Online gaming publication Kotaku recently had the opportunity to chat with┬áNintendoÔÇÖs Rise Tabata on why they have decided to tone down the RPG elements in Paper Mario Colour Splash. Tabata says that┬áPaper Mario Colour Splash┬áfor the Wii U will be an action ÔÇô adventure game as they already have the Mario & Luigi RPG series.

When I asked Tabata back at E3 whether we should think of the new Paper Mario as an RPG, she said: ÔÇ£This game is an action-adventure.ÔÇØ She then explained what many Paper Mario fans have already deduced. ÔÇ£IÔÇÖm sure youÔÇÖre aware that, at Nintendo, we also have another series called the Mario & Luigi RPG series,ÔÇØ she said. ÔÇ£And so since we already have that established Mario & Luigi RPG series, in order to differentiate these two series that we have running concurrently, weÔÇÖve tried to focus more on the non-RPG elements for the Paper Mario games.ÔÇØ
