There is too much reading for a typical 7-year old, IMO.

P.S. If he likes to get coins, why not go for NSMB2? You can even buy extra levels online to download.

I think it depends - when my daughter was 7 she was reading "real" books (small font, no pictures) like Harry Potter... although she is pretty nuts about reading (she prefers it to all other activities and reads like 3 books a week). I'm pretty sure my son won't be like that when he is 7 though... so I think it really depends on the kid.

thanks guys! Yeah I was worried about the reading aspect, hence why I've always deterred him from the Pokemon games, but from what I saw on videos for Paper Mario, it looked like most of the character captions were gibberish. I guess the reading aspect comes in to advance the story (?) He reads alright for his age, at least thats what his teachers say and from the books we read at night..perhaps I will search out a demo unit with it in or somehow let him try it out first.

Yup, I know, picked that up day one to try to get him off 3D Land, he played it for 20 mins and he just didn't like it for some reason. IDK, he didn't like NSMB either. Maybe he doesn't like 2D planes...kids nowadays! Have no roots..

Does anybody know how many blocks this will take up if you download it? I may go that route. I only have 5000 blocks left on my SD card.

Amazon actually mailed my copy today so it will be here on Monday! That's the first time they have ever done that for me with a Sunday release game. Usually they don't mail them until the Monday after.

Does anybody know what other 2 more recent games to pair this up with for the Best Buy Sale? I guess I could get one of the Pokemon Games if I had too but anything else?

Personally, I'm getting Professor Layton and Theatrythym to go with Paper Mario tomorrow.

its 3ds games only good luck finding 2 more good 3ds games LOL

Does anyone know if this game has local play, download play, streetpass or spotpass capabilities? Can't seem to find it on the game's website. Thanks.

None of the above.

In the first town and I'm stuck already. Can't find the toads. THere's a mat in front of one of the houses and it says "ow" "ouch" when you hit it but you can't release the toad on it.

Does it have multiple save slots so each player can have a separate file? I'll probably be sharing this game since there are no other options to do so like you say.

Serious question, are there any stickers inside the game case?

No, just got home from the store after a long ordeal trying to get this game. I hate Sunday releases!!!!!

I never encountered this but the club nintendo code for paper mario came blank.

Yes, there are 3 save slots. And no stickers in the case. ;(

This game is ridiculously fun so far. I have completed all of World 1 and it took a little over 3 hours. With 6 worlds and probably some sort of final stage area, that means this game will easily clock in at 20+ hours for me. I am glad they moved away from the much more platformer like game that was Super Paper Mario and instead went back to the RPG like encounters of the earlier games. The sticker mechanic is kind of lame, as I would rather have some sort of experience like system and choose whether my stats went toward HP, Power or Defense, but I am still enjoying the game. I don't see too many people getting stuck in this game if you like to explore. I jump around everywhere smash my hammer all over the place and go into paper mode to check things all the time. If you do all that, you won't get stuck.
