Yeah! It was long, long ago. Paper Mario was criticized by RPGamer and RPGFan as a baby game. Pre-rendering was soooo cool at the end of the 16-bits. Paper Mario looked like a KID'S game.
Alright, so Nintendo Japan always had a few weird titles. Mother, For the Frog the Bell Tolls, Marvelous, all those adventure games on Famicom and later BS Satellite, but the end of the N64 was when desperation started sinking in, and the weird shit started seeping into the main series. Paper Mario and Majora's Mask were the two games where i went from thinking Nintendo was alright but i was TOO OLD FOR THAT BABY STUFF to where i started thinking "Wow, Nintendo can make weird stuff i like too!"
