I hope that the series makes a return in the future. With the surveys that people have been getting from nintendo, I am more hopeful than ever that it is coming back soon!

    Very interesting video since Superstar Saga is still my favorite of the Mario RPGs and I now appreciate it even more. Its interesting how the game's development was, I've always liked the spinning 3D star introduction in a fight in the game, it looked completely unique for a GBA game and makes the game more special. I hope you get to meet more developers in the future, I love learning this stuff.

    Man, that was pretty cool to get in-contact with a previous member of Alphadream. I kinda wished you'd ask him why they removed the Fire and Thunder powers in the next instalments, but then I realized he was no longer there for Bowser's Inside Story.

  • @joeshmoe735
    @joeshmoe735 7 місяців тому +1

    My personal theory as to why they went under is in part because nintendo had them still working on the 3ds when the switch was already released. If i'm correct the inside story remake came out 2 years after the switch's launch when most people had abandoned ship. Along with paper jam not being held as fondly as the rest, it went from a stumble to not reaching the ship in time with something truly noteworthy. Had they had the remake reworked to be ported to switch I wholeheartedly believe they would've lasted for at least one more release.

Then I replayed Partners in Time after 8 years and enjoyed it (albeit a lot less than I remember as a kid) and just started replaying bowser's inside story (the 3DS version, my DS cart got broken and I don't like using emulators much). Been having a blast and I'm gonna play the last two games in the series! I hope everyone at alphadream get hired by nintendo to work on any future games in this series, I think it's definitely coming back after the success of Mario RPG and Paper Mario TTYD Switch versions!

    • @lizard.y
      @lizard.y  7 місяців тому

      I believe only about one or two moved to Sega.From our current knowledge with what games the devs have been credited on, they all went totally separate ways. Some at companies like Monolith Soft, some at smaller places like Onion Games, etc. I don’t think there was many that went to a single company, unless some did and they’ve just been taking their sweet time on a game.

  • @crypticforevz
    @crypticforevz 7 місяців тому +4

    Well 😊Yeah cuz the 3ds ones werent faithful their originals like
    The reworked songs were close but rlly garbage sounding fr , alot of the instruments of their originals are missing for sake of modernization but it only made the 3ds remakes clunkier and incomplete u can call this a dumbing down .
    The sprite reworks used to be good only for dream team and paper jam cuz they were unique but the 3ds remakes theyve become generic and rushed and kinda obsolete ,
    they wouldve been better if the dream team assets in the 3ds remakes were faithful to their original to keep their original uniqueness and charm.
    Repetitive in game art style is also a problem in the 3ds remakes cuz for the remakes theyve also couldve chosed to handrawn style likethe official m&l rpg style , but no keep reusing pre existing assets and dumbing them down .
    The side storys of the remakes are pure mediocre and barely contribute to the mains story
    Especially Bowser jr journey the side story plot is good but terribly executed and doesnt contribute to the main story at all and both of their side storys have slow repetitive gameplay but the jr journey one was obsolete and rly difficult .
    Thats why the 3ds remakes were rlly bad and the worst selled games barely any effort were put in those remakes .
    Its clear the 3ds remakes were rushed on a dying console just the save alphadream but thy only lead to their demise by not just releasing these on a dying console but rushing the remakes out . Its alphadream s'own fault of why they are gone since 2019 , if they were smarter than this replacing paper jam wth a 3ds remake of superstar saga then preparing themselves for the switch to make a PiT and BiS reamke on the switch then alphadream woule still be alive .🙄😭
    Hope the devs will learn the studios s' critical failures so when nintendo will bring a new studio to continue the mario&luigi series .🙃
