Nintendo have confirmed Paper Mario 2!

This weeks' edition of the Japanese games magazine "Famitsu" comes with confirmation of a new Paper Mario game in development! The sequel to the cult N64 RPG is provisionally titled Mario Story 2 -the Japanese name for the first game was Mario Story.

The game will take place using a similar 2D graphics engine to the original game and is apparently being developed by the developer of the original game, Intelligent Systems.

In Paper Mario, players took on the role of the pleasant porky plumber in a 2D style RPG with a menu-driven battle system, it was released towards the end of the N64s' life, so few got to play it. But those that did, however, lauded it as one of the most enjoyable games in the N64s' library.

More as we have it!
