I'll just stick to Paper Mario 2. Nintendo is such a silly goose!

Meh, whats so hard about just calling the game Paper Mario 2? This game is still going to be amazing, but there is something to be said about a nice simple title.

Some people at the IGN boards think it's going to be $29.99

DO they play on releasing Starfox as Starfox? I imagine they'll settle on a title at some point, no? First it was Starfox Armada, then Starfox 2 (which is certainly more fitting, imho.) I somehow doubt they'll wind up calling it just by the name Starfox.

If I didn't have to write a five-page preview of this for NOM UK I'd be writing up impressions of it for the Interweb. I swear.
I will say a couple things though. I'm a little ways into Stage 4 (of seven, I think) and so far Paper Mario RPG has really surprised me with all the different things that it's thrown at me. The first dungeon was straightforward. The second combined exploration and battling with puzzles - I had to pick sides in a turf war between two Kodama-esque races of tree-dwelling spirit bug thingies, then lead a hundred and one of them (all represented on the screen) around to different landmarks to solve the puzzle.
I already feel like I've gained so many different powers and special moves that I should be towards the end of the game, but I'm not even halfway. You can walk "sideways" to squeeze through narrow gaps, roll up into a tube, and of course there's the airplane mode. Which is a lot of fun. Every time you find a new area you can spend five or ten minutes figuring out all the little secrets they hide inside of it.
Add all those little secrets up and it turns out I've played twenty hours so far, which makes me think that I won't be done for at least another twenty. There's some serious replay value. And my God, is the story hilarious. I can't wait to see the English version, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing this. Too addictive.

Well, it's just that this e-mail calls Star Fox "Star Fox" as if it is a finalized title, and yet they have the exact title for PM2...their releases aren't that far apart, you'd figure they'd have them both by now.
If we're going to take this e-mail as a guarantee as to the titles, might as well use "Star Fox" too.

Definitely...Although I think Star Fox 2 is fitting, I'm not sure it really works, since then the unknowing public will think they missed 1, not knowing it was an SNES title. I think a title like Star Fox Armada fits well enough.
I know the kid I babysit will die for it...the kid was addicted to 64.
It's just weird that the perfectly acceptable Paper Mario 2 got a subtitle before the ambiguous Star Fox.
It is my understanding that Starfox 64 was a remake, not a sequel, of the SNES original. So, a name of Starfox 2 would definitely work, imho.
As for Starfox Armada... the problem (for me) lies in the acronym. SFA = Starfox Adventures = filth. Bad association.

No way, the Ogre Battle Saga has the best subtitles ever...GaimeGuy said:
-March of the Black Queen
-Let Us Cling Together
-Person of Lordly Caliber
-Legend of the Zenobia Prince
-The Knight of Lodis
...as for "The Thousand Year Door" well at least it's better than "Legend of the Seven Stars" or "SuperStar Saga". I'd rather the game were just Paper Mario 2 or Paper Mario Story but NOA seems intent on giving all their RPGs subtitles lately it seems. :/
As for Star Fox, I'm still pulling for Star Fox Armada as the title...

It didn't need a subtitle, Nintendo.

What if Elvina was doing it to test reaction on the message boards?
Or maybe it was a joke on her part cause she was bored...

I was going to suggest this also, you know, some fan thinks he's got some exclusive info and Elvina does this purposely to make him look like a wacko on the message boards...
I'll admit there might be a better one, but I find the subtitle to be fine. I think it's way better than just putting up a number. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is what I would call a bad title: although Echoes is really superb, the whole MP2 is totally ridiculous. Couldn't they have just called it Metroid: Echoes? I don't like the whole game numbering... ugh all these 64s were aweful.
As for Starfox I'm still hoping for Armada. I find Starfox Armada to sound really nice, and I like the association with flying through/battling a huge enemy armada (like in the few videos of space combat released).
