The action-RPG is back and Mario can turn himself into a paper plane. Obviously
Nintendo have confirmed that Paper Mario 2 for Gamecube will be released in Japan later this year, meaning we should get to see the game in the UK some time in 2005.
The sequel to the Nintendo 64 RPG, which is being developed by Intelligent Systems (who coded the original game) and features 2D style graphics in a 3D world, gives Mario the ability to turn himself into a paper plane and fly around the environments. Which is handy.
