Mr. Casamassina spills the beans.

In the latest IGN mailbag, Matt Casamassina was asked a question regarding the release of Super Paper Mario for the Gamecube. The title has not yet been given a definite release day, and looks unlikely to hit European shores until sometime next year. Many had placed bets on the possibility of the title moving to Wii, and it looks like that is the way things are heading.

Hey Matt. It doesn't seem like Super Paper Mario for the GCN is coming out on October 9th (given that it hasn't been released in Japan yet, and everyone but Nintendo has the game listed as Q4 '06 or Q1 '07). I know you vaguely hinted at games for another console being moved onto Wii instead. So is there any chance Nintendo is going to move Super Paper Mario onto Wii? Or was that just a one-time deal with Zelda?

Matt responds: Hmm. How should I write this? Have to be vague, you know? Let me just say that yes, Paper Mario will be headed to Wii and not GameCube. Now read between the lines, damn you! Wait. That was a terrible hint! All right, that's it for today. Time to beat Bozon.

Well, you can't ask for a much more simple answer than that. Now all we need is official confirmation from Nintendo. We'll keep you in the know of this subject as more information comes in.
