper Mario series is known for its inventive battles and quirky humor,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The 3D graphics and the introduction of stickers add a fresh new element that will have players glued to their games.”

More summarization of the big ol’ Scott Moffitt article from earlier, this time about Nintendo’s overall strategy for the holidays.

Moffitt says that Wii U is NOT Nintendo’s number one priority for the holiday shopping season. The 3DS and 3DS XL are.

“We’re seeing an ever-growing momentum in our handheld business,” he said, “19 months in, we’re still a million units ahead of the pace of DS at this point in its life. As you know, DS was the best-selling gaming system of all time, and so we’re pleased with that.”

That really makes you wonder: Are people just over-exaggerating the trouble that dedicated gaming devices are in? If the 3DS is still a million units ahead of the DS, and the DS had had TWO holiday seasons by this time… it’s really tough to believe that iDevices are killing the handheld gaming market!

12th November 2012 – Get ready for a white (or yellow) Christmas as Nintendo brings a new limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL White and a limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Yellow console as the ultimate Christmas gifts this festive season.

For any Mario lover, the two Nintendo 3DS XL White consoles will be at the top of your Christmas wishlist. Whether you prefer traditional platforming action or fast-paced, arcade-style racing, the choice is yours, as you can pick from either having Mario Kart 7 or Super Mario 3D Land pre-installed on your system.


Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt has answered a bunch of questions about the Wii U. There’s also a little bit of 3DS talk.

Head past the break to see what Moffitt had to say about Wii U ads, possible shortages, keeping third-parties interested in making games for the console, two GamePad experiences, and more.
