Nintendo has unveiled Paper Mario: Sticker Star at E3 2012. An important new concept within the game is that of “stickers”. You collect these during the game and use them within battles. There’s a “Hammer Sticker”, for instance. It will available as a digital and retail release during the holiday season. There are screenshots after the break.

    Can’t wait! Looks amazing!

  • Beat

    I hope it it has as good a story as previous Paper Mario titles

    • Carlinhos

      Hope it’s as good as thousand year door. This title had the best paper mario story so far.

  • su

    does anyone doubts the story would not be as good as the previous ? come on, stupid comments

    • Big E

      You’re stupid…Is that what you wanted to read? We don’t know ANYTHING about the story.

    • su

      Nope, you’re the stupid one, all the previous game had amazing stories to tell, why this new one would suck ?
      Of course it’s going to be amazing as it should be. -.-

    • frostare

      Of course it will be! But I’m not betting on it, that way it will surprise me more!

    • KING Z

      @Big E, No Your Stupid, So Shut Up

      HE has a point atari fanboy

  • Boosos

    Looks cool, way better than super paper mario for wii

  • GateMan

    still no sign of any partners ):

    • Jordan

      There was a silver crown with a face floating behind Mario and talking to him as partners have in previous Mario games, and a Chain chomp battling behind Mario in a previous picture.

    • frostare

      That could serve as Tippi’s role but I think it WILL have partners.

    • Matt

      I hope it will… cuz i kinda hate the “stickers are your action commands” bs

  • tgg24

    this is epic

  • frostare

    My favorite series ever… THIS WAS AMAZING!

  • SakuMo

  • Kevin Jo

  • Bewoulf2000

  • adrian12369

    this holiday is going to be sick!

  • FlamingThundurus

    I’m confused…… Some people are telling me that this comes out holiday season as in “summer holiday”? And some people people say holiday season as in November area which one is it?

    • HeroSparr

      Technically its the same depending upon where you live.

  • jklrabbit

    Missed the showing, sadly. Is this what Paper Mario 3D turned into, or a separate game on its own?

    • KING Z

      Now What Do You Think? -.-

  • adam

    Can’t wait for this, however I hope the sticker concept doesn’t make this game not as good as what it could be.

  • My name is NOT Earl

    The name kinda makes me think it’s dumb, but I have played the Mario RPGs and I know those are better than the 2d-3d Mario games…so I’ll just get used to it.

  • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

    Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
    No people complaining about a digital and retail release!!!!
    With over 200 comments complaining last time

  • Davey
