Nintendo gives a shocking new perspective on the most classic of video game themes, and will flip you out in the process.

Though Mario usually only wears one literal hat — the red cap with his initial on it — he’s sported infinite figurative hats in his video game career. The Paper Mario series (and Mario vs. Luigi on handheld) has poked fun at the plumber’s roots while offering a more in-depth, role-playing affair. In the first Wii appearance for Nintendo’s main man, it continues this path while also paying homage to the 2D platforming that made Mario such a superstar in the first place.

At first, it’s tough to distinguish Super Paper Mario from the NES Super Mario Bros.: Hold the remote in traditional controller fashion, and find yourself running to the right, jumping on Goombas and going down pipes. Sure, that was one of the greatest games of all time, but it may make those of lesser Nintendo faith think, “This is next-gen?” After all, you can buy the original game on Virtual Console for $5. Quickly, you find out that this world that looks so natural, so historic in flat, two dimension hides a shocking 3D perspective: At the push of a button, Mario immerses himself in the Mushroom Kingdom in a way that is simultaneously old and new.

The hard evidence is starting to flow in that retailers have had about enough from the PS3’s 20GB model. A Best Buy employee sent us a printout from their computer system showing the status of the 20GB model as “discontinued.” We confirmed the printout information by contacting three separate stores. This does not mean the 20GB PS3 model’s production has been discontinued — just that Best Buy will no longer carry it.

When Joystiq spoke with Sony’s David Karraker earlier this week he told us, “Overwhelmingly, retailers have been requesting the 60GB model, the mix has been about 80 percent 60GB, 20 percent 20GB retailer orders.”
