I hear this game is more like Superstar Saga than Partners in Time, which is a very good thing.  Nice to see Fawful again!

Looks great, love the Mario RPG games, but f' the blowing part.  Worst implementation of a system "feature" ever.

I want to say that it was the babies that killed PiT. :P Yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said.

The Mario & Luigi games actually lived up to Mario RPG unlike the Paper Mario series, so I'm looking forward to this third entry.  It looks far more innovative than its predecessor.

Looks crazy and awesome.  I wonder if we're just seeing the highlights, or if it's consistently wild.

This looks rad, however, they should just make a Mario RPG sequel instead.

That looks pretty awesome but I'm not sure whether I'd wanna play a game entirely as bowser.  Not that the plumbers are particularly engaging I suppose...

This is a Mario RPG however. You do play as the Mario Brothers, though Bowser gets plenty of screentime as protagonist since the Bros are actually inside his belly futzing around with his internal systems.

I think the Paper Mario games are technically supposed to be the spiritual sequel to Super Mario RPG, gameplay wise.

Not really, that's probably nostalgia speaking. SMRPG hasn't aged well, the only Mario RPG worse than it is Partners in Time.

I like the idea of blowing into the mic to breath fire, the Bowser gameplay looks great, but one thing stood out above all else in this trailer: That dude punched a castle!
