Nintendo life 3ds eshop12/18/2023 ![]() Emphasis on tongue-in-cheek because holy crap, this game’s writing is so clever! So much funny banter with Huey and other characters that it just makes me happy. To me, it’s more of a tongue-in-cheek adventure game with RPG battles thrown in to mix up the gameplay. I don’t even really consider this an RPG. Paper Mario: Color Splash: 8/10 - I know this follows the Sticker Star style of Paper Mario games (which I gave a very deserved 4/10), which isn’t ideal, but I will die alone on this hill and say Color Splash is just flat out fun. Instead, it’s just a very by the numbers M&L game, and it has an astounding lack of polish with how many glitches there are. They could’ve done so much more with the concept of the two worlds mixing, but they really didn’t. M&L Paper Jam: 6/10 - I knocked this a few points down for missed potential. My personal ratings are probably not too different from the majority of other players, but I did have a few strange choices: ![]() Bowser's Inside Story is the type of thing where I feel I'd need to take music theory classes to describe how surprisingly underwhelming it can get. Phantom Hourglass at least had the decency to have far more obvious problems with some of its music, its issues are clear to anyone with a basic understanding of what Zelda music is. I dunno, I'd struggle to think of a lot of Nintendo games where I have this issue, at least the really major ones. Like compare all the stuff surrounding the main beat in the background of the beach theme from the first game to the beach theme in this game, for example. Maybe someone who knows music theory could justify or explain this, but much of the songs don't go anywhere interesting, they're just meandering along as acceptable and catchy but the melodies are also kinda flat I guess.
