Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

November this year will mark the 10 year anniversary of what Nintendo Power deems the best GameBoy Advance game ever, placed at #24 on the all time list. Can't argue with that. The game gave birth to one of the most humorous bad guys in Fawful and the writing throughout the game resulted in one of the most humorous RPG's ever made. The gameplay was very unique at the time as we were tasked to control both Mario & Luigi to overcome obstacles and perform nifty tricks to dish out maximum damage. Of the 3 games in the series so far, Partners In Time remains my favorite, but they are all 5 star titles. After seeing Paper Mario make the jump from home console to portable, I would love to see this franchise jump from portable to console. A Mario & Luigi game on Wii U with unique GamePad controls could be a system seller.

This, to me, is the true spiritual successor to SMRPP. The Paper Mario series has established itself as "not-quite-an-rpg" which is great to me. Leave the RPG-ness to the Mario Luigi games.

Yeah I agree. Because the Paper Mario series is becoming more light on RPG I haven't had the urge to pick up Sticker Star. If I'm going to dive into an RPG I want to play a game that is deep in the genre, not something that toes the line of a couple different genres. Sticker Star does look like a fun game, it's just not something I must play immediately.
