It's alright. Not a game you can get deep into, though. Play it for about an hour and it will get boring, but in small doses its good. It's called Paper because all of the graphics appear as if they are drawn, or cardboard cutouts. When to flip into 3D mode, most of the environment is flat.
Got a tip for us?

It's pretty good. Very humorous, and fun.
The Paper comes from the fact that it has a very distinctive art style where the entire world is 2D, with the characters being like sheets of paper. Mario gains the ability to move into the third dimension, while the stage and characters remain 2D and paper-thin, resulting in some interesting puzzles.
thanks guys. i might have to try it out. not sure if it should be the first game that i buy or not though (only game i've bought is Wii Play b/c it comes with a controller)
I liked it (Super Paper Mario) fine. There's a few extra challenges to do after you've beaten it...kind of hard too. A little too much talking for me though. It's funny dialogue, but I was wanting to move a bit quicker through things. If you relax and move through it slowly discovering all the hidden characters and what not it's pretty fun.

Hm, I may not recommend it as the first game you buy; it doesn't really take advantage of the Wii that much. It could really be played with an NES controller.
Zelda is really fun, but LONG and no multiplayer. 40+ hours to finish the single player game skipping all side quests. If you like deep adventure games...
Excite Truck is relatively short, but it's a blast. It's an over-the-top racing game, kind of like burnout. You steer using the Wii remote, and can go off ridiculous jumps while boosting and adjusting your pitch and angle by tilting the remote. It's ridiculous, and it's fun.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids is something of a comedy game. It's a collection of shorter games (sort of like Wii Sports or Wii Play), but it's got around 70 of them, and it's about evil retarded bunnies that want to take over the world. Really funny. Great for multiplayer with friends, as they'll laugh like nuts at it.
thanks, it seems interesting. i watched the video review and it seemed pretty cool (gamespot)
thanks. yeah, it seems everybody likes excite truck, and i like trucks (i drive one), so i might get that one. i'll check out Rayman too, b/c it seems interesting based of what you described
Got a Wii and playing Super Mario Strikers till my eyes bleed. Then warming up with WiiSports. Haha.
Fun stuff, let me tell you. The Wii is a real innovation for games, they're not boring anymore!

I can't wait for Madden '08 on the wii. Although given the great reviews that Mario Strikers has been getting, it might be a tough decision between the two...
Between those two titles, yes, it is a tough decision. Mario Strikers is great and I'm throughly enjoying it.
I didn't want to start a new thread but I think this is so true....I love the Metriod series but I think the Big N is not really checking for the title anymore...Read on....I agree with this article.

I hate to be a lamer, but am I the only person that loves the fact that a game character is called "Wiki"? Imagine the scenarios:
Wiki is the ultimate team player, who only gains in power as people utilize his powers
Wiki can be corrupted by a small group of power players who exploit his teamwork to evil ends
...imagine the possibilities...

I agree as well, and [hate to open another can of worms, but] Nintendo is horrible at marketing their upcoming games. Seems like they only advertise a couple, and they usually don't do a good job at picking which ones to advertise; ie they choose ones that will undoubtedly sell less to advertise than ones that would sell better.
Case in point - Mario Party 8. We've all seen ads for MP8. Hell, truthfully, we've all seen a million ads for MP8 because we've seen ads for MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4 etc. etc. And I would bet that MP3: Corruption sells more copies than MP8 does when all's said and done, but which game did they choose to advertise? MP8. Why? If they advertised MP3:C, it would sell even better than it will without advertising. Yet they advertise the weaker of the two, for no conceivable reason whatsoever other than "they're stupid". (Sorry.)
Nintendo is fabulous at making games, but often poor at everything else. Man I remember as a kid that it seemed like 2 out of 3 commercials were for Nintendo or Super Nintendo games...what gives these days? Granted though, I can't fault them too much because I see more Wii commercials than Ps3 commercials, so Sony's doing an even worse job at advertising their product. (Meanwhile the 360 advertising department is kicking @$$ and taking names.) Stuff like this, it's elementary school smarts...not rocket science. The most glaring problem (shown by that article) is that the Metroid website doesn't even have anything to really showcase MP3:C, they're still talking about MP:Hunters...WTF? Someone contact Nintendo HQ and tell them to update that website, stat!
The only adverts you see here are film licensed games and Wii/DS adverts on Channel 4. The DS sponsors a lot of Channel 4 'adult' comedies. Or they did (remembers back to the one about the ¨it's not your kid¨ ad). ¨this is living¨ only seems to crop up at cinemas and the 360 adverts have pretty much vanished.
