I can't begin to express how much of a relief this trailer was. After so many years of so very many dull Mario RPGs with nothing but toads toads and more toads thanks to some supposed internal "mandate" never to stray from existing characters being "on model" or whatever, we finally get an RPG (that isn't a remake!) going back to the weird! Clearly Nintendo's done some thinking internally after the sheer success of the remake of Super Mario RPG, because after getting Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remade along with the amazingly creative Super Mario Wonder, Mario is finally allowed to be WEIRD again!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
