Mario? With some paper? Again? Yes indeed, but this one's the Wii version. "When?" you ask... September 14th comes the response - at least from the European perspective.
In case you've never experienced dead-tree Mario, here's the rough idea according to Nintendo, "As with the previous two games in the Paper Mario series, all characters are as flat as a sheet of paper. However, our hero Mario can manipulate the environment around him to his benefit, opening up new paths and possibilities with the ability to ‘flip’ from 2D to 3D at will. This ability comes in handy throughout the game and is crucial to the progress of the player in his rescue mission."
So, this Wii device - just how different does it make your 2 and 3D Mario experience then? "The majority of on-screen action is controlled simply by holding the Wii Remote sideways using only the Control Pad and two buttons."
"Unique special moves and abilities can be activated by shaking and moving the controller; so that players can not only set up chains and earn bonus points when defeating enemies, but also use abilities like fire, thunder and ice attacks.
"Super Paper Mario mixes the role-playing game-style adventure of its predecessors with the platform action of classic Mario games from yesteryear, bringing players a deep, entertaining quest that is truly the best of both worlds."
There we go then. Anything online about the game? Nope.
And if you're going to pay full retail for the experience, you're looking at forking over £35 (€52). Check out our dedicated Super Paper Mario page right here.

So after all this wait, what kind of swearword residing from the US version will we get this time? ;)

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the news of SPM releasing in Europe on said date, is actually at least a month old.
