Super Paper Mario
It's mostly an action platformer similar to Super Mario World and all the other side scrolling games except it has a fair bit of RPG elements and there is an ability to flip from 2D to 3D.
I'll be picking it up next week after I finish the gamecube Paper Mario (which is also awsome, much more RPG though)
Here's some bits from the Gamespot review:
The Good: Fun, engaging gameplay; great sense of humor; lengthy quest with a respectable amount of replay value.
The Bad: Awkward camera when flipping to 3D; weak audio; pacing issues with some of the later levels.
While Mario's proper 3D Wii adventure is still a ways off, Nintendo and developer Intelligent Systems have cooked up an engaging adventure to tide the plumber's fans over--Super Paper Mario. Although originally slated to be a GameCube release, Super Paper Mario has been shifted to the Wii to good effect. The unique game is a hybrid of platforming and role-playing that feels both new and familiar at the same time. The game has many of the aesthetics of the previous Paper Mario games and features an inventive story, eccentric characters, rock-solid gameplay, and genuinely funny dialogue. While the whole package isn't quite refined enough to attain classic status, Super Paper Mario is still a great game that stands among the Wii's best.
In the end, while it's not quite on par with some of the other entries in the series, Super Paper Mario stands as an engaging and fun Wii game that's well worth your time. Though the minor camera and pacing issues as well as the underwhelming audio keep the game from being a totally polished experience, there's plenty to appreciate. Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm. Anyone with a Wii should check it out.
