Paper Mario 3DS

Paper Mario 3DS has been announced at E3 by Nintendo. One of the many pleasant surprises by the big N this year, further proving they mean business with their little 3D handheld. No specifics on the story have been formally announced but from what has been seen, it is a return to basics with only Mario confirmed as a playable character so far.

The visuals are crisp just as in previous entries in the series and the battles look like a number of improvements have been made. Battles also feature new attacks such as using scissors to cut groups of enemies of of battle. Usual levels such as underground and lava environments are also set to return. No confirmed release details have been set, but one would imagine we will be playing Paper Mario in 2012.
