Making the first Paper Mario wasn’t easy for Intelligent Systems. First and foremost, the team couldn’t decide on the proper approach that should be taken for the game’s visuals.
Here’s one of the earliest designs created for the project:
As you can see, the title wasn’t known as “Paper Mario” at the time – understandably so. Instead, it was tentatively called “Mario RPG 64”. While it’s made of 3D polygons, according to Naohiko Aoyama, it features “an atmosphere like that of a picture book transplanted into a video game—with paper-thin 2D background and characters.”
The Wii U browser has a bit of a secret video playback function. It would appear that most, if not all, MP4 video files should be viewable through a computer.
Essentially, all that’s required is to set up a simple web server and upload the desired files. Then visit the server by entering your IP address in the URL bar, click on the video you wish to see, and that’s it! There’s a slightly more in-depth explanation here.
Video playback is limited to MP4 files. Other file types such as AVI and MKV aren’t compatible.
Thanks to Jackson for the tip.
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed could be seeing another delay on the 3DS. Amazon as well as GameStop are now listing the game’s release date as February 12, 2013.
This update should only be treated as a rumor for now. Officially, SEGA has yet to confirm a final date for the portable racer.
“We hope to live up to the same kind of success with the Wii. As you can see, people are really excited about it. Time will tell.” – Head of Consumer Marketing at Nintendo UK, James Honeywell
I think anyone who makes anything hopes that they’d be as successful as the Wii! Except maybe Apple. Apple wants to be way more successful than that.
Honeywell went on to briefly talk about Wii U stock in the UK:
“The US has been a fantastic launch. Obviously that’s a much bigger market, and so they’ve got more stock, but we’re hoping for the same standard of success here in the UK.”
