Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door Remake - 9/10 GS, 89 MC!

Sweet, glad I preordered it! Never played the original. Will you be checking out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door on Switch, SW?

Nintendo just can't be stopped.

"Will you be checking out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door on Switch, SW?"

Negative.

Well, it's no Hellblade 2 but try to enjoy it anyway, I guess. lol :P

That is the dumbest negative I've seen in long a time.

Picking up on Thursday, can't wait!

Combat is literally holding the stick in one direction and pressing one button.

@Litchie: I was going to say, sup with that negative?

You could say I moved on from Nintendo, but I seem to give them another shot every now and again when a new console comes out, hoping that it'll recapture my interest as it did when I was growing up. Sadly, I've been let down every time. I have yet to find one Nintendo game out of their many consoles since the Wii, that I actually sunk hours into. :(

Very nice. Loved the original and will definitely be grabbing this on day one.

The physical copies have been selling out! Hurry up!

@SolidGame_basic: It’s not available in stores yet though. 😅

But you got to hurry, it is selling out.😂

@Pedro: I’m trying dammit! I’m trying!

Store PA: “Security needed in Electronics.”

lol when two people don’t understand that games can be bought online

@SolidGame_basic: You mean I can actually purchase games through this series of tubes called the, “Internet”? How utterly fascinating!

The remake looks really solid. Only real flaw I can find is that it is locked at 30 fps.

Inb4 a certain poster ruins this thread with his usual, predictable culture wars nonsense.

Odd, I never mention anything about stores. How does that change the fact that the game is still not out.😂

The only Paper Mario game that I ever played is the first one for the N64 but the Thousand Year Door remake looks good.

TTYD is a great sequel to Paper Mario 64.

Nintendo Switch change this game from the original to be woke - go woke go broke!!

Quite the opposite, the Switch version is actually more loyal to the original japanese script.

Yup, you’re actually using the internet as we speak!

Do you mean about this?

@SolidGame_basic: Poppycock!

It is okay for a boy to crossdress or be a femboy but not ok to be trans? People find weird shit to bitch about.😂

@Pedro: I know right. 🤦‍♂️😅

Yup, didnt want to mention it directly, because it could be seen as spoiler territory.

But honestly, this game looks really solid, with a lot of QoL improvements, I am seriously considering getting it myself. Depending on my plans for next month.

Can't wait, bring on tomorrow!

I got a delivery notification that it delivered early! Woot for online shopping!

Who is that person? Who? Can't think of anyone, but i forced myself not to mention that other game.

Can we keep the culture wars nonsense out of System Wars? Just keep it to the Off-Topic forum where it belongs since Political Gamers no longer exists.

@onesiphorus: Seems like the same type of user who would go around saying "keep politics out of it" out of the other side of their mouth but doesn't see the hypocrisy 😒 (eoten is that you?)

Back on topic, I am glad a new generation gets to play it but I'm OK with my original version. If this was a 3DS version that used the 3D screen, or if it supported 3D TVs, then I would be more interested. It seems like the type of game that would look cool that way.

I wonder if they'll bring back Super Paper Mario, that game was very cool.

Such is the power of Nintendo!

The new graphics do look nice, but I will prob stick with the gamecube version if I want to play again.

Not surprised; Thousand Year Door is on the list of greatest Nintendo games ever made.

loving the music so far!

I played the original Gamecube version and It's not my cup of tea. Still, I am happy for sheep. Enjoy!

Wow another great game for the Switch. Lol Hellblade 2 got a 6/10

@hardwenzen A certain cow. Won't name them, but it is not you. You are a hermit in denial, and it is only a matter of time till you start playing all the ant games I like. Then you will replace your graphics card with a 1070, after that you end your RPG addiction and stick to mostly strategy games and indie games, shortly after you will start delving into Paradox Interactive's library.

After this, you will finally realize that graphics arent that important, and you will get Nintendo's next console, and buy Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door with it, assumign it is backwards compatitable. And your transformation will be complete!

You will love the thousand year door's remaster too! Appreciate its QoL features, new content and other improvements.

A true classic. Intelligent Systems really brought in their A game in the gamecube days. Whether it was Path of Radiance, Advance Wars or Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, everything they made was a complete banger. As good as Origami King and Three Houses are this gen, they were more consistant back then.

You know somethings suss when they praise the story of a Mario game.

On a side note I see Nintendo are milking the sheep with remakes now.

The original Thousand Year Door was praised for its narrative as well.

Origami King could have had a great narrative, if Nintendo didn't clamp down on any attempts at World Building. When Intelligent Systems were allowed to tell something, they did a phenomenal job. TTYD was made before Miyamoto said no to any attempts at world building.

@Maroxad: Let me re-iterate, you know something suss when they start praising the story in a Mario game.

The Thousand Year Door's story was praised back then too. So the praise here is nothing new.

So, it was suss back then as it is now. Nothing has changed.

@last_lap: You never even played the game. Lol

I wouldn't say it's anything about the story that's groundbreaking, but the sharp and witty writing that makes the game stand out.

And this reception is going to be questioned as soon as Digital Foundry makes their video. Not because of one of them already expressing disappointment that the Switch version has lower framerate than the GCN version, but the internet's tendency to blow a DF video out of proportion, given DF's history of defending some games with uneven framerate.

@jaydan: So, you're saying Mario finds Peach and she cures his blue balls? Now that would be an amazing story lol.

Did you play the game? Or did you see the actual dialogue?

It doesnt explore anything particularly original or indepth. But the writing and dialogue is nonetheless very well executed. The cast was likeable enough too.

@last_lap: You haven't even played the game you are talking about. Lol
